What to Wear to SCREAMFEST: Dress for the Zones
Use the zones as your guide. For the Cemetery, go skeleton with Chromatic Skeleton or Ruby Skeleton. For the Circus, try a harlequin or twisted clown or a creepy doll.
The Bunker suits all-black mesh and hooded dresses, and Los Muertos is made for Skeleton & Roses and rose-print bones.

Costumes are strongly encouraged, there are best-dressed prizes, and there's face painting and SFX makeup on site. Mask, prop and bag rules haven't been published, so leave fake weapons at home and check the official site before you go.
Coming as a group? Matching skeletons or a full circus troupe make great group costumes.
