About the Grim Reaper

The personification of death itself, the Grim Reaper is usually depicted as a grinning skull peeking out from beneath a black, hooded robe. The Reaper is frequently seen carrying a large scythe and an hourglass, both symbols of mortality. The scythe is the weapon in which Death "cuts down" mortals, reaping them from the earth while the hourglass represents the fleeting seconds that comprise a human life in comparison to the millennia the world has been in existance.

Dressing up as the Grim Reaper

As Blue Oyster Cult once said, "Seasons don't fear The Reaper"... And neither should you! In fact, you should consider dressing up as him! Several styles are available in adult and childrens' sizes with some Reaper renditions creepier than others. For a terrifying look, go for the Gauze Grim Reaper costume or the Winged Reaper, casting a dark shadow with large bony wings.

For a fun twist on this classic, tempt mere mortals to the other side with a ladies' Sexy Reaper costume that shows those destined for the afterlife a little leg before shuffling off the mortal coil.

Accessorize your costume with a Grim Reaper Mask (for those costumes that don't include one) and, of corpse, a traditional Reaper scythe.
