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.
Gendo Ikari
Gendo Ikari is the abusive father of Shinji Ikari and the commander of NERV from the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. Stern, cold, and infamous for his glare, Gendo is considered to be one of the main antagonists of Neon Genesis Evangelion, though he has his own motives.
The Beldam (Coraline’s “Other Mother”)
In the creepiest kid’s movie you’ll ever see, the Beldam (Teri Hatcher) is a creature that exists in an alternate world discovered by Coraline’s titular character. Posing as a more fun version of Coraline’s (Dakota Fanning) mother, the Beldam in its true form is a tall and willowy spider-like creature who kidnaps children and loves them obsessively until they die. The main physical difference between Coraline’s true mother and the Beldam in her mother’s form are the two shiny black buttons that cover her eyes.
Zoe Washburne
The devoted first officer and right-hand-man of captain Malcolm Reynolds, Zoe Washburne (Gina Torres) serves up a military attitude, wry wisecracks and crack shots in the first and only season of the fan-favorite TV show Firefly. Dressed like a Brown Coat (the rebel faction she and Mal served under) in a leather vest, gun holster and weathered boots, she looks as tough as she acts.
Henry Bowers from It (2017)
In Stephen King’s It (2017), Henry Bowers (Nicholas Hamilton) is the leader of the Bowers Gang who, along with Patrick Hockstetter, live to bully kids like Ben Hanscom and Richie Tozier from the Losers’ Club. Roll up your shirt cuffs and wrap a bandana around your wrist to complete the Bowers look.
Kyle Broflovski
Kyle Broflovski is the undeniable moral voice of reason in South Park. His end-of-episode wrap-up speeches about “what we’ve all learned today” have become a running joke in the show, with most characters sick of his preachy and holier-than-thou attitude. Still, Kyle always tries to do the right thing, not matter how often he is scoffed for it.
Wendy Torrance
Wendy Torrance is the wife of Jack Torrance and mother of Danny Torrance in the Stephen King novel The Shining and Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film of the same name, where she’s portrayed by Shelley Duval.
Lorraine Broughton
Lorraine Broughton is the protagonist of the graphic novel The Coldest City and its 2017 film adaptation Atomic Blonde portrayed by Charlize Theron. She is a secret agent who becomes involved in a global Cold War conspiracy where she gets involved with the CIA, MI6, and KGB all at once. She wears many stylistic outfits over the course of the film, this guide focuses on the costume presented in most promotional material.
Alabama Whitman
In True Romance, Alabama Whitman (Patricia Arquette) seems to hit it off with Clarence Worley at a kung fu screening. But she reveals that she’s a call girl hired by his boss for a birthday present, even though she’s actually falling in love with him.
Amy Blue
Amy Blue is the femme fatale 17 year old cynical chick from Gregg Araki’s 1995 indie film The Doom Generation. Which was the start of Rose McGowan’s career and has recently gained a cult status in the past few years.
Amy’s style definitely resonated with her personality and scenes, as well as the rest of the plot. There are a number of outfits that mirrors teen angst and teenage innocence, but the one that stands out to say the least is her signature black mini dress (which is featured on about every poster regarding the movie.)
To pull off this look, You’ll need: a simple black mini dress, a pair of rough combat boots and white socks, a heavy but bulky leather jacket (Amy’s has a Chicago Police patch on the arm sleeve), a pair of ivory pearls and/or pearl chain with a single silver ring attached, silver band rings, along with some geometrical plastic ones, black lace bra and panties, and of course: a sleek dark brown/black bob with a piercing skull ring along with the word ‘kill’ either written or carved into your knuckle.
