Nurse Joker
Heath Ledger once described his depiction of the
Joker as a “psychopathic, mass murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy.” Clearly, this Joker isn’t afraid to do what needs to be done, even if it means cross dressing in a nurse’s dress.
Thing One and Thing Two
Thing One and Thing Two are mischievous creatures that cause trouble in The Cat in the Hat. If you’re looking for a comfy costume that looks like you just rolled out of bed, bed head included, then this costume’s for you.
Willy Wonka
Willy Wonka is the secondary character in the children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, written by Roald Dahl. Although in the 1971 movie adaptation, he is more of the main character as per the title change, where Gene Wilder plays a coy, yet explosive Willy Wonka. He is the eccentric candy-maker behind the Wonka brand. He hides five golden tickets in his Wonka bars and its finders earn a visit to his secret factory. By doing this, he hopes to find a sweet child to become an heir to the factory, of whom to share his creative candy making secrets. And that child is Charlie Bucket.
Willy Wonka’s personality was dark compared to his style. The dry-humored genius’ wardrobe is as colorful as his chocolate factory and you don’t need a golden ticket to get it. An over-sized purple blazer and brown top hat make it easy for people to guess who your style icon is. We suggest you leave the candy at home, unless you want people to think you’re creepy.
Oompa-Loompa
Oompa-Loompas are originally from Loompaland where they are preyed upon by Whangdoodles, Hornswogglers, and Snozzwangers. Willy Wonka offers the Oompa-Loompas jobs at his chocolate factory in exchange for cocoa beans. They are especially good at improvising songs that emphasize the bad habits of each child as they succumb to their vices.
Bane
In The Dark Knight Rises, Bane (Tom Hardy) is a revolutionary who’s intent on destroying Gotham. Formerly a member of the League of Shadows, he has both the brains and brawn to take on Batman. Bane’s mask gives him a continuous supply of pain killing gas, which might also explain that high-pitched voice of his.
Black Widow
Scarlett Johansson stars in The Avengers and Iron Man 2 as Natasha Romanoff aka the Black Widow. A highly-trained spy for S.H.I.E.L.D., she’s every bit as deadly as her code name suggests. To complete the look, follow this Black Widow makeup tutorial by Brizzy Voices.
Tonto
In The Lone Ranger, Tonto teams up with the Lone Ranger to try and bring justice to the Wild West. They are both seeking revenge against the Cavendish gang, who massacred Tonto’s tribe and murdered the Lone Ranger’s brother. While the Lone Ranger hides his identity with a mask, Tonto prefers to hide his identity with war paint.
Raoul Duke
In Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a film based on Hunter S. Thompson’s novel, magazine writer Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) travels to Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race. But he ends up spending most of that time picking up hitchhikers, taking psychoactive drugs, and driving through bat country.
Deadpool
In the Marvel Universe, Deadpool (aka Wade Wilson) is a mentally unstable mercenary. He’s hugely popular with comic fans as the merc with a mouth, frequently breaking the fourth wall. In the Wolverine movie, Ryan Reynolds also portrayed something that kind of resembled Deadpool, I guess…?
David Dunn
In Unbreakable, David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is a security guard who realizes that he has super powers after he’s the only one to survive a train wreck. And like in most M. Night Shyamalan movies, his kryptonite is the most common of substances: water. His poncho reads “FSU” (for Franklin State University) in yellow letters on the front, and “Security” on the back.
