Scream 4
It's dark. There are no lights in the house, and something's creaking from just beyond the basement. You grab a knife and make your way down the hallway, but before you can investigate the noise...
SCREAM!
It's a scenario that's plagued the nightmares of an entire generation. Originally a one-time slasher flick, the Scream movies have morphed into a franchise as infamous as it is terrifying. There are games, rides, mens Halloween costumes, even haunted houses based around the scares within its universe. One look at the killer Ghostface and audiences are instantly brought back to the dread they felt the first time he held up a knife - even if it was over a decade ago.
Scream 4 takes advantage of this fear. Set ten years after the original film, it stars Neve Campbell as the now-grown Sidney Prescott, returning to the town that changed her life forever. Of course, nothing is ever that simple.
Because Ghostface is back too.
If you're looking for mens Halloween costumes, Ghostface is one of the classics. A strange, ghastly figure, he makes for chilling visions and even better Halloween outfits. Because what horror movie icon is more famous than his face? What other boogieman employs something as terrifying - as iconic - as a mask that will literally make you scream?
A Scream costume is simple, effective, and time-tested to be frightening. Other killers have faded into obscurity; Sidney Prescotts have come and gone. Ghostface is something different all together. Not only does he make for great Halloween outfits, but he's legitimately scary, a creature that doesn't rely on gimmicks or screechy music to frighten his victims. When Ghostface makes an entrance, you know someone's about to die.
When Ghostface is coming for you, you know it.
The right Scream costume will also inspire nostalgia as well as terror. Everyone remembers the original trilogy, after all - and the new visions from Scream 4 are even bigger and better than their predecessors. Halloween outfits are just the beginning. There are things in Scream 4 that will prey on your darkest fears in a way few movies ever have.
Why wouldn't you want a Scream costume to reflect that on the scariest night of the year?
Make your face a Ghostface and you'll never to worry about trick-or-treaters again. One look at your mask and it will trigger long-held memories of a different time - a time when all it took was a phone call to stiffen your spine and change your nightmares forever.
If you're looking for great mens Halloween costumes, try something from Scream 4.
Just make sure you sleep with the lights on.
