Zombie Doctor wants braaaains. Why else would he be masquerading as a Doctor? Give him what he wants or face the consequences. This scary costume will not help those with iatrophobia, but it will sure help you kick up a scream no matter where it is you choose to show off your gruesome and realistic new look. This outfit is available in child, teen and adult sizes, so no matter your age, you can be part of the apocalypse. A jumbo syringe is the perfect accompaniment to such a get up; get the blood your zombie mouth craves with little effort.

If the rock star lifestyle is more your thing, then take to the stage with our creepy Zombie Rocker fancy dress costume. You’re sure to have fans screaming in this outfit! Don’t forget to continue the flesh-eaten look with these skeleton hand gloves, and some garish congealing fake blood. And don’t forget to style yourself right down to your eyes, with these creepy Block White contact lenses. You’ll be the scariest, hottest rock star this side of the apocalypse.

Of course, we offer the traditional, scare your socks off and wet yourself kind of scary zombie costumes. Not that the others won’t, but once you witness our unique and original outfits that offer you a normal zombie look, you will wonder why the apocalypse has not happened if it meant everyone would look so good! (The fact that Umbrella is a fictional corporation and Alice Abernathy is- unfortunately- not a real person may have something to do with all of that, but whatever.)

To complete any undead outfit, we have the best quality contact lenses you will get your hands on. A dash of fake blood, a pair of our contacts, some shredded jeans, a groan and slow walk that could rival Michael Jackson’s in Thriller and you will learn that a zombie isn’t just for Halloween, but for life.

Kicking our fabulous outfits off is our one of a kind and highly affordable Alien Lord Costume, that comes with the robe, mask, and hands. Feeling that extra terrestrial vibe? Let others know how you feel with this outfit. You’ll be wanting to tell everyone where you got such an awesome costume, and we sure won’t want to stop you! This costume can be bettered, believe it or not, with any one of our amazing, light up space guns. Battle the enemy, or be the enemy!

If you’re one for the little less flashy, but still with the heart of a Fancy Dress fanatic, why not try our amazing little alien antennae? These light up lovelies will finish off any alien’s wardrobe with the perfect, spacey, pulsing lights. It’s like having a UFO on your head, or the perfect things to “phone home.” If that’s still not your thing, we have wonderful novelty flashing aliens, that come on a bit of matching rope, to adorn your neck and light your path through the woods to that spaceship you’re sure has just landed in your back yard!

There is also another antennae option, the gruesome and amazing light up alien eyes. Whatever your little aliens are like, find them the perfect accessories in our alien headband with multicoloured light up display. They’re the perfect party addition, adding fun and funk to absolutely any outfit. Your child can turn themselves from an everyday person to an alien with the simplest of headbands. If you’ve just bought them a Men In Black like outfit, they can put these things on and be an alien, working to eradicate the aliens! Jazz up any outfit with a simple headband, you won’t regret such an affordable and high quality purchase, I guarantee it.

Our alien costume, with a purple robe, will have you looking like the King of Extra Terrific Terrestrials. Will you come in peace? Or will you be leaving crop circles and probing the cows? That decision is up to you; but no matter what you do, you’re going to do it looking wonderful in our fantastic and unique outfit. Once again, why not add a little extra with a super awesome space gun; let the earthlings know who’s boss and pulverise those puny humans!
