Halloween is coming soon. It may not be a native Swedish holiday, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t celebrated in Sweden, and it also doesn’t mean that your Halloween can’t have some Swedish in it! Here are 7 great costumes for a Swedish Freak like you for this Halloween.
Viking Warrior
Nothing says Sweden like a viking! Terrify your friends (or show them how to drink some mead!) with this fun costume. Reminds me of Johan, when he and his sister came down to visit me in Prague for my Halloween party, they were truly Swedish and came as vikings! If you are brave enough to make your own mead (as some Swedes I know did), then bring it along to make your costume even more authentic 🙂 The costume here goes for around $100, but I’m sure you can find a cheaper one.
Viking Princess
We all know that every Viking Warrior must have his princess! I personally am all for being a princess, and I love this Viking princess costume. Did they have princesses back then? I’m going to say yes, since they have them now. Join your warrior with this cool costume!
The Swedish Chef!
Ok, he may be American made, but you can’t get more “Swedish” than the Swedish chef! Just make sure your throw some meatballs around and say ‘Gurdy gurdy gurdy gurrr’. Don’t know who the Swedish Chef is? Shame on you! Watch this video, and then come back and buy this costume!
Pippi Longstocking
Did you not know she was Swedish? Well, she is! This is a great costume for her too. So why not show off the Swedish Freak in you and be Pippi for Halloween!
Of course, as Halloween tradition, this dress was shortened to give you a sexier look. There are more traditional Pippi costumes online if that is your interest though 🙂
Eric Northman of True Blood
Ok, so for this costume you have to have the Swedish look already. If you find yourself blond haired, blue eyed, and gorgeous, dress in black and then throw on some fangs and be Eric Northman for Halloween! An easy enough costume, and deliciously Swedish!
Bjorn and Agnetha From ABBA
So how are you going to make your Halloween a bit Swedish?
