Carbon Costume Movies
Nancy Downs from The Craft
Nancy Downs (Fairuza Balk) is the troubled punk-rock goth teen in 1996’s The Craft. Arguably the favorite among the cult following of this film. Every outfit of hers is admired throughout the whole movie, most notably her Catholic school uniform and the outfit she fights Sarah in.
There are so many fashion pieces she reuses and recreates that it’s up to the admirer to decide what outfit of hers they want to resurrect. Aside from the clothes, her makeup is fairly simple: brown and grey eyeshadow, red or black nail polish, and purple lip-liner with red lipstick.
Carlos “Cougar” Alvarez from The Losers
Carlos “Cougar” Alvarez (Oscar Jaenada) is a member of The Losers. A highly skilled sniper and expert at many types of munitions, he never goes anywhere without his stetson.
Goofy from Goof Troop
Goofy is the single father of Max Goof. He and Max move next to the Petes from their trailer home in the city. Goofy’s biggest weakness is that he has trouble paying attention, he has a short attention span, and is scatterbrained. He’s also very accident-prone and clumsy. He often drives his neighbor, Pete, up the wall. Goofy is laid back, and many times turns the other cheek when Pete insults him (or just doesn’t realize he’s been insulted), though a very few times he does get angry and gets back at Pete, when the offense goes far enough.
Kim Boggs from Edward Scissorhands
Kim Boggs (Winona Ryder) is the beautiful and innocent daughter of the Avon lady Peg in Edward Scissorhands. Her character falls in love with the estranged Edward Scissorhands (played by Johnny Depp) who’s gentle nature changes her views on love and what is right. Set in a 1960’s like-setting, Her outfits are straight out of the past. Two outfits of hers that are most memorable are her camping clothes she meets Edward in, and the significant white dress she wears at the end of the movie. Her makeup is fair and natural, consisting of rose colored lips and bright eyeshadow.
