Coolest Homemade Headless Horseman Costume

This Homemade Headless Horseman Costume was made after 2 hours of looking around and driving around shops. I was aware my son wanted something different this year and was going through obvious possibilities and trying to think of each year in turn. We both play World Of Warcraft and all I wanted was to go home and play and that’s how I came up with this idea.

In the end $20 petrol later and 5 shops in different areas we ended up at Coles supermarket to buy a Pumpkin. As Australia is only just getting into Halloween I knew it was going to be unique. We went home, carved the Pumpkin face after hollowing it out, then while it was drying found accessories to wear with it to create the Headless Horseman. A hooded jumper, a cape and a sword. We put eye holes in the jumper, then put his head inside the jumper,the pumpkin in the hood and when he spoke he had to pull the head to the side. It came up quite well and certainly got the comments.

If he wanted to add a horse to the look he had the choice of he’s bike or the skateboard which would have given off a gliding ghostly look.
