Freddy Krueger is probably the most infamous horror movie villain of all time. Instantly recognizable thanks to his striped sweater, hat and claw hand, the Freddy Krueger costume truly is the stuff of nightmares.
While a Freddy Krueger costume can be used all year round, it’s at Halloween that this costume works best. Here is everything you’ll need to make the best Freddy Krueger costume.
What You’re Going To Need…
To create the perfect DIY Freddy Krueger costume you are going to need these six items.
While a Freddy Krueger Halloween costume requires six different items, it can be done on a budget. Those with cash to spare will also be able to find some premium options that truly makes this costume stand out.
Freddy Krueger Hat
The Freddy Krueger hat (brown Fedora) is possibly as important as the mask and the glove. Without it, a bald Freddy Krueger just doesn’t look complete.
Throughout the Nightmare On Elm Street movies, the hat appears to change color. In some movies, it looks a dark shade of green, in others, it looks brown/black.
Thankfully, when it comes to Fedora’s, their is a lot of choice.
Freddy Krueger Mask
The face is what makes Freddy Krueger most terrifying. The burnt skin on his face and neck gives him a frieghtening appearance that has given people nightmares for the best part of four decades.
Thankfully, Freddy Krueger masks comes in many different varities, from budget options to far more expensive and realistic options.
Freddy Krueger Glove
Another very important feature of the Freddy Krueger costume is of course the glove.
The glove is seen in all of the Nightmare On Elm Street movies. It is worn on the right hand and features blades at the end of the figners.
Freddy Krueger Sweater
The striped sweater that Freddy wears throughout the movies is probably as iconic as any other part of this costume.
The green and red striped sweater comes in a number of styles, including ripped and even with added burnt flesh. However, a standard version could be worn in everyday life, so the choice is really up to you.
Freddy Krueger Trousers
The bottom half of the Freddy Krueger Halloween costume is where you can save some money. If you have a dark pair of cargo trousers or jeans, you can simply use those.
However, if you don’t have any dark pants, then a fairly low-cost pair will do the job. The pants offer very little to the overall feel of the costume, as long as they are dark they will do the job.
Freddy Krueger Boots
As with the pants, the boots are another area where you can save money. Most people will have a pair of black boots or shoes at home.
If you don’t have your own pair of black boots, you can purchase a decent pair and use them in normal everyday life, or simply pick up a budget pair.
As you can see, the Freddy Krueger costume isn’t hard to put together. If you have trousers and boots, then you will only require four other items to make one of the most iconic Halloween costumes ever.
