Behind the Masquerade costume is an exhibit celebrating eight decades of Archie Comics, including the fami…

…nman cosplay from MTV (Violet Twirls & GluDood / @jpeake84) is out of this world. This Princess Leia cosplayer may have once been enslaved by Jabba the Hutt in Star Wars, but looks like a boss here. Charlie Brown from Peanuts looks prepared for the apocalypse. Got a kick out of the “Lucy” rocket launcher. We were also in the presence of royalty, with Shrek and Fiona in attendance. A wonderful interpretation of Stitch, of Lilo and Stitch, in humano…

…e, however, is that it’s based off the strange illustrations found in real-world manuscripts although the game makers create a fantastical world to explain the images. It’s another cosplay option where you might have to make your own props. But it’ll be well worth it. Especially if you’re a fan of medieval or fantasy cosplays! Most video games make for great group costumes, of course. But Inkulinati is unique even in that regard. Are you going to…

…John Herbert is an elderly neighbor of the Griffin family who spends his time waiting for the paperboy to bring him some good news. Hopefully the paperboy is Chris Griffin – MMMMMMmmmmmm….

…In SpongeBob SquarePants, Perch Perkins is a famous field reporter at the Bikini Bottom News. His appearance changes throughout the TV episodes and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, switching back and forth from orange to purple tones. In multiple instances it’s hinted this is the result of his vanity, with suggestions that he smears on purple makeup and wears a toupee. For this costume, pants need not apply….

…him to realize something is wrong in Woodsboro. Because of this, he remains alive at the end of the film (although he was supposed to be a victim in the original script). You can make his Woodsboro news ID with a piece of paper and insert it into the badge cover. The plastic camera is included as a prop, but you can use an old or broken video camera if you have one….

…carry out their first kill — Calliope must kill her first monster and Juliette must feed from her first victim — but they fall for each other instead. Ben is Juliette’s childhood best friend. He’s human, so he has a hard time handling the news that his best friend is a vampire. But he’ll still help her hide a dead body — which actually happens in the show. He is openly gay and in a secret fling with Noah. Though when Noah refuses to go public,…

…ot dull, bland, and boring, he isn’t happy. And when that happens it’s bad news for Wanda, Cosmo, and Timmy. H.P.’s look is pretty easy to get (and, as an added bonus, full of pieces that can be used for daily wear or with other cosplays) with the exception of his hat. Because it’s so unique you will have to DIY it. Cut a two grey stars out of softer, lightweight felt. Glue them together with a thin, piece of clear plastic between them. Then take…
