Ghostbusters (2016)

The 2016 film is a reboot of the original Ghostbusters, swapping the ghost-catching crew out for Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy), Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig), Jilian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), and Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones).

Dirty Harry

In Dirty Harry, Harold Francis Callahan (Clint Eastwood) is a police detective working the case for a psychopathic serial killer calling himself Scorpio. Dirty Harry doesn’t hesitate to cross professional and ethical boundaries, dispensing his own brand of justice with his trademark .44 Magnum.

Gideon Graves

In Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Gideon Gordon Graves (Jason Schwartzman) is Ramona Flower’s seventh evil boyfriend, and the founder of League of Ramona’s Evil Ex-Boyfriends. He’s also a music mogul who hosts the Sex Bob-ombs in a tournament, causing a great deal of conflict for Scott Pilgrim.

The Invisible Man

The Invisible Man is the name given to the protagonists of H.G. Wells’s sci-fi novel of the same name and the classic Universal Studios horror movie franchise that spawned from it. Besides that, similar characters have appeared in numerous other media, such as the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics and a stage play. Since there have been many people to take up the mantle, designs vary. Feel free to mix and match different articles of clothing. Personally, I like to use Solar Shields when I dress as him as opposed to Victorian sunglasses, because they look like goggles worn in more contemporary depictions, have side lenses like the 19th century sunglasses worn in the classic films, and are large enough to cover my eyeglasses.

Radio Raheem

In Do the Right Thing, Radio Raheem (Bill Nunn) is a towering young black man who carries a boom box around his New York neighborhood of Bed Stuy, blasting only Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” on repeat.

Knives Chau

In Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Knives Chau (Ellen Wong) is a high school girl who dotes over Scott Pilgrim, at least until he breaks up with her for Ramona Flowers. She goes as far as to get highlights that match Ramona’s, although they get punched out of her hair by Todd Ingram.

Zed from Zardoz

In Zardoz, Zed (Sean Connery) lives in a post-apocalyptic Earth of the future, where humans are divided between poor Brutals and the immortal Eternals. Zed himself is a Brutal Exterminator, who kills other Brutals at the order of a huge flying stone head called Zardoz.

Princess Mononoke

In Princess Mononoke, San is a young woman who was raised by the wolves and feels hatred for humans, but eventually comes to care for Ashitaka, a young warrior and the last prince of the Emishi tribe.

Sherlock Holmes

In Guy Ritchie’s 2009 rendition, Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) is an eccentric detective in the 1800s hired by a secret society to foil a mysticist’s plot to expand the British Empire by supernatural means.

The Re-Animator

Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs), also known as the Re-Animator, is the villain of the cult classic 80s comedy-horror film “Re-Animator”, its sequels, and its 2011 stage musical, all based on HP Lovecraft’s short story “Herbert West–Reanimator”. He also was the subject in the Dynamite Comics series “Re-Animator” and even crossed paths with Ash Williams from Evil Dead in the Army of Darkness Vs Re-Animator comic series (An fun idea for a pair cosplay). Chemistry tubes/head optional. Bring “life” to any party in this gross out costume!
