Halloween body parts can create extra fun and surprises for children and adults alike, and compliment any Halloween costume from Dracula to Frankenstein.

One need not look far to find great ideas for spare body parts to create the complete Halloween experience. There are more ideas than ever for Halloween accessories to enhance Halloween makeup and horror effects.

Horror Makeup for Halloween Parties

Recreating a Halloween character such as a Vampire or a werewolf need not end with face paint and Halloween outfits, with the addition of prosthetic body parts, the Halloween party can take on a new level of horror. Party Delights and Party Domain stock a whole array of spare body parts to amuse and mesmerise other guests.

Witch’s Noses, False Fingernails & Pointed Ears

Party Delight’s Dementor Child hands would complete any troll or monster look. Similarly, Horror Hands in green or red sport warts and sinewy veins and long black fingernails which would make a great accompaniment with false witch’s nose and pointed ears. With matching face paint, the colour of the nose can be blended to the rest of the face and look more real. Party Domain has a large selection of false fingernails in many colours and lengths, some that glow in the dark.

Fake Animal Body Parts

Party Domain stocks an array of different shaped ears and ear tips, from pixie ears to devil’s ears, werewolves and bat ears. These are merely placed over real ears or on the head via a headband. Spiral devil’s horns and matching teeth serve to give an authentic look, whilst others offer a more comical appearance as they flash in the dark or sport cute fur.

Gory Effects for the Halloween Party

A gory foot, a gory hand and a severed finger, complete with sticking out bones and blood effects, will shock and delight other party guests when dismembered unexpectedly from the body. A Quasimodo face patch will add a disconcerting appearance to any hunchbacked figure. For a more realistic look, the party guest may try out parts made out of prosthetics or latex. Dressing Up Box stock some ghoulish artifacts to really scare the other guests.

Vampire Fangs & Ghoul Teeth

Many teeth effects are available in Party Delights, from Count Dracula fangs to monster teeth. Some sport blood effects as though fresh from a feast, others look more silvery or glow in the dark for a sinister look. If the party guest wishes to create a more realistic look, Dental Distortions might be the answer, stocking realistic looking prosthetic false teeth and fangs for the more serious Halloween party guest.

Scary Halloween False Body Parts

Party guests may have fun and cause frights with ghoulish Halloween props such as false body parts. Witch’s noses, monster hands, bat’s ears and Vampire’s fangs make ideal accessories to compliment other special effects makeup such as scars and warts. Guests may have further fun with ghoulish artifacts such as severed fingers and hands, and under sinister lighting, make a really scary Halloween party.
