Plague Doctor

A Plague On All Their Houses The plague was so intensely serious that for the rest of the time, people didn't even call it by its full name. They just called it "The Plague".

Europe is still feeling the effects of the sickness that decimated the population in waves more than 600 years ago. In Poveglia, Italy people still report a sense of being watched and a feeling of hands scratching at them as soon as they step foot onto the island that, incidentally, was used as an inhumane quarantine.

People hear crying in the old houses where people once perished of the disease. Modern tourists at plague sites sometimes capture souls that are still sticking around, waiting for a cure.

While the black plague might have happened half a thousand years ago, memories of the disease are alive and well. That's why this plague doctor costume is still enough to send shivers down our spines.

Details & Design This high-quality costume brings the paintings of the black plague to living, breathing life. The robe has a capelet layered around the shoulders and gold-tone buttons down the front.

It's peppered with details such as a cross necklace, a black hood, and a pair of black gloves. It's completed with a brimmed hat and a white mask with a long beak.

Pair it with a staff and a lantern to make this plague doctor come to life! (Unfortunately, it doesn't include any medical prowess or ways to dodge the common cold.

Still working on that!) Looking Sick While the horrors of the plague might be concentrated down to a ghostly whisper on Europe's shores, you can bring history to life this Halloween.

This high-quality look is perfect for creeping your friends out at costume parties and nice enough to be worn for homemade horror movies and music videos. Whisper the ghostly tales of the plague and watch as the plague of fear takes hold of the people around you!

So we always thought these weird old bird-shaped masks with the lenses looked pretty cool. After all, who wouldn't want to be a bird?

And then we discovered this is actually a Renaissance-era plague mask that doctors would wear, filling the 'beak' with herbs to supposedly prevent the plague and also to mask the scent of bodies and decay. Because of this, we have determined that this mask is scary and cool.

Which, you know, is perfect for a costume. This Plague Doctor Mask will make you mysterious, cool, and a little terrifying!

It's a win win! The mask is made of polyester foam, printed to look like leather, with clear plastic eye lenses and an adjustable strap.

Now just hobble around with a cane (another plague doctor thing) tapping at people and watch them really freak out. It'll be awesome.
