Diadem hammer in head

For a Halloween evening, a horror-themed party, or a spooky costume gathering, you can slip it onto your head in one go: the hammer-through-the-head headband is a black headband with a replica hammer that appears to have been driven straight through your skull. The hammerhead is silver-grey with red blood splatters, and the handle is dark brown with a ribbed grip. Women and men can wear it with almost any spooky costume.

Features of the hammer-through-the-head headband

• The headband is thin and black, making it almost invisible in dark hair and giving the appearance that the hammer is floating freely above your head.
• The hammerhead is painted silver-grey and features a claw on the back, just like a real claw hammer.
• Red blood splatters run from the head down the claw towards your hair.
• The handle is dark brown with a ribbed grip and extends diagonally upwards.
• The prop is designed for women and men and is supplied by Wicked Costumes.

Why choose a hammer instead of an axe or knife?

Fake weapons through the head are a classic Halloween staple, as they make it immediately obvious that you are playing a victim. A hammer has a different effect than an axe or knife: the heavy, recognisable head remains clearly visible from a distance and has a cartoonish, almost funny effect, while a blade leans more towards pure horror. Choose this hammer if you want to combine terror with a laugh. Since the entire prop is made of plastic, it weighs very little on your neck.

How to complete the recognisable victim look

Start from the headband and work downwards. Paint a few red lines and scratches around your hairline so that the blood splatters on the hammer continue onto your face. A torn shirt, a crumpled shirt, or a bloody construction worker outfit completes the story, and with some grey makeup, you can create a zombie look. Keep the rest of your clothing simple and dark so that the hammer remains the focal point.
