If there was one problem with Halloween costumes it would be that they are just too scary at times. Now, some may consider this a somewhat obtuse criticism. After all, there is nothing wrong with this type of reaction provided that is what the wearer of the costume is looking for. But, not everyone is all that interested in scaring other guests when they show up at a party. Some people wish to look a little elegant in their Halloween presentation. This is where Halloween fancy dress costumes come into play as they add a unique facet to the traditional Halloween costume. But, wanting a costume that embodies these traits and knowing which type of a costume to purchase are two different animals. So, here is a little help understanding which Halloween fancy dress costumes would be considered visually stunning.

One of the most elegant Halloween fancy dress costume ideas comes from costumes that are designed with a Victorian influence. And, yes, there are a lot of costumes that are based on the look of this era. This should come as no surprise since a number of gothic horror novels such as Dracula and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that were born of this era. Then again, there were gothic characters of the era that had their origins in reality such as Jack the Ripper. Because the Victorian era spawned so many gothic figures, fancy dress costumes based on the period have always been popular. Again, these costumes will make the person who wears them look like something special.

Also, some of the "Old West" characters which have gained their merit in history have their own unique an elegant look. While most people think of the cowboy as an old west icon, the classic image of the saloon gambler embodies popular imagery as well. After all, these characters had to look good in order for their claims of swarthiness to be somewhat credible. So, dressing up as a 19th century maverick gambler has an elegant Halloween fancy dress appeal to it.

Then, we could go back even further into the past for some truly fancy looking Halloween costumes. That is, you could step into the vestments of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. While you will not have the ability to rule the free world, you can look as spectacular as the Egyptian rulers of the past. If you do not think that this costume provides a great look then you really need to plug in the DVD of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and check out Yul Bryner's performance as Pharaoh. Granted, it would be doubtful that anyone could match the stunning visual look that this great actor pontificated in the classic film, but it is possible to look truly unique and such a brilliant period piece of Halloween fancy dress costume would be a step in this direction.

While this is by no means a complete list of historical Halloween fancy dress concepts, it does provide a general overview of the type of costumes that one would find most appealing. Hopefully, that will provide much food for thought.
