Halloween Costume Ideas Devil? 102 Most Correct Answers

question

I want to be angry, but I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. What can I do?

Gregory Casamento Community Answer

You can be evil in the broadest sense. Aim for world domination instead of hurting people one by one. The best evil is insidious and appears to be “good.” For example (in DC Comics) Lex Luthor is not evil. In his own opinion, he seeks the good of mankind against the evil “alien” who came from Krypton to enforce his vision of “justice” on our world. From a certain angle, Lex is absolutely right…what if Superman was evil, or maybe from a certain perspective, Superman was evil? Similarly, Darth Vader is another person whose “evil” when put into context makes it seem like he just follows his beliefs. The best “evil” character is an antihero.

devil horns

Customize one of the most important elements of a devil costume – the devil horns. Purchase a plastic headband and a pair of rubber gloves. Grab some cotton balls, red glitter and glue to complete the devil’s horns. Cut two fingers off the rubber gloves and stuff them with cotton balls to make them stiff. Hold them in place to make sure they are the right size before you glue and shine them. Cover the entire fingertip with glue and red glitter. Dry completely. Use hot glue to attach the devil’s horns to the headband. Consider marking where to place the horns with a pencil or permanent marker so they’re glued in the right places. Hold in place until the glue is dry.

Devil’s Pitchfork

Consider several designs for a devil’s pitchfork. Find a large cardboard box or billboard and draw a pitchfork design. Allow kids to paint, color, or cover the pitchfork with glitter. These are quick designs and easy to carry. Another idea for making a devil’s pitchfork is to cut two pieces of red felt into the shape of a pitchfork. Use felt glue to seal the edges, leaving the bottom open. Let the glue dry and stuff the pitchfork with cotton balls. Paint a gift wrap tube, broomstick, or wooden dowel red and stick it in the bottom of the pitchfork. Seal the underside of the felt with the glue. Dust the felt with glitter if desired.

devil tail

Complete the homemade devil costume with a tail. Cut a strip of red felt about 4 inches wide and the desired length of the tail. Fold the felt lengthwise in half and attach the two long edges with felt glue. Let the glue dry and turn the tail inside out. Cut two triangles about 3 inches wide from another piece of red felt. Glue the triangles together over one end of the tail. Straighten a metal hanger and slide it through the tail. This allows the tail to be shaped. Lightly fill the tail with cotton balls if needed. Seal the other end with felt glue and secure it to the devil’s clothing with safety pins.

Every year in October, a controversial question arises: “Should Christians celebrate Halloween?” Without direct references to Halloween in the Bible, resolving the debate can be challenging. How should Christians approach Halloween? Is there a biblical way to celebrate this secular holiday?

Christian Perspectives on Halloween: Treat or Retreat? Christian perspectives on Halloween are sharply divided. Some feel completely free to observe the holiday while others run and hide from it. Many choose to boycott or ignore it, while a number of believers celebrate it through positive and imaginative observances or Christian alternatives to Halloween. Some even take advantage of Halloween evangelistic opportunities.

Historical background

Some of the Halloween-related festivals popular today have pagan roots, going back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. This harvest festival of the druids ushered in the new year and began on the evening of October 31st with the lighting of bonfires and offerings. As the druids danced around the fires, they celebrated the end of summer and the beginning of the season of darkness. It was believed that at this time of year the invisible “gates” between the natural world and the spirit world would open, allowing free movement between the two worlds.

During the 8th century, Pope Gregory III. in the Diocese of Rome changed All Saints’ Day to November 1st and officially made October 31st “All Hallows Eve”. Some say this was the Church’s way of claiming the celebration for Christians. However, this festival commemorating the martyrdom of the saint was celebrated by Christians many centuries before this time. Pope Gregory IV extended the festival to the entire Church. Some pagan practices associated with the season have remained unavoidable and mixed into modern day Halloween celebrations.

What Does the Bible Say About Halloween?

Many Christians believe that attending Halloween is a form of participation in the worthless acts of evil and darkness, which is forbidden in Scripture:

Ephesians 5:7-15

Don’t get involved in the things these people are doing. Once you were filled with darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! Because this light in you only brings forth what is good and right and true. Determine carefully what pleases the Lord. Do not engage in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; Instead, expose them. It is shameful even to speak of the things that ungodly people do in secret. But their evil intentions are exposed when the light shines on them, for the light makes everything visible. That’s why it says, “Awake, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” So watch how you live. (NLT).

On the other hand, many believers view most modern day Halloween activities as harmless fun.

There are those who say that the demonization of Halloween is an attempt by some Christians to distance themselves from the world. Ignoring Halloween or celebrating only with believers is not exactly an evangelical approach. Scripture says that believers should “become all things to all, that by every possible means they may save some” (1 Corinthians 9:22).

Anti-Halloween Christians group the celebration with witchcraft, drawing on verses like this:

Deuteronomy 18:10-12

For example, never sacrifice your son or daughter as a burnt offering. And do not have your people practice divination or sorcery, or allow them to interpret omens, engage in sorcery, cast spells, or act as mediums or psychics, or summon the spirits of the dead. Anyone who does these things is an object of horror and disgust to the Lord. (NLT)

These verses make it clear what a Christian should not do. But how many Christians sacrifice their children as burnt offerings on Halloween? How many summon the spirits of the dead? Many similar Bible verses condemn pagan practices, but none specifically warn against celebrating Halloween.

yes for some no for others

What if you came to the Christian faith from an occult background? What if you practiced some of these dark deeds before becoming a Christian? Perhaps giving up Halloween and its activities is the safest and most appropriate response for you as an individual.

In all likelihood, the Halloween dilemma is a Romans 14 issue or “contentious matter.” These are matters that lack specific scriptural guidance. Ultimately, Christians must decide for themselves and follow the convictions of their own hearts.

Rethink Halloween

Why are we Christians here in this world? Are we here to live in a safe, secure environment, sheltered from the evils of the world, or are we called to reach out into a world full of dangers and be the light of Christ? And how do we reach unbelievers so that they will be drawn to faith in Jesus Christ?

Halloween brings people from all over the world to our doorstep. Halloween brings our neighbors onto the streets. The holiday is a great opportunity to build new relationships and share our faith.

Is it possible that our negativity toward Halloween is just alienating the people we’re trying to reach? Can we be in the world but not of the world?

Solving the question of Halloween

In the light of Scripture, consider carefully the appropriateness of condemning another Christian for celebrating Halloween. We do not know why another person is participating in the holiday or why not. We cannot accurately judge the motivations and intentions of another person’s heart.

Is there no right or wrong answer to the Halloween Dilemma? Perhaps the appropriate Christian response to Halloween is to study the matter for ourselves and follow the convictions of our own hearts. Let others do the same without being judged by us.
