Carbon Costume

In Stranger Things season 3, Jim Hopper (played by David Harbour) ditches his typical sheriff’s uniform for a trendy Miami Vice-inspired outfit for his date with Joyce Byers. Unfortunately, the date does not go quite as he’d planned, but the outfit serves him well as he works with Joyce and Eleven to stop the Mind Flayer from leaving the Upside Down and entering Hawkins. Hopper’s season 3 look includes a bright pink and green shirt and light blue jeans.

In Friday the 13th VII: The New Blood, Jason Voorhees (played for the first time in the franchise by Kane Hodder) is resurrected from the depths of Crystal Lake by a teenager with telekinetic powers. Freed from his literal chains beneath the water, Jason proceeds to wreak havoc, committing countless murders with an array of unique weapons including a scythe, green party horn, a weed wacker, and even a sleeping bag. Because Jason has been sitting at the bottom of Crystal Lake prior to part VII, his clothing is not only tattered, but its remnants expose rotted flesh and bone, giving Jason a somewhat zombiefied look. When creating this costume, it is important to generously slash and tear the clothing to reveal layers of flesh and bone beneath. A two-piece latex mask with detachable hockey mask is the best way to truly embody this particular version of Jason Voorhees.

The Green Hornet made his premier on a serialized radio program inn 1936. Since his inception, he has made mutiple appearances across comic books, television, and movie screens.

In 2011, Seth Rogan starred in a film reboot of The Green Hornet as the title character. The movie re-imagined Britt Reid and his superhero alter ego in the modern world. Rogan’s costume more closely resembles the 1960s TV version of the Green Hornet than his original comic book incarnation. This modern adaptation calls for a green three piece suit, Venetian style masquerade mask, and black leather driving gloves.
