If you'd like to dress up as a devil this Halloween, there are both traditional and creative costumes you could choose from. If you're short on time and money, you can make a quick, easy and cheap devil costume with ordinary materials. If you're looking to stun your friends or family, you could spend more time and money on an elaborate and unique costume. Here are a few ideas for devil costumes that you can make as sexy, funny or scary as you want them to be.

Red Devil Halloween Costume and Accessories

To make a women's red devil Halloween costume, find a long red dress with no sleeves or sheer sleeves. Alternatively, you could wear a red pantsuit for your red devil Halloween costume. Get a prop pitchfork. Sew two red cloth horns and attach them to a red headband with hot glue. To make a sexy women's red devil costume, wear a short red skirt or tight long red pants and a red halter top. Finish your women's red devil costume with high heeled boots, sandals or pumps.

To make a men's red devil Halloween costume, find a bright red jumpsuit or matching shirt and pants. Add a long red trenchcoat or cape, red or black shoes and a prop pitchfork. Read this devil costume horn article to find out how to make the horns from Sculpey polymer clay.

You can make your men's devil Halloween costume sexier by wearing red briefs or swim trunks, a short red cape and red sandals.

Heavenly Devil Halloween Costume and Accessories

The heavenly devil costume is a great costume for women to wear at Halloween. Find two cheap short dresses, one red and one black. If you prefer, you could also find a red dress and a white halter top. Cut the red dress at a diagonal angle just above the waist, then cut the edge again to make it jagged. Sew or hot glue the lower part of the red dress to the white dress or halter top. Bend two wire coat hangers into the shape of angel wings.

Stretch a pair of red sheer panty hose over one of the wire wings. Cover the other wing with white panty hose. Get two cheap feather boas, one in red and one in white. Hot glue each feather boa to the top edge of the heavenly devil wing of the same color. Form some red metallic chenille stems into a circle to make a heavenly devil halo. Attach the halo to a red headband with craft wire. Another way to make the halo is to attach a white feathered ring to a pair of red devil horns. Buy a prop devil's tail and attach it to the back of the skirt a few inches below the waist. You can also make your own devil's tail from wire and fabric using this tutorial from the DoItYourself.com website.

Handsome Devil Halloween Costume and Accessories

To make a Victorian handsome devil Halloween costume, start with a black shirt, a pair of black pants and black loafers or dress shoes. Wear a red vest and a red cape or a black cape with a red lining. Wear a red tie or Victorian ascot cravat and carry a black walking cane. Make a pair of devil horns to wear on your head. Paint them red for a more devilish effect.

To make a Gothic handsome devil Halloween costume, get a long red frock coat to go over your black shirt and pants. Attach some red lace at the sleeves and get a red lace jabot to wear at the neck. Tie a satin cravat at the top of the jabot. Put a short black cape with a tall collar over the frock coat. Add accessories such as a red satin cummerbund and a walking cane. Add a pair of devil horns as in the Victorian handsome devil costume.

To make a scary handsome devil Halloween costume, add a pitchfork instead of a cane and paint a little fake blood at the corner of your mouth.

Devil Pimp Halloween Costume and Accessories

The devil pimp is a funny Halloween costume that's sure to get you a laugh. Find a red velvet jacket and pants. Add some tacky trim in a print such as zebra, leopard or tiger. To attach the trim easily, just measure the lapels, cuffs and pockets of the pimp suit, then hot glue it directly onto the suit. For an easier and cheaper devil pimp costume, you could put on a red jacket and pants over an animal print shirt. Add a red pimp hat with a wide brim. Attach two red devil horns to the hat. Add some bling to your devil pimp costume, such as a pitchfork or devil horns made with red rhinestones on a gold chain. To make the devil pimp costume funnier, get an extra long pimp coat with gigantic lapels, pants with huge bell bottom cuffs and get your costume accessories such as the pimp hat and bling in an extremely large size.
