Halloween costume inspiration: Villains and Monsters...

Is Halloween your chance to unleash your evil alter-ego? If so, here's a selection of outfits worn by familiar villains and monsters from the movies to help inspire your costume choice this Halloween season.

Freddy Krueger

Earlier this year the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street reminded everyone of the iconic look sported by Freddy Krueger.

The Joker

Heath Ledger's Joker took Batman's arch-nemesis to a whole new level of scary in The Dark Knight. You can either choose from his signature purple and green wardrobe, or try out his slightly disturbing nurses outfit look, like this Joker impersonator at last year's West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval.

If you're looking for something a little more colourful what about this costume worn by the villainous Fire Lord Ozai from the live-action version of The Last Airbender.

Traditionally Halloween is a time of witches and warlocks, so what about going garbed as the evil magician Horvath from The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Or if you prefer a more Arabian Nights flavour, what about going dressed as the Prince of Persia's evil uncle Nazim.

Maybe the deadly ninja look is what you're after, like this original costume worn by Storm Shadow in the live-action version of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
