A creepypasta costume is a Halloween costume based on a horror character that started as an internet story, not a movie or TV monster. We make four of them, Jeff the Killer, Slenderman, Laughing Jack and The Rake, each as an adult and a kids Morphsuit, and the eight suits do not share a size run: adult Jeff has no Medium right now, and kids Laughing Jack stops at 10-12yrs. Below: who each character is, and how gory each print is.

This sits inside our best Halloween costumes guide. Jeff and Laughing Jack each get one line in best Morphsuits for Halloween; this page is the full version. For scary looks that aren't internet legends, see scary Halloween costumes that actually scare and, for younger kids, scary Halloween costumes for kids, or the full Halloween costumes range.

What is a creepypasta costume?

A creepypasta costume dresses you as a character from creepypasta, the genre of horror stories written and shared online rather than filmed or published. The word itself is a 4chan-era mashup of "creepy" and "copypasta" (internet slang for copy-and-pasted text), and the term dates to around 2007 (Wikipedia, Creepypasta). Because these characters started as forum posts and fan art, each one is recognized by a few details: a fixed grin, a blank white head, black-and-white stripes, long claws. A Morphsuit prints those details, face included, on one suit.

Creepypasta costumes compared

Two of the four carry printed blood or claws and two do not, and three of the eight suits have a shorter size run than the rest. Sizes are what each selector offers today.

What the table can't show: The Rake earns about two thirds of our creepypasta revenue on morphsuits.com between late April and late September 2026, nearly three fifths of it from the kids suit. Yet "jeff the killer costume" is our best-ranking search phrase for these characters, at an average position of 5.1 with 105 clicks (90 days to 26 Sep 2026). The character people search for by name is not the one they end up buying.

Jeff the Killer costume

Jeff the Killer is a pale-faced creepypasta character with a wide, fixed grin and long black hair, and one of the two oldest characters on this page, alongside The Rake. The image first appeared online in 2005, with the backstory added in 2008 and wide traction from 2011 (Know Your Meme, Jeff the Killer). Our Morphsuit prints the blood-spattered white top, black lower half and the pale, grinning face straight onto the suit, with a long black wig included, so there's no separate face paint or mask to manage.

Adult Jeff the Killer Morphsuit

The Jeff the Killer Morphsuit live size selector currently offers only Large, XL and XXL, so a Medium adult has no size here right now, whatever the description says. The Morphsuit and the wig come in one pack.

Kids Jeff the Killer Morphsuit

The Kids Jeff the Killer Morphsuit is part of our Urban Legends range, sized by height in Small and Medium (4-6yrs and 7-9yrs live now), with the wig attached, so there is no loose hairpiece to keep on a seven-year-old between houses.

Slenderman costume

Slenderman is the tall, featureless figure in a black suit created on 10 June 2009 for a Something Awful forums Photoshop contest (Wikipedia, Slender Man). It's the least gory look on this list: a blank white head with no printed face, and a suit-and-tie print rather than blood or claws, which is part of why it's the one we'd point a younger trick-or-treater toward first.

Slenderman Costume Morphsuit (adult)

The Slenderman Costume Morphsuit runs Medium to XXL, one suit with a zip closure, sized by body measurement rather than height. Amazon reviewers say it runs small; between sizes, go up.

Kids Slenderman Morphsuit

The Kids Slenderman Morphsuit has the joint-widest kids size range on this page, alongside Kids The Rake, 4-6yrs up to 12-14yrs, with a quick-release hook-and-loop hood so a nervous kid can pull it off fast if the mask feels like too much.

Laughing Jack costume

Laughing Jack is a black-and-white clown character, first appearing in creepypasta circles around 2011: pale skin, a wide painted grin, striped clothing. If your group finds clowns creepier than monsters, this is the pick: the scare comes from the painted grin and the stripes, not from printed blood.

Laughing Jack Costume Morphsuit (adult)

The Laughing Jack Costume Morphsuit runs Medium to XXL. The product description on the page says "one size fits most", but that's stale wording; the live size selector offers all four sizes, so check the selector, not that line, before you order. Includes the suit and an attached wig.

