Merrill Hess from Signs
Signs was something of a cultural phenomena when it came out in 2002. A genuinely scary movie with a twist that most did not see coming, it set the tone for the next decade of horror movies. Part of its appeal was a cast that delivered consistently strong performances. This included Joaquin Phoenix as the washed up local hero Merrill Hess.
Once destined for baseball greatness he now lives and works on the family farm without much ambition toward anything. His clothes - work jeans, work boots, and a dark henley - are all ideal clothes for working on a farm. And when the aliens touch down, he's one of the first to accept the idea that it's aliens and reach for a tin foil hat. Of course it's his trusty bad that really makes the costume and with a little help from Etsy you can have your own Merrill Hess slugger ready and waiting! Just don't forget to keep a glass of water nearby.
