Renee Madison from Lost Highway
Renee Madison (Patricia Arquette) is the wife of Fred Madison in the 1997 David Lynch film Lost Highway. Movie buffs will remember her character as the sexually unsatisfied wife who becomes tragically murdered by her husband after he assumes she has been cheating on him with another man.
Renee’s style is very elegant, symbolized in dark colors, in contrast to her alter ego Alice Wakefield who is often found in lighter colors. The outfit Renee is first seen in is her red satin dress covered by a black silk robe. Other than her outfit, she can be seen with dark brown/reddish long hair with front bangs, and some red lipstick and black nails to match.
Peter Banning / Pan From Hook
Robin Williams plays a grown-up Peter Pan in the 1991 Steven Spielberg fantasy adventure film Hook. It acts as a sequel to the original Peter Pan play focusing on an adult Peter Pan who has forgotten all about his childhood. In his new life, he is known as Peter Banning. However, when Captain Hook, the enemy of his past, kidnaps his children, he returns to Neverland in order to save them. If you want to make his coconut hilt sword, get a regular sword, paint it gold, and attach one half of a coconut bra to the hilt. You can cut some material from the costume for his shoe covers.
Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore
In Happy Gilmore, Price is Right host Bob Barker gets into a fist fight with Happy Gilmore during a pro-am golf tournament, thoroughly handing his behind to him in the process.
Dr. Finkelstein
In The Nightmare Before Christmas, a grumpy, muttering old geezer, Dr. Finkelstein (William Hickey) is the creator of Sally (Catherine O’Hara) and the resident scientist in Halloween Town. While he is often shown being grouchy, he is highly protective of Sally and always eager to research and experiment with new ideas – especially if they involve Jack Skellington (Chris Sarandon). At the end of The Nightmare Before Christmas, Dr. Finkelstein is shown to be wheeled around by his new wife that he created with half of his brain.
Singing Telegram Girl
In Clue, the Singing Telegram Girl (Jane Wiedlin) is a character who visits Mr. Boddy’s party to deliver a message, before being killed by one of the guests. She is later revealed to be a former patient and lover of Professor Plum’s.
Megara
Megara/Meg (Susan Egan) is the feisty, street-smart, sarcastic love interest in Disney’s “Hercules.” In exchange for her soul, Hades (James Woods) saves the life of the man she loves. But when he leaves her, her trust in love and men is shattered. Up until she hesitantly falls for Hercules (Tate Donovan), she’s on a mission Hades to take him down.
Jeryline
Jeryline is one of the many unfortunate souls in the film Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight. I had just watched this movie days ago and love her character due to how relatable and inspiring she is. This film deserves more attention if it hasn’t gotten any already!
Jeryline’s outfit is straight out of the ’90s with it’s matching fabric and grungy attitude sported as an alternative streetwear image. The pieces needed to pull off her look are: a blue denim shirt (with the sleeves cut off), a white cropped shirt, a pair of ratty denim blue jeans, a bleached casual buzzcut, abandana, piercings for both ears, some black working gloves, and a pair of chukka ankle boots.
Mrs. Peacock
In the film, Clue, Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan) is the high society wife of a Senator. She is a guest of Mr. Boddy’s party, and is being blackmailed for accepting bribes to deliver her husband’s vote. To stay true to the board game, Mrs. Peacock killed the cook in the kitchen with the knife.
Kenny McCormick
Lovable and dirty-minded, Kenny comes from the poorest family in South Park and is often ridiculed for it by his friends. Because of his tightly zipped up coat and hood, Kenny’s voice is very muffled and often hard to understand. However, the character’s trademark is indisputably his incessant habit of being brutally killed over and over again.
Adam Maitland from Beetlejuice
Adam Maitland (Alec Baldwin), is the husband of Barbara Maitland and is one of the protagonists of the Tim Burton 1988 film Beetlejuice. After the two die, they enlist the help of bio-exorcist Betelgeuse to get the family who moved into their home out. Adam’s monster form with mask and eyeballs is optional, but if you do want to do it, make proper modifications to them such as holes on the eyes for your fingers.
