I was given this Headless Horseman costume to review; however, I received no monetary compensation to do so. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own and completely honest.

Headless Horseman Costume Review

 

My oldest son is no longer into cute Halloween costumes or even popular character costumes like the Iron Patriot. Luckily for me, his younger brother still is. Whew. Got to cherish all cute moments because before you know it, they will sadly be gone.

He’s decided his costumes HAVE to be scary. He wants to freak people out! Hopefully, little kids aren’t his prey!! He’s not old enough to go trick or treating alone, though, so I know that’s not the case at least.

Last year for Halloween, he was a Skeleton Zombie. It was right up his alley. He loved it! His costume was even picked as one of the best costumes at a cub scout Halloween event out of 100+ kids. He enjoyed every minute of it.

For Halloween this year, he has decided to be the Headless Horseman. He just thought the idea of other people thinking his head was chopped off was so cool. Kids.

For many people, though, Halloween is a time to have fun and jokingly scare people. So many people throw exciting Halloween theme parties and just enjoy being together.

I look at as a family activity where we can all get together having fun dressing up in our favorite costumes of the season, roast pumpkin seeds, and maybe throw in few cute Halloween crafts. It’s just a fun family day to me!

My son’s Headless Horseman costume turned out pretty well. I had my doubts initially as I was trying to get it on him.

This costume comes with three pieces.

The MaskHeadless Horseman

The first two pieces are the headless mask piece and inflatable shoulders. The headless mask piece fits over the head and has eye holes.

Be careful to make sure the mask is correctly placed over the eyes. I accidentally tried adjusting the mask to center it better, and the plastic rim part hit my son’s eye. I felt so bad, but he was okay.

If the eye holes were a bit bigger that issue wouldn’t have happened.

This Kids Headless Horseman Costume is sure to frighten the neighbors. See what we thought of it here! Click To Tweet

The Shoulders


The inflatable shoulders are there to make your child’s masked head look like it’s in the correct position on the body.

At first, I had a hard time blowing up the shoulder pieces. I went to get my husband to do it, but he was on the phone so long I tried again, and it blew up right away. Strange.

One of the elastic ties that came with my son’s costume came untied when we tried to put the shoulder pieces on. It was easy to tie back in the correct position, though.

My son also complained that the elastic that has to go underneath his arms to keep the shoulders in place bothers him. He totally forgot about this problem once he saw the end result of the costume, thankfully!

The Bodysuit

The last piece of the costume is all connected. There’s a vest with attached sleeves with lace detail, cape, and ascot.

It took a bit of finagling to get it on over those inflatable shoulders, but we did it without tearing anything.

Pretty sturdy fabric because it was a squeeze!
You then Velcro the collar to cover the eye holes from the mask to get the headless look.

The front part of the vest is sheer and can be seen through easily. The lace front helps to hide anyone that’s looking too closely for your son’s eyes.

My son loved the Headless Horseman costume. Despite our hesitation, while getting it on, the end result was fabulous and looked just the way he wanted it to.

However, I think the costume runs a bit small. My son is getting ready to turn 8, so we ordered a medium sizes 8-10.

We felt that the sleeves were too short, as well as the mask being a little too small for him—something to consider if you do decide to purchase this super cool costume.

What will you be for Halloween this year?

      Does Wales not do Halloween? Or is it a personal preference? I’ve never really paid attention what countries celebrate it.

    I live in Australia and up until around 20 years ago you never heard of Halloween it was just not an Aussie thing, now days it is growing in popularity but it is not for me I feel it is not an Aussie thing and it’s just stores trying to make money by introducing it into our country

      Thanks for sharing Jo Anne! I had no idea Australia didn’t really do Halloween. I can see your point about stores just trying to make money off of it. My husband feels that way too about commercial holidays.
