Carbon Costume Movies
Fred Jones
In Scooby Doo, Fred Jones is the official leader of Mystery Incorporated. The preppy blonde never forgets his orange ascot when he goes off to build traps and solve mysteries.
Carrie
Sometimes people are pushed to the brink and for 17-year-old Carrie it was prom night. While her classmates may have thought otherwise, Carrie’s homemade prom dress was actually quite nice. However, if you don’t want to be confused for just any prom queen then you need to cover yourself in fake blood. As for acquiring telekinesis, you’re on your own with that one.
Droogs
Alex and his droogs didn’t make a lot of wise choices in A Clockwork Orange. In fact, even their attire was questionable. If you’ve always wanted a reason to wear your jockstrap on the outside of your pants, then dressing like a droog is for you. Complete the outfit with a bowler hat and cane but then stop there, this is one costume where acting the part is discouraged.
Kiki’s Delivery Service
Kiki is a 13-year-old witch who leaves her village for the big city with her black cat Jiji by her side. There she supports herself by setting up a delivery service for the local bakery, making the most of her ability to fly. Being a witch has its perks.
Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn
Charlie Sheen stars in Major League as pitcher Rick Vaughn. When the Cleveland Indians owner wants to put out the worst team possible, they hire a cast of misfits including Vaughn. He has an amazing arm but lacks control, earning the nickname Wild Thing. That is, until he takes an eye exam and is fitted with skull-and-crossbones glasses.
A League of Their Own
A League of Their Own stars Geena Davis, Madonna, and Rosie O’Donnell as members of the Rockford Peaches, a team in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Go ahead and try sliding for home plate in this dress, but just remember that there’s no crying in baseball.
John Hammond
John Hammond had good intentions when he decided to resurrect dinosaurs but as we all know things didn’t go as planned. However, John did somehow manage to keep his clothes relatively white despite all of the chaos. If you’re bold enough to pull off an all white wardrobe, perhaps you’re also willing to test your craft skills and recreate John Hammond’s famous amber mosquito cane. Don’t worry, no one will expect you to clone a T-Rex.
Dr. Alan Grant
World renown paleontologist, Dr. Alan Grant, is passionate about his career but fashion, not so much. Fitting the stereotype of what you’d expect to see at an archaeological dig, Dr. Grant’s attire is logical and relatively easy to pull off. Of course, this look also gives you an excuse to wear a denim shirt without your friends making fun of you.