Kids Laughing Jack Morphsuit

The Kids Laughing Jack Morphsuit has a double-ended zip and a detachable hood, so a child can reveal their face between scares. Live sizes run 4-6yrs, 7-9yrs and 10-12yrs; there's no kids XL (12-14yrs) for this one right now.

The Rake costume

The Rake is a gaunt, pale, ribbed creepypasta monster with long claws and a hollow, sharp-toothed face. It was created collectively on 4chan's /b/ board in late 2005, when an anonymous poster opened a thread asking the community to "make a new monster" (Know Your Meme, The Rake); Wikipedia counts it among the earliest creepypastas to come out of that era (Wikipedia, Creepypasta). Like Slenderman, there's no wig; unlike Slenderman's suit and tie, our print puts the whole monster body across the suit, ribs and claws included.

The Rake Costume Morphsuit (adult)

The Rake Costume Morphsuit runs Medium to XXL, one suit, no separate mask. Amazon reviewers rate it 4.3 out of 5 from 607 reviews, praising the fit and the look.

Kids The Rake Morphsuit

The Kids The Rake Morphsuit is the version behind most of our creepypasta revenue, per the split above, with a quick-release hook-and-loop hood and no separate mask or gloves to buy. Sizes run 4-6yrs through 12-14yrs, the same full range as Slenderman.

What's actually in the box

The other creepypasta costume guides we read before writing this one were DIY builds: face paint for Jeff's grin, a wig bought separately, a striped top pieced together for Laughing Jack. A Morphsuit skips that.

  • No face paint, no mess. Whatever the character shows, printed face or featureless head, it's built into the suit, so there's nothing to apply before the party and nothing to scrub off after.
  • One piece. Every design here is a single suit (plus a wig where one's included); no separate top, pants and mask to line up.
  • 91% polyester, 9% elastane, four-way stretch on all eight. Cover-stitched inner seams across all eight too.

One honest note from our own Amazon reviews: seeing out through the hood comes up on all eight listings, and the adult Rake reviews single out the dark. Walk a hallway in the suit before October 31.

Sizing and care

Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks, but a check can't fix a stale product description. Size by the dropdown: adult Jeff the Killer and adult Laughing Jack both carry description text that no longer matches what's sellable. Care is the same across all eight: a cold hand wash and an air dry away from direct heat or sunlight, never the washing machine. If your child has outgrown 12-14yrs, try adult Slenderman, Laughing Jack or The Rake in Medium, or the wider kids Halloween costumes range.

Frequently asked questions

Is Slenderman a real creature?

No. Slenderman is a piece of internet fiction created on 10 June 2009 for a Something Awful forums Photoshop contest.

Are creepypasta costumes okay for younger kids?

It depends on the character, not just the age on the size chart. Our Slenderman kids costume starts at 4-6yrs and has no printed blood or gore, so it's the gentlest of the four. Jeff the Killer and The Rake both carry a more intense printed look, so we'd size those toward the older end of a group of trick-or-treaters, or let a younger child pick a different character from this page.

Are these creepypasta costumes true to size?

Trust each product's live dropdown over its description before ordering: the Jeff the Killer adult and Laughing Jack adult listings currently carry sizing copy that doesn't match what's actually sellable. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks, and if you're between two sizes, we recommend sizing up; Amazon reviewers note the adult Slenderman runs small.

Can adults and kids wear the same creepypasta character?

Mostly, but check the live size range first: all four characters come in both an adult and a kids version, though the adult Jeff the Killer currently sells only in Large through XXL, and the kids Laughing Jack tops out at 10-12yrs, no XL. Adult Slenderman, Laughing Jack and The Rake all run Medium to XXL; kids Slenderman and The Rake both run the widest kids range, 4-6yrs to 12-14yrs.

Which creepypasta costume sells the most?

The Rake earns about two thirds of our creepypasta revenue on morphsuits.com, nearly three fifths of it from the kids suit. That's despite "jeff the killer costume" being our best-ranking search phrase for these characters, so the character people search for by name isn't the one they end up buying.
