Every Halloween when you go to costume parties or are out and about trick or treating, you see all of these cute little costumes. Fairies, and ladybugs, cartoon characters and super heros. But personally I like the darker side of the holiday like goblins, zombies or vampires.  So forget about the sickly sweet, cute and cuddly outfits for a moment and lets get back to the origin of Halloween and the dark and ominous costumes. Take for instances Black Angel Costumes. This is a general character that anyone can dress up as.

The great thing about this type of character is that you can pretty much make up your own story. You can be in a fallen angel costume where you drop from the heavens and are here to wreak havoc on all man kind. You can use your seductive powers to woo men into a life of sin. Or maybe you are the bring of death and all must beware as if you are scorned you can smite them with you angelic powers.

I like the indirect reference to the darker side of things with this type of outfit. You can add some bloody make up and rotting flesh to go gory or you can do some charcoal eye shadow and some white fact paint to give you a ghostly yet elegant look to black angel costumes.

Sizes of black angel costumes

There are variations for kids or adults, you can find plus sizes and petite. You can even find some outfits for boys and men. I prefer the costumes for adults over those for the children in this type of character, but there really are some great ones for kids.

All angels come in different sizes, so of course the costumes must also vary in size. If you are looking for a Halloween costume for yourself or for a child, you can find just the right sized black angel costumes here.

There are several designs from which you can choose no mater if you are looking for adult or children costumes or for men or women. Accessorize it to suit the level of gore and fright you want to achieve.

If you are looking to go to a Halloween party, or really any costume party, as a couple then I might suggest that you try to match up.  You can both go in black angel costumes or you can switch it up a little.  Perhaps one of you dresses up like the grim reaper.

Black angel wings are great accessories not only for Halloween, but for many other types of themed parties.  They are very versatile and can be added to different costumes to modify them.

For the Angel with a little devil in her, the black angel wings can enhance her bad girl image.  You don’t have to do much more than do some cool make-up and hair in combination with a little black dress and add the wings.  And Poof!  you are a dark angel.

There are various levels of quality and structure of black angel wings.  You can find some in a formed velvet that hug your back.  This keeps things simple.  You don’t have feathers all over the place and the wings to get caught on things.

There are deluxe wings that strap on and the feathers span out to about shoulder width.  This is a great size because you can get in and out of the car pretty easily and walk through the door of the party without turning sideways!

You can turn up the sexiness of the costume with a black petticoat skirt and some hot black shoes.  And of course don’t forget your halo to go with the black angel wings!

These accessories are great for children or adults.  The kids look adorable in the wings and an adult can modify their costume to what ever their level of conservativeness is. You can really adapt them to any situation.

Size is no issue really because they are all one size fits all.  You do need to keep in mind if you are going to be in the car or sitting very often.  Or even if you are going to be in a crowded bar on Halloween.  Most of the wings are small enough that you wont get in to a jam, but some of the black angel wings are pretty big.  So, when you are shopping, be sure to check the over all dimensions to see if they will work for your evening being a dark angel.

Here is a fantastic video that references black angels:

If you have a child that has a Gothic flair to them, they don’t want to be a cute cuddly creature for Halloween, they want dark and ominous like the video above. There just seems to be an interesting juxtaposition between the innocence of the angel and the darkness and foreboding of the theme. Rather like being a teenager I guess.

There is acatually a film called Black Angel and it is based on the book by Cornell Woolrich. There is just something about the golden era films of the 40s that I like. It is an ok movie, but it really is just the title that relates to this black angel wings post, the topic of the movie, although it is a film noir, is not related.
