To a lot of people, Halloween is synonymous with two things- 'pumpkins head' and 'death costume'. The grim reaper costume or the death costume as it is more ordinarily known is a very easy manufacture and yet it draws a great deal of attention. The grim reaper is supposed to be a skeletal outline clothed in a black, hooded cloak, carrying a scythe, or a sickle in some cases. It is supposed to be a personification of 'death'. The element of eeriness that this notion and likewise the costume carries, is what makes it so provocative and fun. The idea of a personified 'death' is not new- it has existed in societies for centuries and more recently, the grim reaper has been manufacture appearances on television and in popular culture regularly, in shows like 'family guy', known by his more ordinarily recognized name 'death'.
The origin of the name 'grim reaper', by most accounts is a succeed of the agricultural significance way back in history. The harvest signaled an end of the growing season and was a precursor to winter; and this harvest had to be done with a sickle. This whole process was metaphorical to 'life' and 'death' and thus got incorporated into the notion of death, personified.

Any long, black robe can make your basic costume - try getting one with a hood, else add a hood yourself. A bedsheet, painted black, makes for the excellent input; with a few adjustments, you will have a hooded black robe, with even the dangling sleeves. As for footwear, you don't need any, because the grim reaper is supposed to float along and not walk in steps. If you authentically need footwear, go for a longer cloak so that it conceals your footwear. It is also needful to get a skeleton mask that that is to be worn inside the cloak. But if you want no shopping, you can simply paint a skeleton onto your face. Of course, don't forget your skeleton gloves. The next part of the costume is the sickle or the scythe. The scythe is easier to make, though both the sickle and scythe are authentically available in any store as a part of the grim reaper accessories. The scythe can be made by taking a stick of the right size, and cutting the blade part out of cardboard and fixing it suitably. Since the whole setup must be painted black anyway, details don't matter so much, as long as the basic shape is maintained.
Some people might have a negative association with the grim reaper costume but that can change- it must be borne in mind that in most cultures, death is seen as an safe bet outcome and therefore the personified version is looked upon as god.
