With Halloween right around the corner, many juggalos are rejoicing. Juggalos, to put it simply, are fans of the Detroit rap duo Insane Clown Posse, best known to the mainstream for their over-the-top murderous clown persona. As such, juggalos have a love of outrageous imagery and costumes, as well as horror-movie style imagery. So Halloween is right up the juggalos alley.

If you count yourself among this unique group, but haven't thought of a Halloween costume yet, there's no need to worry. There are a number of possible Halloween costume ideas for juggalos, and they're easy to get together. Here are five dress-up possibilities for juggalos.

A Juggalo: Juggalos are generally misunderstood by the mainstream public, and they're known for their crazy looks. So you could always just get out your juggalo face paint and be a juggalo!

Many other people use Halloween as an opportunity to dress crazy without a specific costume, so why not you too? You already have all the juggalo face paint and gear you need. You might even get an opportunity to educate people about juggalos if they notice your juggalo face paint and ask about your costume.

ICP themselves: A similar idea would be to dress up as Insane Clown Posse themselves. This time around, you can use your juggalo face paint to imitate one of the juggalo face paint styles they wear onstage.

Besides copying their juggalo face paint, you can style your hair like Shaggy 2 Dope or Violent J from your favorite time period in ICP's career. You get extra credit for rapping your favorite lyrics while in costume.

Boondox: Boondox is one of the Psychopathic Records artists most ripe for a Halloween costume tribute. Boondox is an up-and-comer but already beloved by fans for his crazy image, of a reanimated, murderous avenging scarecrow.

To get the Boondox scarecrow look, one of the most important parts is the clothes. You'll need old farmer-style rags, like a plaid shirt, old jeans, and work boots.

On top of that, Boondox also wears juggalo face paint. The Boondox juggalo face paint design is solid black on plain skin, usually, instead of a white background. Study photos of Boondox to get his juggalo face paint right. Finally, Boondox always wears a black or straw cowboy-style hat.

Blaze Ya Dead Homie: Another Psychopathic Records artist similarly theatrical to Boondox is Blaze Ya Dead Homie, whose persona is that of a reincarnated West Coast gang member. This one is slightly easier because he prefers typical hip-hop style clothing.

What makes him scary-looking is his juggalo face paint, which incorporates a design that looks like black juggalo face paint spilling over a white background. Again, study photos to get it right. He tops this off with a gangster-style backwards hat.

Other horror characters: Of course, your Halloween costume idea doesn't have to be directly juggalo-related. A big part of juggalo culture is a love of horror movies, so think about your own personal favorite horror movies for inspiration.

Try picking characters who don't need many props or special clothing to identify them to make your costume assembly easier. You could also always go for the generic serial killer or victim in a pinch.
