Carbon Costume

Jon (voiced by Eddie Bowley) was one of Edd‘s neighbors on the webtoon series Eddsworld.  Jon lived with Eduardo and Mark and is eventually killed by Tord‘s robot, returning as a ghost in a post-credits scene.  Jon had dark blonde hair pushed toward the front of his head and wore dark grey jeans with grey and white sneakers.  He typically wore a blue button-down over a grey t-shirt.  If you’d like a twist to the original design, dressing as Ghost Jon can be achieved with a little layering of teal clothes over a bodysuit and some creative sad face art skills using fabric markers.

Cameron Poe (played by Nicolas Cage) is the former Army Ranger imprisoned for murder at the heart of 1997’s Con Air. Poe is paroled at the beginning of the film and hitches a ride to be reunited with his wife and the daughter he’s never met on an airplane filled with violent offenders.  When the inmates take over the plane, Poe must outsmart them to help law enforcement, all while protecting the precious stuffed rabbit he’s brought as his first gift to his young daughter.  Poe’s hair is long by the time he is paroled, and once he sheds his prison shirt, he spends most of the film in jeans and a white tank top.  To sell the look at the end of the film, you’ll need some gauze for your arm as well as a little fake blood.  And don’t forget the bunny.

Sharon McGee (voiced by Sumalee Montano) is the mother of the titular Molly on the Disney Channel show The Ghost and Molly McGee.  Also the mother of Darryl and wife of Pete, Sharon is an artist who formerly attended law school.  She is hardworking and dedicated to her family, as well as careful with money.  Sharon wears dark blue jeans and mauve sneakers with a pale green cardigan.  Her gold necklace may be hard to find an exact match for, but a similarly geometric pendant necklace can do the trick.

Johnny Cage (voiced by Andrew Bowen in Mortal Kombat 11) is an action movie star and martial artist.  He is one of the seven original characters from the Mortal Kombat game series.  Johnny is a bit of a showboat and an airhead, but that does not detract from his fighting prowess.  In Mortal Kombat 11, Johnny’s look is more military-like than in previous iterations.  He wears a tactical vest and pants, with a black long-sleeved shirt, combat boots, and sunglasses.  Unless you can DIY Johnny’s “CAGE” belt, it might be hard to find, so look for a large silver buckle to use as a stand-in.

Dr. Carla Radames (voiced by Courtenay Taylor) is the person responsible for the creation of the C-Virus in the Resident Evil video game franchise.  In Resident Evil 6, Dr. Radames undergoes a transformation as part of Derek Simmons’ Ada Project, which turns her into a doppelganger of Ada Wong.  In her new appearance, Dr. Radames has short black hair and wears a blue dress with red scarf and belt.  She also uses Ada’s signature Hookshot weapon.  When seeking a gun to replicate the one she uses in the game, look for something futuristic-looking and mostly silver in color.

Ada Wong (voiced by Courtenay Taylor in RE6) has gone through several different iterations (and outfits) since she was introduced to the Resident Evil franchise.  In RE6, she’s back with a slightly more practical look for her chosen profession.  To recreate her appearance in this version, you’ll need black leather gloves, pants, and stiletto boots, as well as a red button-down shirt left open, with the sleeves rolled and the collar popped.  A real crossbow is likely outside the budget for a costume, so stick with the pistol worn in her shoulder harness, or opt for a smaller, more toy-like version instead.

Sara (voiced by Emily Brundige) appears in episodes nine and ten of Over the Garden Wall.  Sara is a classmate of Wirt.  She serves as her school mascot and both Wirt and Jason have a crush on her.  Sara’s Halloween costume is an interesting mash-up.  She wears a Nasa bomber jacket over a clown jumpsuit and her face is painted to resemble a skull.  To recreate her look, you may need to get a little creative, as an exact replica of her jumpsuit is difficult to find.  If you’re willing to be flexible, a sleeveless jumpsuit might stand in place with the jacket and collar over it to disguise the change.  Otherwise, a dark-colored onesie might work instead, or you can DIY it a little with fabric paint and a plain, light-colored jumpsuit. If you don’t want to paint your face, a skull mask can work as well.  Many of the Nasa jackets available for purchase are much more flashy than Sara’s, so a plain jacket and a few patches may be a better fit for her look.  The patches can be attached by sewing, gluing, or even using double-sided wall tape.

Crimson Countess (played by Laurie Holden) was a member of the superhero group Payback on the Amazon series The Boys.  Also a singer, Crimson Countess’ superpower is Explosive Fireball Generation and her catchphrase is “she’s the countess you can count on.”  To recreate the Countess’ look, you’ll want to focus on darker tones of red than you normally see in superhero costumes.  While full cosplay sets do exist, they can be very pricey, so if you’re willing to put in a little more effort, you can certainly get close to her onscreen look with a few simple pieces layered together.  A burgundy bodysuit is your base, over which you’ll want to layer a body harness, forearm sleeves, and high boots.  Top off the look with a red wig, shiny mask, and a cape.
