- 1). Get together black pants, black socks, black shoes, black gloves and a black long-sleeved shirt or T-shirt. All-black is a must for this costume.
- 2). Find a hooded robe to get the right look your Reaper costume. Look for a loose-fitting robe with long sleeves, since the Grim Reaper wears flowing, loose garb.
- 3). Get a scythe, your major prop. The scythe differentiates the Grim Reaper from other ghouls and ghosts. Look for one at a Halloween costume store, or make your own from a broom handle and duct tape, shaping the tape into a curved blade.
- 4). Find a skeleton face mask, also at a Halloween store. Alternately, paint your face white using face paint. The face is less important, since you are hooded.

Put on your all-black clothes, shoes and gloves, and then pull on your robe. Tie the robe using thick rope, or a black robe tie. Put on your mask or paint your face and you're ready to reap.
