With his tentacle-like tongue, razor-sharp teeth and trail of saliva, Venom is well-suited for Halloween scares. However, Marvel's fan-favorite symbiote can be a tough costume to pull off for all but the most skilled cosplayers. But thanks to a well-timed Throwback Thursday post, we get a look at an impressively scary Venom that you can put together in plenty of time for trick-or-treat.

Talented makeup artist and cosplayer Lex (aka MadeULook) transformed herself into the Marvel villain/antihero using nothing but makeup (of course); she utilizes her chin, jaw and neck for Venom's signature gaping maw and tongue. Sure, it may seem a bit above your skill set, but Lex also offers a step-by-step tutorial.
