Captain Hook Is A Great Villainous Character For Fancy Dress

If you fancy dressing up as a pirate for Halloween or indeed any fancy dress event, then why not go for the most villainous and feared pirate of them all, Captain James Hook. Captain Hook is, and will always remain, the arch-enemy of our favourite fictional little boy who never grows up, Peter Pan. In a Captain Hook Costume you can brandish your hook and frighten off your friends and neighbours.

Captain Hook was the pirate captain of the Jolly Roger and lord of the pirate village and harbour in Neverland where he is greatly feared. He is remembered for his hook that replaces a hand. Do you know how Captain Hook got his famous iron hook hand? The truth is that his hand was cut off by Peter Pan and then fed to a crocodile. The crocodile really enjoyed that hand – so much so that he then followed Captain Hook around. The crocodile couldn’t wait to get hold of some more tasty flesh. Thankfully for Hook, he could always tell when the crocodile was nearby because of the sound of a ticking clock that the crocodile had swallowed.

In the book, Captain Hook takes Wendy prisoner and then challenges Peter Pan to a duel. Captain Hook was beaten by Peter Pan who then threw him overboard to the crocodile who was eagerly waiting. Thus ended the evil reign of Hook or did it? Actually, the readers of Barrie’s novel really loved the character of Captain Hook and so he resurrected him in the sequels.

To be the villainous Captain Hook, you have to look and act like him. In J M Barrie’s novel, “Peter and Wendy”, he described Hook as having long dark curly hair that looked from a distance like black candles and blue eyes. He wore a red, black or blue coat, knee breeches and a feathered hat. He looked elegant and rather handsome.

So, if you want to be a villainous pirate like Captain Hook then you have to look and act the part. To get an authentic Hook look then you should wear a coat or long coat, pantaloons or trousers tucked into boots, a frilly cravat and feathered hat. Of course, you simply must have a hook over one of your hands and preferably a long black and curly wig. To act the part then you need to swagger around with your hook and sword speaking with an English accent. Unlike most pirates who were poor and uneducated, Hook would have been eloquent and well-spoken.

There are some pretty amazing costumes around for both kids and adults so make sure you take a look at our Captain Hook Costume page to see the range available. At the same time why not take a look at some of the other Peter Pan costumes.
