If you’re looking to terrify the night this Halloween, you should think about wearing a Medusa costume. You just might scare those candy givers so much, they drop a little extra into your trick-or-treat basket. Although one look may not turn your friends to stone like the original Medusa, this costume will still give you plenty of looks from envious people wearing boring costumes. The Medusa costume has been popular ever since the early 1980′s, when the movie “Clash of the Titans” was released.

Here’s Medusa from the 2010 Clash of the Titans movie.

The heroic Perseus had to battle the mythical snake-haired Medusa in the movie, and from that, the costume was born. This costume is sold generally with a headpiece that is adorned with plastic snakes, a long wig, a dress with draping fabric, leg wraps and gloves. Many women find the Medusa character to be a sexy choice for Halloween, because of the skimpy dress. It is topped off by adding a staff to carry, high heel shoes, and wearing seductive make-up. Mentioned before, when a woman arrives at the party in a Medusa costume, she quickly gets noticed by everyone. Because most women will dress as cats, witches or the ever-popular, Elvira, the Medusa will stand out amongst them all.

Mostly, adult women wear this costume; however, there are versions that can be bought for younger girls. Even if you can’t find one to buy, making one at home is not a challenge. If you have both a boy and a girl to dress up that night, allowing the boy to dress as Perseus and the girl as Medusa, can make for more of a storyline on Halloween night, rather than just dressing up as the normal vampires and witches. Halloween costumes are trying harder to become more original, and nothing is more original than attending the party, or knocking on doors dressed as Medusa.

So when this Halloween comes howling at you to pick a good outfit to wear, you might want to think about the Medusa costume. You’ll get the benefit of looking original, not to mention the looks from every guy in the room checking out your skimpy dress and crazy snake hair. When wearing this costume, you can put yourself into the role of Medusa, and seductively work your way through the room, making sure everyone knows you are there.
