Kenshin Himura
Kenshin Himura is the protagonist of the classic anime/manga/live action film series Rurouni Kenshin. Kenshin has spent ten years traveling Japan as a rurouni in search of redemption, carrying a sakabatÅ with the vow to never kill again. Kenshin Himura voiced by Mayo Suzukaze in the original Japanese anime and Richard Cansino in the English dub is a kind-hearted traveler. He is secretly also the swordsman known as Samurai X. He fights for justice, and to protect those that are weak. He does not kill his enemies and therefore either has a wooden sword or reverse blade sword on him at all times. You will need to add a little texture and tease the wig with a comb for extra volume then tie it up in a low ponytail. Create the X scar using special effects makeup and you’re ready for a cosplay event during any season.

Faith Justin (Juliette Lewis) is the ex-girlfriend of Lenny (Ralph Fiennes) in 1995’s Strange Days. She is a vulnerable but power-hungry club rock star who is oblivious to the amount of chaos occurring around her.

Violet Song Jat Shariff
In Ultraviolet, set in a world in which vampires exist due to a disease called hemoglophagia, Violet Song Jat Shariff (Milla Jovovich) is part of the underground resistance fighting in the Blood Wars. The government is rounding up the vampires – called homophages – in order to kill or experiment upon them. Violet has a violent and bloody history with those she battles, having lost both a husband and child to them. This guide covers her red leather outfit that nearly covers her from head to toe to protect her from the sun.
The Red Queen
A moniker for the cutting-edge AI system within Umbrella Corporation’s bio-weaponry facility The Hive, the Red Queen causes the entire series of events in the film Resident Evil. After an outbreak of the zombie-causing T-virus occurs within The Hive, the Red Queen initiates a lock-down and will not allow anything living to escape The Hive. She is modeled after the lead programmer’s daughter, appearing as a completely red little girl in the first movie and then as a full-color holographic girl dressed in red in the sequels.
Billy Flynn
Ivy
Ivy (Drew Barrymore) is the sexy teen who seduces her best friend’s father in 1992’s Poison Ivy. Her character set off the rest of the series that would often replace the main female protagonist in each sequel. Ivy is a troubled teen living with her irresponsible Aunt, who is soon pitied by her best friend and taken in. Everyone overlooks her continuously flirting with her friend’s Father, and instead becomes entranced by her beauty and charisma.
Green Goblin (Norman Osborn)
Norman Osborn, otherwise known as the villain, Green Goblin, is the main antagonist in the Spider Man series. Portrayed by Willem Dafoe in the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, Norman Osborn is a capable businessman with a murderous alter ego that manifests itself in the Green Goblin. Since, no commercial costume exists for the film’s rubber suit, save for the mask, you’ll need to get creative with some generic costume armor and metallic green spray paint.
Casey Becker
Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) is the first victim and second killed character of Ghostface in 1996’s Scream. She is a young blonde sweet teenage girl who loves horror slasher films and is dramatically yet ironically killed in the exact fashion.
