JD from Heathers

Jason Dean, better known as “JD” (played by Christian Slater), is the teen with a sadistic side in the 80s dark comedy Heathers.  New to town, JD and Veronica quickly turn their high school upside down in their quest to exact revenge against the most popular students.  JD’s look embodies the outsider aesthetic.  He is portrayed wearing a long trench coat, black motorcycle boots, and a silver hoop earring no matter what the rest of his costume entails.  Though he wears several outfits during the course of the film, JD’s triumphant end comes in black jeans and a black-and-white graphic tee.  Tracking down a replica isn’t easy, so don’t be afraid to go for a plain black tee instead.  Strap your dynamite on and bandage up your left hand, and don’t be shy about the blood.

Chani Kynes from Dune

Chani Kynes (played by Zendaya) is a Fremen from the planet of Arrakis in the sci-fi movie Dune.  Chani’s people have lost their lands to colonizers in search of spice melenge, and she appears in visions had by Paul Atreides long before they meet.  Chani’s primary attire consists of a stillsuit, designed to help a person survive the difficult climate of Arrakis by recycling sweat and tears into drinking water.  You can make your own stillsuit using padded tactical pants and gloves, as well as a motorcycle or paintball jacket.  Your scarf can help strategically cover the parts of the jacket that don’t match the original as well.  In Paul’s visions, Chani often wears a long white robe or dress.  One of the Fremen’s defining features are their bright blue eyes, a side effect of long-term exposure to spice.  If you plan to wear blue contacts as part of your costume, it’s best to have yourself fitted by an eye doctor to make sure you have the right size and they don’t cause any damage.

Seymour Krelborn from Little Shop of Horrors

Seymour Krelborn is the main character of Little Shop of Horrors. He works at the flower shop on Skidrow owned by Mr. Mushnik. Shy and meek, he has a huge crush on Audrey. One day, suddenly (pun intended) Seymour finds a strange plant and names it Audrey II. But the plant needs human blood to grow, putting Seymour in an awful dilema. Rick Moranis portrays Seymour in the 1986 movie adaptation.

Art the Clown

Art the Clown is the main antagonist from the Terrifier franchise. Portrayed by David Howard Thornton, Art is a serial killer who takes the appearance of a demented clown. Don’t let his silence fool you – his violent, brutal murders speak for themselves. Let’s just say the two movies aren’t for the faint of heart.

queen tara from epic

Queen Tara from Epic

Queen Tara (voiced by Beyoncé) is a character in the CGI animated feature Epic.  As the ruler of Moonhaven, Queen Tara was dedicated to her people and protecting the forest.  When recreating her look, it’s important to take a little care to layer a few pieces together to get as close to the original movie look as possible.  First, you’ll want to choose a skirt with plenty of ruffles.  Depending on where you’ll be, a shorter skirt may be more practical than one with a train that looks closer to the original.  A petticoat, which is normally worn under a dress, can be a good match.  For her intricate top, try layering a bolero shrug under a cold shoulder top with a more asymmetrical look.

Recep İvedik

Recep İvedik

Recep İvedik (played by Şahan Gökbakar) is the titular character of the 2008 Turkish comedy film and its many sequels.  At the beginning of the series, Recep takes up residence in a luxury hotel after finding the owner’s wallet and attempts to win back his childhood love.  Recep’s most prominent feature is his dark unibrow, so don’t skip out on that aspect of your costume.  You might not be able to find an exact match for his brightly-colored shirt, but any bold orange striped button-down can work.

wolf from bullet train

Wolf from Bullet Train

Wolf (played by Bad Bunny) is the doomed groom aboard the Bullet Train.  After his wife and wedding guests are murdered by The Hornet on the day of his nuptials, Wolf tracks the mysterious assassin who kills with snake venom to the train.  When he runs into Ladybug, who spilled wine on him at the wedding, Wolf decides to take a little extra revenge, but it doesn’t turn out quite as he hoped.  Wolf wears a few different outfits throughout the film, incorporating accessories from the people he kills along the way, but his wedding look includes a white embroidered suit, red boutonniere, and wolf bolo tie.  He also wears a square belt buckle that says “Mexico,” but any fancy buckle will do in its stead.

m3gan from m3gan

M3gan

M3gan (voiced by Jenna Davis) is the titular life-like doll at the heart of horror film M3GAN. Created by robotics engineer Gemma as a companion for a young girl named Cady, M3gan soon begins to take on a terrifying life of her own.  To recreate M3gan’s look, you’ll need to embrace the deceptively innocent children’s doll appearance with white tights, black mary janes shoes, and a collared dress.  If you want to take the toy-like aesthetic a step further, try using a doll makeup tutorial to help capture M3gan’s wide-eyed appearance.

tangerine from bullet train

Tangerine from Bullet Train

Tangerine (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is Lemon‘s brother and partner in the action comedy Bullet Train.  Known as The Twins, Lemon and Tangerine are a deadly duo tasked with retrieving The White Death‘s son from a hostage situation and returning with the silver briefcase filled with ransom money.  Things get out of hand, however, when the case goes missing and The Twins try to hunt down the person responsible to save their own limbs.  Tangerine wears a blue pinstriped three-piece suit and plenty of gold jewelry, including a St. Christopher medal which he bestows on Lemon later in the film.  His vintage Rolex is a bit steep in price, but a vintage-inspired rectangular-faced watch will do the trick.  If you aren’t prepared to grow out a ‘stache of your own, a little spirit gum and the right fake one will do the trick.

lemon from bullet train

Lemon from Bullet Train

Lemon (played by Brian Tyree Henry) is an important supporting character in the action comedy Bullet Train.  One half of the well-known assassin duo The Twins, Lemon is a little obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine, and less than thrilled with the code names his partner Tangerine chooses for them.  Despite this disagreement, the affection between The Twins is obvious even as they shoot their way through baddies to save The White Death‘s son and battle it out with Ladybug for the all-important silver briefcase.  Lemon wears dark jeans and a denim jacket at the start of the film, as well as an orange tie and white dress shirt.  You can top off the look with gold hoops and a rectangular smartwatch, and don’t forget to hydrate with a nice, refreshing bottle of Fiji water.
