Heath Ledger as the Joker
Why so serious?: Heath Ledger
as The Joker in "Dark Knight."


Jokers are wild again this Halloween.

Although Christian Bale was the undisputed star of Dark Knight... who was it that actually got all the attention? You guessed it. The big, bad portrayal of the Joker performed by Heath Ledger in his last epic film appearance.

Then there was Joaquin Phoenix — and the inspiration for millions of more fans who continue to paint the town purple and green at Halloween.

While online costumes stores may selling out on premade costumes this season, you can find do-it-yourself instructions for Joker costume and makeup ideas aplenty around the Web.


Making your own Joker costume

The trick to creating The Joker look? Don't get too serious. Simply print out your favorite Joker photo from the Internet as a guide, then it's on to the Halloween makeup store for some white, blue, and red face paint.

Along the way, stop at the thrift store to scavenge for a vest and red or purple overcoat -- and don't forget the black leather gloves to help create your complete costume.
