Werewolf costumes are some of the most classic outfits to dress in for 
Halloween. Along with Dracula, witches, and ghosts, the werewolf is more of a traditional costume meant to frighten others when worn on the ghoulish holiday. Though it may not be quite as popular as some of the other common Halloween costumes, plenty of werewolves can be seen running around on Halloween night. These costumes tend to be more geared to adults, as they do not receive a lot of popularity among the younger crowd.
There are a number of werewolf costumes that you can don to transform to the half man, half human creature. The outfit is not too important. Most costumes come with a shirt and jeans, both of which possess a tattered and worn look. This is because the transformation from man to beast usually means the clothing becomes too small. Many costumes come with button down shirts or t-shirts, depending on what you wish to wear.
Long sleeved shirts work best for werewolf costumes, because it is cooler to wear that and wolf-like gloves than arm pieces containing lots of fur. A common misconception about werewolf Halloween costumes is that they can make the person really them hot and miserable. However, most are now made with proper ventilation that will keep you from getting too overheated while playing the part of a werewolf. Along with gloves, foot pieces are typically worn over the shoes that resemble the feet of a werewolf.
A mask is probably the most important thing when people decide to be werewolves for Halloween. These masks typically come with lots of gangly, coarse hair flowing from the back of the facial area. The face consists of a dark brown color, with wrinkles and imperfections that make it look more like that of an animal. There are usually sharp yellow teeth protruding from the mouth, and large pointy ears extended from the face. The exact look of the werewolf will differ from mask to mask, so you can feel free to choose the one that looks the scariest to you.
If you choose to forgo the mask and make your face up to look like a werewolf, there are a few things you will need. Brown face paint or make-up will be necessary to get the proper skin tone for the beast. It will be difficult to match the wrinkles and hairy fur that a mask can provide, but you can sometimes find kits that come with these items. Fangs can also be applied to your canine teeth to allow your mouth to look like that of a werewolf.
With the werewolf being a classic Halloween figure, the costumes available to transform yourself into the beast are generally not too expensive. This may be the best route to go if you are wishing to dress up but are on a tight budget. Those attending an adult Halloween event find it scary and humorous to dress up as werewolves to frighten the guests. If you plan to be part of a haunted house exhibit, you must consider having a werewolf amongst the scary creatures.
