devil costume

Pitchfork and horns

A devil costume is an outfit mimicking the traditional appearance of the devil—typically red clothing, horns, a pointed tail, and often a pitchfork.

It's a Halloween staple and common at costume parties: The kids dressed up as angels and devils.

The costume draws on medieval Christian imagery of Satan rather than biblical descriptions.
