Carbon Costume

Mrs. Doyle (portrayed by Pauline McLynn) is the dowdy housekeeper from the comedy series Father Ted.  She works for the titular Father Ted Crilly, Father Jack Hackett, and Father Dougal McGuire.  Mrs. Doyle has messy hair and wears modest clothing.  To create your costume, you’ll need dark pantyhose, oxford shoes, and a brown midi-length skirt.  Pair this with a floral blouse that includes a tie feature at the collar.  Mrs. Doyle also wears smocks over her clothes as part of her houskeeping attire, so choose one in a neutral color and complete your costume with a cozy oversized cardigan.

Mackenzie Carpenter (played by Leighton Meester) is the protagonist of the horror movie Drive Thru.  Mackenzie and her friends are targeted by a demonic mascot, Horny the Clown.  Her style is true to the time the film was made, relying on the punk/emo aesthetic of the early 2000s.  Mackenzie wears several different outfits throughout the movie, but two of the most memorable are worn while she’s chased by the killer mascot.  To create your costume, start with eyeliner, black nail polish, and a thick black leather cuff watch.  Then, choose which outfit to recreate.  Earlier in the film, Mackenzie wears low rise grey jeans, a skull print tee, and a black zip up hoodie with white graphics.  Later, she wears black combat boots, wide leg camo pants, and a burgundy tank top.

Schrodinger (voiced by Ryoko Shiraishi and Laura Bailey) is a major antagonist in the anime series Hellsing, which means he is often at odds with the vampire Alucard.  He is often playful and teasing werecat, but that does not diminish his cruelty.  Schrodinger wears a Nazi youth uniform, which you can recreate with a short sleeved yellow button down, long black shorts, and knee high socks.  Add some accessories including a black tie, white gloves, a black belt, and a white and red striped arm band, and a leather strap over your right shoulder.  Finish your look with a blonde wig and animal ear headband.

Father Jack Hackett (played by Frank Kelly) is one of the trio of bad priests banished to Craggy Island in the British television series Father Ted.  Father Jack is an alcoholic and tends to be very rude, often more antagonistic than his fellow priests Father Ted Crilly and Father Dougal McGuire.  As is sometimes the case, the accessories are really what will make your Father Jack costume work.  Start with a black shirt and tab collar, and a black suit to match.  Then, you’ll want a balding wig that you can style to be as wildly disheveled as possible.  Use a makeup sponge and a cream makeup stick to add red blotches to your face, and then complete your outfit with a cane and a fake cigarette.

Keenan Crier (voiced by Rie Kugimiya and Brianne Siddall) is a supporting character in the anime series Digimon Data Squad.  He is a member of DATS alongside Marcus Damon, Thomas N. Norstein, and Yoshi Fujieda.  Keenan has dark blue hair and wears light blue paint on his cheeks.  To begin your costume, you’ll need orange shorts and a pale yellow tank top.  Add a belt at the waist and a green cloak over top.  Accessorize with a feather necklace, brown forearms sleeves, and baggy leg warmers.  Complete your look with brown sandals and a midnight blue wig.  Use red thread to wrap one lock of the wig to frame the right side of your face.

Rob (voiced by Charles Philipp) is a character from the animated series The Amazing World of Gumball.  Rob is a cyclops and the arch nemesis of Gumball Watterson.  Rob is a cyclops with blue skin.  To create your costume, start with a blue bodysuit and add your clothes – a yello shirt, red shorts, and brown shoes – over top.  You’ll also want to wear pink gloves.  Then, add your wig and backpack.  To create the large single eye, use an oversized googly eye and attach it to a blue face mask.  This way, you can wear the mask over your face but move it comfortably out of the way as needed.

Orpheus (originated on Broadway by Reeve Carney) is one half of the tragic love story at the heart of the musical Hadestown.  The son of a muse, Orpheus is cared for by Hermes while he tries to finish a song to bring back spring.  He falls in love with Eurydice before she is tempted into the underworld by Hades, and he travels to hell to save her.  Orpheus is sensitive and sometimes a little oblivous.  He wears an off white shirt, grey pants, and brown leather suspenders, with black boots and a rust-red handkerchief.  Early in the musical, he also wears an apron.

Father Ted Crilly (played by comedian Dermot Morgan) is the titular character of the comedy series Father Ted.  One of three priests exiled to Craggy Island, Father Ted finds himself living alongside Father Dougal McGuire and Father Jack Hackett as well as their housekeeper, Mrs. Doyle.  Father Ted has grey hair and dark eyebrows.  His usual outfit consists of a black suit and his priest’s collar, though he also favors a cozy grey cardigan upon occasion.
