One of the most popular Halloween costume choices is a Disney princess. You see at least one Disney princess costume out and about every single year — but more likely almost all of them, in various forms. There's the classic take on the look, which includes an authentic costume, a wig, and some simple makeup. Then there's the "sexy" version of the princesses, which usually means a shorter dress made to resemble a Disney princess outfit. Both can be really fun, and will always be a Halloween classic. But if you want to dress as a Disney princess and make the look stand out a lot more, you easily can... by turning the princess into a zombie princess. It's creepy, it's perfect for the spooky vibes of the day, and it's really not all that difficult. Making a zombie Disney princess Halloween costume is definitely something you'll want to look into.

To do it, you can buy a standard costume for your princess of choice — they're pretty easy to find. Once you have the costume, get ready to basically destroy it by adding some rips, splattering it with fake blood, and maybe even creating burn marks. The most important part of the look, though, is the makeup. You need to turn your face into something that looks, well, dead... and really creepy. I've put together some Disney princess costumes and have shown you exactly how to zombie-fy them. It will certainly make your costume more unique!

1Ariel From 'The Little Mermaid'

Ariel costumes are always fun, but to make them even more fun, you can turn into a zombie. Get your standard Ariel costume, then add some fake blood and maybe some rips in the tail. What really makes this look authentic, though, is the makeup. The below tutorial shows how to do Ariel zombie makeup, complete with a hook through the mouth.

2Princess Aurora From 'Sleeping Beauty'

Snow White is another really popular Disney princess costume for young women, so make yours stand out by looking, well... dead.
