Ghost Costumes

How to choose ghost costumes

Decide how much effort you want to put in. A ghost poncho goes on in seconds, while a full gossamer or banshee costume with makeup and ghostly hands takes the look much further. This collection covers both ends.

Pick your ghost

For a friendly, classic sheet look, there are adult ghost ponchos, a ghost print poncho and a kids ghost poncho. For something eerie, women can choose a gossamer ghost, an enchanted ghost, a ghost girl, a jersey ghost, a gothic ghost or a ghostly flapper costume. The banshee ghost comes in adult and kids versions, and there is also a horror ghost nun habit, a ghost pirate and a Scooby-Doo ghost clown costume with mask. The ghost pirate and ghost nun suit a scarier party, while ponchos and the friendly ghost suit younger crowds.

Ghost costumes for kids

Kids can choose a friendly ghost, a fade in and out ghost, an enchanted ghost, the banshee ghost or an inflatable ghost costume. Kids sizes run from Small 4 to 6 to Large 12 to 14 depending on the style. A trick-or-treat bag with a ghost, skull and pumpkin design is a fun extra for the night itself. More ideas for younger trick-or-treaters are in kids Halloween costumes.

Plus sizes and fit

Ghost costumes range from loose ponchos to fitted dresses, so check sizing on each style. Women's sizes in this collection include S/M 2 to 8 and M/L 10 to 14, and plus size options include 1X/2X, 3X/4X, Plus 16 to 20 and 2X 22 to 24W. The gossamer ghost and some ponchos are one size. Check the size chart on each product page, or call 800-618-6053 for help. See plus size Halloween costumes for more.

Finish the look

Pale skin and dark eyes sell a ghost costume. Add the Scary Tales ghost makeup or the glow-in-the-dark ghostly jewels kit, a white ghost doll wig, and latex ghostly bone hands with or without gauze. Masks like the Fantome phantom mask and the ghost skull mask suit a scarier party. Need something fast? Ponchos are also a good fit for last-minute Halloween costumes.
