Witch Halloween Costumes

My husband would tell you that if I wanted to be a witch for Halloween that I really don’t need a costume. He says this tongue in cheek, of course, but I’m not sure I find that to be very funny. For everyone else, witch Halloween costumes are definitely going to need more work and more imagination than that idea. The witch theme has been around for a very long time, and that means you have so many options that you may not be sure which way you want to go. Have fun with this one, and ignore the comments if your husband is anything like mine.

When most people think of the witch Halloween costumes that have been popular for just about forever, they often think of the witch from the Wizard of Oz. This powerful image about what a witch is has held on to our collective imaginations for a very long time. She had green skin, warts, and long, pointy fingernails. This is common for Halloween, but not always in the very same fashion. Most witch Halloween costumes have at least one of these things included however, making that witch one of the best known throughout the history of movies.

There are also some other common traits that many feel good witch Halloween costumes must have. One would be a broomstick, while some think a black cat and a pointy, black hat are must-haves. You don’t have to do anything that you don’t wish to do, however, so go with what you think. There is no law saying that you have to be an ugly witch anyway. Remember the good witch from the Wizard of Oz? You can go with any ‘good witch’ ideas that you have. Remember that you can also be a pretty bad witch if you want. That one is a lot of fun.

No matter where you look you are going to find witch Halloween costumes that you can buy all in one shot, or pieces that you can put together on your own. If you go with the green face paint, there are a few things you should consider first. You want to test the paint on your face first, as it could cause a breakout or an allergic reaction. You could dab some under your chin and leave it sit for a while to see what happens. If something happens, you can look online to see if you can find hypo-allergenic types of face paint to go with witch Halloween costumes, or go without.
