Still contemplating on what costume you should wear on your upcoming Halloween party? For a change why not go as Ebenezer Scrooge for Halloween. Well, for those of you who are not familiar with this character, let me tell you a thing or two about the Scrooge.

Ebenezer Scrooge is a fictional character from the novel ‘The Christmas Carol’. If you have seen the movie, then by now you may already have an idea on how he looks. You will be surprised to know how popular he is. With the right accessories, make up and attire, your Scrooge costume will easily be recognizable.

Dressing As Scrooge

For the clothes, Ebenezer Scrooge is highly recognized for his night clothes. This is because in the story he is being visited by ghosts at night. So to achieve that look, you have to wear a long night gown (preferably one made from cotton), a long night cap, and slippers. You can search online to see how he looks like so it will be easier for you to dress up like him. You can also try checking out a Halloween costumes store nearby, they may have a pre-made Scrooge costume in their offerings. For the props, since Scrooge is a character from the mid-19th century, it is important that you channel that distinction. So, the use of wooden cane or a shabby candle sitting on an old candle holder will usually do the trick.

Once you have dressed yourself and have prepared the right props, now you have to get in character. Scrooge is known to be a miserable, pessimistic, and a mean spirited old man. So, to complete your look, you should convince people that you are really ‘Scrooge’ (just for the night). You should severely look un-amused, as if you don’t like being around with people, and say ‘blah-humbug’ from time-time and everyone will easily know who you are supposed to be.
