Carbon Costume

The Point Man (with motion capture by Ron Hippe) is the playable protagonist of the F.E.A.R. video game series.  The son of Alma Wade and the brother of Paxton Fettel, Point Man has served in the Army since the age of 17 and is eventually assigned to the First Account Assault Recon special forces detachment.  In the third installment of the series, Point Man undergoes a bit of a makeover, revealing long, dark hair.  He also wears a green shirt with a duct tape “P-1” patch on it, as well as sturdy tactical pants and boots.

Big Jack Horner (voice by John Mulaney) is the primary antagonist of the animated film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.  Formerly Little Jack Horner, he is a crime lord and pastry chef with a grudge, intent on harvesting all the world’s magic.  Big Jack Horner has short pink hair and wears a purple overcoat and vest, as well as a pink tie.  He finishes his outfit with brown pants and black boots.  Jack has a stain on his right thumb from pushing it into pies.  You can recreate this effect with some lip stain to tinge your thumb a berry color.

Patricia “Patty” Thompson (voiced by Narumi Takihira in Japanese and Cherami Leigh in English) is the younger sister of Liz Thompson and the weapon partner of Death the Kid in the anime and manga series Soul Eater.  Patty is shorter than her elder sister, with brighter blonde hair which she wears in a bob haircut with bangs.  Her outfit is similar to her sister’s, though a bit more revealing, swapping out Liz’s long jeans for a pair of shorts instead.

Kakihara (played by Tadanobu Asano) is the sadistic yakuza enforcer who meets his match in Ichi the Killer.  Kakihara has distinctive scars on his face, which you’ll need molding wax to replicate.  He wears a couple of outlandish outfits throughout the film, though the embellished shirt and iridescent pants he wears in his final showdown with Ichi is certainly one of the most striking.  To recreate his costume, you may need to be a little flexible, as finding a holographic purple suit and sequin-embellished dress shirt can be difficult.  A rose-gold button-down with a shimmery gold floral pattern will fill in nicely, and you can either choose to focus on the colors of Kakihara’s suit or the holographic quality, depending on your preference.

Count Dracula (played by Nicolas Cage) is the centuries-old vampire who keeps the titular R.M. Renfield in his employ in the horror comedy Renfield.  Renfield has been the Count’s familiar for centuries, helping the intimidating vampire secure food and achieve his full power.  All is well and good until Renfield decides he’s had enough.  Count Dracula’s attire in the film varies, but you can always bet he’s wearing something snazzy and a little over the top.  Two of his best looks include a red velvet suit with a golden brooch instead of a tie, as well as an all-black ensemble that includes a fur-trimmed coat and a cane.  No matter which look you choose, you’ll need white makeup and blue lipstick to achieve a truly undead look.  Accessorize with long nails, terrifying teeth, and plenty of oversized rings.

Perry (played by Jeffrey Pierce who portrayed Tommy in the original video game) is a character from HBO’s The Last of Us.  He is Kathleen‘s second in command in the uprising against Fedra in Kansas City.  Perry has long grey hair and a well-kept beard, and dresses in paramilitary garb, making him a perfectly suited lieutenant as Kathleen searches for Henry.  Recreating Perry’s look will require you to stock up on your tactical supplies.  Perry wears black pants and a well-worn green shirt, over which he dons a black tactical vest and belt.  He also wears heavy-duty boots and black gloves.

Elmer Fudd is an accident-prone hunter from the original Looney Tunes show.  He is an enemy of Bugs Bunny, determined to track down the rascally rodent during rabbit season, but ultimately, Bugs outsmarts him every time.  Elmer’s outfit has had some tweaks over the years, but his overall aesthetic remains the same:  a brown hunting outfit including a hat with red detailing, brown shoes, and a rifle perfect for taking down pesky rabbits.  To recreate his look, you can use some red fabric paint on the inside of your hat’s earflaps.

Belle Bottom (voiced by Taraji P. Henson) is the disco-themed supervillain in Minions: Rise of Gru.  Belle is a member of the Vicious 6, which a young Gru desperately wishes to be part of.  However, she dashes his dreams when she tells him that villainy is for adults and not children, which leads him to steal the Zodiac Stone from her.  Belle’s costume is a throwback to the ’70s, with a purple jumpsuit and platform shoes, a big afro hairstyle, and gold jewelry.  Finding her long purple leopard print coat with bright pink trim is almost impossible, so don’t be afraid to find a robe or coat that evokes a similar feel even if it isn’t a perfect match.
