CarnEvil Halloween Costume Ideas

Step right up to the spookiest show in Cabo – El Squid Roe’s Halloween CarnEvil Party! This year, we’re transforming our venue into a freakshow-themed carnival filled with eerie excitement and thrilling fun. If you’re looking for the perfect costume to match our hauntingly fun CarnEvil theme, we’ve got you covered. Check out these five twisted and creative costume ideas that will have you standing out from the crowd! And don't forget, El squid Roe is having their annual costume contest, do you think you have what it takes to win?


Twisted Ringmaster

Take charge of the CarnEvil as a sinister ringmaster. Opt for the classic red-and-black coat for a darker, or more eerie version. Opt for black, red, and gold accents with a high-collared jacket and spooky accessories like skull-topped canes or skeleton gloves. Top it off with a top hat and a twisted grin, and you’ll be ready to run the freakiest show in town.

Creepy Clown

Clowns may seem playful, but at CarnEvil, they’re anything but. Go for a creepy clown look with bold, chaotic face paint, black and white clown costume. Add some fake blood for extra spookiness, and don’t forget the mismatched, oversized shoes. Get creative with accessories like a broken balloon or tattered circus props to fully embody the frightening fun of a CarnEvil clown.

Bearded Lady with a Twist

The Bearded Lady is a classic staple of the freakshow, but you can give it a modern twist for CarnEvil. Dress up in a glamorous gown paired with a realistic, well-groomed beard. Add a spooky element by incorporating ghostly makeup, with pale skin and dark under-eye circles. You can even carry fake razors for a unique touch.

Fortune Teller Gone Wrong

Step into the mystical world of a fortune teller with a sinister twist. Wear flowing robes, draped scarves, and plenty of bangles and rings. Carry a crystal ball that’s seen better days, or a tarot card deck with haunting images. You’ll be a mysterious figure predicting the dark futures of everyone at the party!

Mad Magician

Take the stage as a deranged magician with a dark twist. Wear all black, but add spooky elements like tattered sleeves, blood splatters, and a torn cape. Accessorize with creepy props like a stuffed rabbit with red eyes or a magic wand that looks more like a sinister dagger. Go all out with eerie makeup, giving yourself a pale, ghostly complexion and dark under-eye circles.

Haunted Marionette

Transform into a chilling marionette doll from the freakshow. Wear a doll-like outfit with suspenders, a bow tie, and a painted-on smile. Use body paint to create joints on your knees and elbows, and add creepy face makeup to make your eyes look hollow. Attach strings or make fake wooden bars to simulate the control bars of a marionette, making your movements extra eerie.
