As Halloween approaches, no doubt you will be on the hunt for an incredible Halloween outfit to wear to the party or on trick or treat night. Just like every other piece of clothing, you would like this costume to be fresh and unusual, for that reason here I will discuss a number of top Halloween costumes for 2011. In this short article we will put the spotlight on the weird or gruesome costumes, such as the headless costume.



Setting to the Headless costume - "Off With His Head"

Queen Elizabeth the 1st was said to utter this phrase when someone she did not like offended her. She was portrayed as a rather whimsical and unpredictable queen and produced these utterances without the slightest thought of the consequences. She was just as likely to annul the order some moments anon.

Whether the Queen was in reality like this is up for discussion as she was an exceedingly successful monarch and quite diplomatic in a period when violence was the very first choice for many.

With this said, one point that's without question is that the execution of the day was beheading. Unlucky fellows would be led up to a gallows to confront a chopping block and one masked, muscular looking curmudgeon picking dirt out of his fingernails with the tip of a huge ax.

With the cheers of a baying crowd, the fellow would be dispatched and his head would roll into a basket. If he was a very significant personality, his head may then be placed on a spike and hung out to dry on some castle rampart or even at the entrance to the town or city.

It was a very horrid time to be living or in the case of the headless costume, the walking dead. The classic headless costume harks back to this point, when a wandering ghost might bring his cut off head about with him.

A conventional headless costume that you can get these days is very ingenious and quite an unusual look.

The outfit consists of an over sized costume that covers the head.

There is a shoulder attachment that fits to your head and shoulders. This is a model of a severed neck, replete with blood oozing from the cut. You position the shoulder attachment about your covered head under the costume. This gives the impression that you're headless. It happens to be a very macabre look which is just right for Halloween.

You can get the typical headless costume or the headless butler and also the headless horsemen from the Sleepy Hollow tale (and film by Tim Burton). You will find these are rather unusual Halloween costumes and will definitely have party goers gasping at the party.

Summary

Have a unforgettable Halloween party togged up in a unique headless costume such as the headless horseman costume. It's a grisly and ghastly look to try at the party and will categorically get you an abundance of attention and remarks.
