1. **Wendigo**: Dress in tattered clothes with antlers and create a skeletal face effect with white makeup and darkened eyes.
2. **Murdered Bride**: Wear a vintage wedding dress that's torn and stained with fake blood, with a macabre veil obscuring your face.
3. **Flesh-Eating Banshee**: Combine elements of a beautiful yet haunting girl with touches of decay—think flowing attire with exposed "flesh" painted underneath.
4. **The Lady of the Lake**: A ghostly figure with a soaked dress, long hair covering your face, and hints of seaweed and barnacles.
5. **Cursed Fortune Teller**: A mystical look with rags, fake blood, and intense eye makeup; add haunting props like tarot cards or crystal balls smeared with “blood.”
6. **Mad Scientist's Experiment**: Dress as an experiment gone wrong, with lab attire, messy hair, and “wounds” along with test tubes filled with colorful fake liquids.
7. **Dismembered Doll**: Use a vintage doll dress with “missing” limbs—create fake severed arms or legs that hang outside your costume.
