Carbon Costume

Mike Schmidt (played by Josh Hutcherson) is the protagonist of the horror film Five Nights at Freddy’s, based on the same-named video game.  Mike is set up with a job as a security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza by his career counselor.  Mike has messy hair and perpetual stubble.  His “uniform” consists primarily of a black vest that says “SECURITY” on the left side.  To make your costume, start with jeans and a grey thermal.  You can opt for a navy zip-up or a crewneck sweater, depending on which part of the movie you want to emulate.  Finish the look with either a green jacket or a black vest with a “SECURITY” decal added to make it look official, and a handy flashlight.

Princess Anna is a character from the popular Disney film Frozen, and is voiced by Kristen Bell. She is the sister of Queen Elsa and they both live in Arendelle. In one scene in this first film, we see Anna and Elsa attend coronation day, where Elsa is to be crowned queen and the gates of their kingdom open for the first time in forever! Anna dresses for the occasion in her iconic green and black dress. Add a black petticoat underneath to give the skirt more volume, and you can even add pantalettes underneath. She wears a necklace with this made out of a ribbon material, black ballet flats, and her hair is braided in an updo, which you can style yourself from your own hair or a wig.

Hadley Sullivan is from the new Netflix film Love at First Sight, and is played by Haley Lu Richardson. Love at First Sight follows Hadley and Oliver who are on the same flight from New York to London and fall in love with each other on the plane. They lose each other at customs and try throughout the film to find eachother again.

Hadley wears trendy and casual outfits, as well as a formal dress, all in warm colors. In one look she wears an orange crop top, with a red sports bra or tank top underneath with stacked silver necklaces. The most iconic look from the film however, is an all red dress which can be recreated with a red velvet tank top, a red layered tulle skirt, a petticoat to add volume, and don’t forget a pair of green Nike sneakers.

Ada Wong (voiced by Courtney Taylor) appears in the feature-length animated horror film Resident Evil: Damnation.  As with her many appearances in the horror game franchise of the same name, Ada‘s appearance in Damnation includes short black hair and a red and black color palette.  To recreate her look, you’ll need a short black wig, black choker, and red pumps.  Her outfits consists of a red long-sleeved button-down shirt (left buttoned at the throat and upper chest), as well as a leather jacket with vertical piping and a leather pencil skirt with a thigh slit.  It’s hard to find a skirt with a slit on the right thigh, but you can pull the one pictured up higher to mimic the shorter length of Ada’s original from the movie.

Steve Raglan (played by Matthew Lillard) is a career counselor who helps Mike Schmidt secure a job as a security guard in the horror film Five Nights at Freddy’s, based on the video game of the same name.  Steve wears gold wire-framed glasses and has a greying beard.  He wears mostly bland colors (think pale yellows and browns).  While you may not be able to find an exact match for any of his shirts from the film, a yellow and blue striped button-down with a blue Swiss dot tie or a brown plaid shirt with a burgundy and black striped one will do the trick.  Finish your costume with a goatee, which you can apply using spirit gum and grey out a bit with some mascara, and khakis.

The Narrator (adult Peter Watson) is from the new short film by Wes Anderson: The Swan, and is played by Rupert Friend. Wes Anderson has released a series of four short films on Netflix that are based on the stories of Roald Dahl. The Swan follows a boy named Peter Watson who encounters two bullies who kidnap him and turn the gun on a swan. The Narrator is the adult version of Peter Watson who tells the audience the story as we watch young Peter experience it.

The Narrator wears a brown tweed Norfolk jacket, a brown patterned sweater vest, white button down shirt, gray pants, and bright blue converse. He also at one point wears large white feathered wings.

Nimona (voiced by Chloe Grace Moretz) is the titular young sidekick of the Netflix adaptation of ND Stevenson’s comic of the same name.  Nimona is a shapeshifter and sidekick to Ballister Boldheart, who is framed for Queen Valerin’s murder.  Nimona can take the form of many animals, but she most often appears as a young human girl.  As a human, Nimona wears brown boots and silver armor beneath a red vest, skirt, and belt.  To recreate her armored shorts, cut a pair of shiny silver leggings to fit.  Then, layer a burgundy skirt and brown belt overtop.  For the rest of her costume, use a brown short-sleeved turtleneck, layer a red tunic over it, and add dragon-scale epaulets to emulate her armor.  You’ll also need to style a short ginger wig and use brown wrappings around your forearms and hands.

The Rat Man is from the new short film by Wes Anderson: The Rat Catcher, and is played by Ralph Fiennes. Wes Anderson has released a series of four short films on Netflix that are based on the stories of Roald Dahl. The Rat Catcher is about an English Village where a reporter/editor and a mechanic named Claud listen to a rat catcher as he outlines his plan to catch a rat.

The rat man wears an all-brown costume that includes a brown corduroy jacket, a button up cream shirt, brown patchwork pants, a brown leather crossbody bag, brown rain boots, and add a small rat stuffed animal to complete the costume.
