Best Costumes for a Halloween Masquerade Murder Mystery Party

October 08, 2025

There’s no better excuse to dress to kill than a masquerade murder mystery halloween costume party. Whether you’re solving clues or secretly hiding the murder weapon, your outfit can make you the talk of the ballroom—or the prime suspect.


Classic Masquerade Glam

A masquerade mask is more than just a fashion statement—it’s your alibi. Pair a feathered or lace mask with a sleek gown or tux, toss in a cape, and you’ve got the perfect blend of mystery and menace. Bonus points if your outfit hides a clue or a secret note tucked into your pocket.

If you’re heading to a halloween murder mystery dinner with The Murder Mystery Co., this look never fails.


The Gothic Guest

Go full drama with black lace, velvet, and a hint of red (for “blood,” of course). Add gloves, a dark choker, and maybe a mysterious stain on your sleeve. Suddenly, everyone’s whispering: what exactly did they do in the library?

Perfect for a candlelit halloween masquerade party or a night of secrets in an old mansion.


The Detective

For those who prefer solving crimes to committing them, a trench coat, fedora, and a notepad will do the trick. Add a half-mask for flair and start interrogating your friends. Think 1940s noir—but with a cocktail in hand.

Want to skip the hosting stress? Find a masquerade murder mystery dinner show near you and let The Murder Mystery Co. set the stage.


The Fortune Teller

A shimmering shawl, flowing skirt, and a deck of tarot cards instantly give you main-character energy. Throw on some gold jewelry and a sparkly mask and start making “predictions.” (Pro tip: predicting the killer earns you serious bragging rights.)


Fallen Angel Vibes

Because every mystery needs a little sin. Go for black wings, smoky eyes, and silver accents. You’ll look heavenly—and suspiciously good doing it.

Did you know we run dinner theater events in 20+ cities across the U.S.? Find a show near you here. Or, if you’re hosting your own night of masks and mayhem, bring in The Murder Mystery Co. to run the show and keep your guests guessing until dessert.


Curtain Call

No matter what character you choose, the key to a great night is committing to the role—and maybe keeping a few secrets up your sleeve. Get ready for laughs, suspense, and more drama than a soap opera in masks.
