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.

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.

There are many Fallen Angel costumes available out there that usually look like the Grim Reaper or some sort of dark angel.  But probably the most famous fallen angel is the Devil.  Like the other fallen angel costumes, there are many variations of Devil Halloween Costumes.

There are many fallen angels in theology.  Most often we hear about Satan in christian belief.  And sometimes we hear of Lucifer, who’s name is often references synonymously with the Devil.  However the word Lucifer never once refers to Satan in the Bible, it is only in writings like poems by John Milton.
