Addison Wells (played by Meg Donnelly) is the main protagonist of the Disney Channel original movie franchise Z-O-M-B-I-E-S. Addison is a cheerleader at Seabrook High School.  Born with white hair, she wears a wig for most of her life until it is revealed she is actually half-alien and her hair grows to its natural blue color.  There are three ways you could go about dressing as Addison:  in her regular clothing, a cheerleading uniform, or after she embraces her otherworldy identity.  The first two are relatively simple, rely on shades of pink and a bubbly attitude as well as a blonde wig.  For her alien look, you’ll want to layer plenty of metallic silver pieces as well as a blue skirt and wig.

Many different versions of her have appeared in the lore tomes of Dead by Daylight, covering her close encounters with the monsters of the Entity.

His usual style is short sleeved flannel over a crew neck t-shirt, paired with jeans and his trusty guide.

In Dead by Daylight, The Dredge is the negative thoughts of every member of a 1960s American cult, consolidated into one Boogeyman-esque shadow monster. The Dredge, being non-human and a unique creation of Dead by Daylight, will be difficult to find parts for, but you can adapt some masks by cutting and reassembling them or by building them from scratch if you have the time/skill to do so.

Octavia (voiced by Barrett Wilbert Weed) is an avian demon in the web cartoon Hazbin Hotel.  Octavia is sarcastic with an interest in collecting taxidermy that suits her gothic appearance.  Octavia has messy hair and long grey tail feathers.  She wears a pink dress and black beanie.  To recreate her look, don’t be afraid to be a little interpretive.  White face paint with purple eyeshadow can evoke her unique appearance.  The wings pictured, though meant to be worn over the arms, can be detached into two halves and worn on the legs if you’re feeling particularly crafty.  (Safety pins can do a lot to help secure them in place by pinning them to other items of clothing.)  If you are just looking for a short-term costume, gold star stickers can be added to the dress for an evening.  Otherwise, you may want to get out the hot glue gun or splurge for iron-on patches in the same star shape.

Spamton G. Spamton is a darkner in Deltarune.  First encountered in Cyber City as a miniboss, Spamton can also be a bonus boss like Jevil, depending on the decisions made by the player.  Spamton has a look based around that of traditional ventriloquist dummies, with slicked-back black hair, white skin, an unnerving smile, and red cheek circles.  To recreate this look, you can use a white hooded bodysuit as your base.  Use fabric glue to attach red felt circles and then draw the smile on with a fabric marker.  Then, throw on your wig, black shirt and pants, and bi-colored sunglasses overtop and you’ll be ready to terrorize Cyber World.
