Halloween Location Looks: 23 of 31 - Nightmare on Elm Street

My month of DIY costumes shot in front of the actual shooting locations continues!! Day 23 is here and it's a Halloween horror classic. Today’s costume comes from:

Nightmare on Elm Street - title card

I feel like I catch this movie each year during all the Halloween marathons on TV.

Nightmare on Elm Street - Freddy Krueger

So, the actual house from the movie is totally in my hood! It looked like this...

..and like this in the movie...

...but in real life, how lovely is this house!! Movie house = nightmares. IRL House = dreamy.

But, the best part of this movie...JOHNNY DEPP!! Love the horror movie starts for celebs. (Hello Jennifer Aniston in Leprechaun!!)

So, to complete a Freddy costume from Nightmare on Elm Street, here are the main elements you'll need:

Nightmare on Elm Street - Freddy Krueger

1. Sweater (I found my shirt at Goodwill, but here's a spot on replica sweater from Hot Topic.)

2. Glove (I had a "Wolverine" glove that I used but there are Freddy gloves everywhere. Plus the real deal glove scares me to death!)

3. Hat (Mine is vintage, but this style is everywhere.)

I put on my thrifted striped top, grabbed my plastic glove, and donned my hat for the easiest DIY costume to create.

This to me was one of the scariest things I saw when I was a kid.

As much as I've matured, if someone wore this and creeped up on me, I'd still lose it! I get scared over everything.
