HALLOWEEN TIP: Turn your normal Steampunk costume into a creepy Halloween costume by adding a spandex second skin suit! They come in a variety of colors, but we think the white and black are the scariest. They look even better if you add an accessory over them, like goggles, a monocle, or a mask. It really drives home the point that you're looking into a dark void where someone's face should be. What's not to love? If the thought of a full bodysuit makes you sweaty, you can buy just the hood/mask here.
