But this is no Halloween costume or a clever make-up trick, it's a way of life for Colombian born Caim Mortis.
The 42-year-old has spent 11 years modifying his body including having his eyeballs tattooed completely black, horn-like dermal implants put into his forehead and forearms and a horn piercing.
As a result of his menacing body overhaul, Caim's devout Catholic family rejected him and he moved from Colombia to Mexico where people are more accepting.
Caim said: "When people first see me their normal reaction is to be shocked or amazed.
"The first thing they ask me is "does it hurt?" or "who did this to you?"
"One of the key motivations for my own body modifications has been to be unique and different compared to others in the world.
"Body modification culture has been around for ages, it is not just a fashion or a temporary fad although people presume it is."
Like Caim, lots of people want to stand out from the crowd, and he helps them in his jobs as a tattoo artists and body painter.
He is also set to launch his new career as a DJ this Halloween and is touring with another DJ, Gisella, who will play the part of an "Angel" to his devil on stage.
Caim said: "I have always been heavily into music, especially Latin styles, Electronic Dance Music and world fusion and I have been training as a DJ for many months.
