Nick Goode from Fear Street 1978

Nick Goode (played by Ted Sutherland in the 1978 installation) is a counselor at Camp Nightwing. He’s fond of Ziggy Berman. More fond than a counselor should be. That all goes out the window when another camper goes on a rampage and starts targeting kids from Shadyside. Kids like Ziggy. Nick tries to keep her safe, but he’s not as innocent as he may seem.

There are two ways to get Nick Goode’s look. Both looks use a pair of tight jeans, classic sneakers, and a short dark wig. One look pairs all that with a baseball-style shirt in red and white while the other uses a Camp Nightwing counselor’s shirt.
