2. Bride of Frankenpup Dog Costume
I can still remember the first time that I watched the 1935 movie- Bride of Frankenstein. (Get it- Frankenpup, Frankenstein)! When I first saw Frankenstein’s bride, I thought she was definitely the stuff that nightmares are made of.
- I don’t know how in the world they got Elsa Lanchester (the actress that played the role) to look so hideous because she was absolutely beautiful.
- Luckily, your dog won’t look as hideous, but with this costume, complete with white dress and wig, they will look rather scary.
- Sizes from XS to M
Aren’t the bride and the groom adorable?
3. Dog Deadly Doll Costume

- If you don’t already know, the voice of Chucky was done by actor Brad Dourif.
- This costume features Chucky’s signature overalls with attached shirt and red wig.
- Sizes from S-L

5. Pet Bat Costume
In my opinion, bats are one of the most terrifying mammals on the planet. They are creepy, they are unpredictable, and they are not the cutest animals out there.

- It comes with a black headpiece and black wings.
- Sizes from XS-M
Someone is ready for trick & treat!
6. Pet Raptor Costume
We were all introduced to the world of Velociraptors, or Raptors for short, in the 1993 movie- Jurassic Park. It was the first of 5 movies, so far, in the franchise.
- Your dog will look super-scary in this costume, complete with body costume and hood.

- Sizes from XS to XL, making it a perfect large dog Halloween costume.
8. Spider Pup Costume
Yes, I am sure that you see spider costume here and tarantula costume below. While tarantulas are spiders, they are in a whole other category, if you ask me.
- When it comes to spiders, there are about 3,000 species in the United States.
- This costume features a costume body and a hood.
- Sizes from XS-L
9. Tarantula Dog Costume
Which brings us to the tarantula. Spiders, for the most part, don’t really bother me. However, tarantulas completely creep me out.

10. Zombie Dog Costume
If you watch The Walking Dead television series, then you already know all about zombies, or “walkers” as they are referred to on the show.

One thing to keep in mind about the sizes for these scary Halloween dog costumes: they vary by costume. While most sizes are based on your dog’s neck and chest circumference, others measure from neck to tail, or around the belly. Make sure you read the sizing guide on each costume to ensure a good fit for your pooch.
Also, the majority of HalloweenCostumes.com dog costumes (and people costumes!) can be returned or exchanged if they aren’t a good fit. However, there are a couple of exceptions to this rule. These exceptions are clearly and boldly noted within the descriptions, so make sure you read those.
