Carbon Costume Movies
Eddie Kaspbrak
In Stephen King’s It, Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Grazer) is a sickly hypochondriac boy, though his broken arm is quite real. He might get that from his domineering mother, who is constantly worrying about his health. He only truly feels well when he’s with this friends in the Losers Club, including the likes of Richie Tozier, and Bev Marsh.
Nebula
In Guardians of the Galaxy, Nebula (Karen Gillan) is adopted by Thanos and raised as a sibling of Gamora. Sure she’s sadistic and evil, but at the same time it’s clear she’s jealous and hurt by the success of her older sister. For this costume, apply the metallic silver paint to face and left arm.
Drax the Destroyer
In Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) is a powerful alien whose family was slaughtered by Ronan and Thanos. He joins Peter Quill and vows revenge on them along with Gamora. For the costume, use the gray body paint to touch up parts that aren’t covered by the costume, such as your neck and hands.
Good Burger Employee
In Good Burger, slacker Dexter (Kenan Thompson) and dim-witted Ed (Kel Mitchell) take summer jobs at the local fast food joint where they greet people with the line “Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger”. Complete the costume with engraved name tags that say “I’M ED” and “I’M DEXTER”.
Spider-Man Homecoming Homemade Suit
In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is forced to return the fancy high-tech suit that benefactor Tony Stark gifted him after an incident with the Vulture goes awry. He resorts to wearing the amateur costume that he made during his early exploits that first made him famous.
Richie Tozier from It
In Stephen King’s It (2017), Richie Tozier (Finn Wolfhard) has the nickname Trashmouth Tozier, so you know he has a loud mouth and loves foul language. He’s the clown of the Losers Club. No, not literally the clown, that’s a fella named Pennywise.
Pennywise the Dancing Clown from It (2017)
In the 2017 remake of It, Pennywise the Dancing Clown (Bill Skarsgard) is an ancient, trans-dimensional evil spirit that takes the scariest form of all — a creepy killer clown. Compared to the 1990 adaption of Pennywise, this one is lankier and childish but creepy as hell all the same. While wearing the clown costume, roll around in the dirt to give it the right weathered look.
Mantis
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Mantis (Pom Klementieff) uses are telepathic powers to sense others’ emotions when she makes physical contact with them. Despite this ability she remains innocent and rather naive, which makes sense given that she’s spent most of her life in solitude with Peter Quill’s father Ego. Who would have guessed the antennas would be sold at Hot Topic of all places?
Laura Kinney (X-23)
In Logan, Laura Kinney (Dafne Keen) is a mysterious young mutant who is revealed to be a clone made from Wolverine’s blood. She might be an 11-year old girl wearing a rainbow tee and colorful sunglasses, but make no mistake that she is X-23, a deadly assassin created to be the perfect killing machine.
Joker (1989)
In 1989’s Batman, Joker (Jack Nicholson) becomes the Joker as we know him after mobster Carl Grissom sets up his second-in-command to be killed in a vat of chemicals. It doesn’t finish him off, but leaves him depraved and disfigured, with a maniacal laugh and deadly vendetta. Nicholson’s is a classic look that’s since been re-interpreted by Heath Ledger and Jared Leto.
