He is an ally for the forces of good, as he fights alongside the Fellowship and other men against Mordor. When his father dies in the Battle of Pelennor Fields, he becomes King of Rohan. His sister is the shieldmaiden Éowyn. In the movie adaptations, Karl Urban plays this role. For this costume, sling the brown belt around your shoulder to cross over your body.

Marsellus Wallace played by Ving Rhames is the mob boss running all of LA. He is married to Mia Wallace who he is extremely protective of. Recently Marsellus has lost something very important of his briefcase and has hired two hitmen to get it back for him.

Claudette Morel is a studious botanist turned healer, and one of the original quartet of survivors in the game Dead by Daylight.

Before the movie A Night at the Roxbury premiered, the Roxbury Guys were tearing up the dance floor on Saturday Night Live. While Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan played the brothers Steve and Doug Butabi, they were also often joined by other SNL cast members and hosts including Jim Carrey in one of the most iconic versions of the skit. To hang at the Roxbury, you need a fitted black t-shirt, thick silver chain, and an oversized two-piece suit (the shinier the better), not to mention plenty of hair gel to keep your strands in place while you bop along to “What is Love.”

Todd Alquist (played by Jesse Plemons) is a quintessential criminal. He is loyal to his employers and will just about anything they ask of him. From murder to torture to cooking meth he will carry out every order directed his way. The one exception is harming Walter White due to his personal respect for the man. Unfortunately for Todd, that respect didn’t extend to Jesse which brought about Todd’s ultimate end.

Because Todd is committed to his job, his clothing is very utilitarian. Black work boots, jeans, a grey henley, and a black button down. He also has gloves and kneepads for the dirtier side of his work. And if you want to go the extra mile you can dye your hair the same shade of strawberry blonde though many people will have to bleach their hair first.

In The Good Place, Michael is a “Good Place” architect. His duty is to design towns suited for the good people in the afterlife. However, the big season one twist reveals his ulterior motives. Michael is actually a demon (a fire squid, specifically) who designed the town to torture the four humans. He underestimates their intelligence as they continue to solve his experiment. Giving up on torture, he joins them to create a better system for the afterlife, and softens as a character. In the series finale (spoiler!), Michael becomes human and is given a life on Earth. He is portrayed by Ted Danson, who also starred in Cheers.

Laughing Jack was once a child’s toy that gave rise to the child’s imaginary friend. But when the child’s personality took a dark turn, so did that of Jack. If you love all things creepy and terrifying, it’s no wonder you like this CreepyPasta Pal! His story is one of the scariest out there.

Jack was once a colorful clown. When his personality took a turn so did his appearance. He is done up entirely in black and white now instead of a rainbow of colors. He has the high ruffled collar of a clown and feathery shoulders on his jacket, all in black. His shirt will take a little DIY but not much. Just cut the bottom half of the striped shirt off then put the crop top on over the top half. Dye the bandages dark grey and wrap those around your torso, covering the bottom of the shirts a little, and you’re good to go! (If you have extra bandages you can wrap those over the bottom half of your gloves too, to mimic Jack’s bandaged hands and black fingers)

For the lower half of the costume you’ll need black knee pants, black suspenders, and long socks that are striped black and white. Different version of the story have different shoes, but the shoe covers pictured above are old fashioned enough for a clown toy without looking like modern clown shoes. A shaggy black wig will give you the clown’s unkempt appearance. Jack was the exaggerated makeup style of a normal clown but done in black and white which you can copy with mime makeup. Once you have the look down all you will need is a sinister laugh and you’ll be dressed up like Jack!

Prince Charming is the antagonist of the second Shrek movie. Unlike the Cinderella fairytale, he has malevolent intentions. He ventures to the tower where Princess Fiona had been imprisoned, but instead he finds the Big Bad Wolf sleeping in her bed. The wolf explains Shrek rescued and married her already. Prince Charming  tricks her into thinking he’s Shrek, having been turned human from a potion, and almost gets away with it. However it’s revealed his mother is the Fairy Godmother, who wanted her son to marry Fiona so he could become king. Use the gold trim on the wrists of the striped shirt and along the blue waistcoat for some added royal flair. And don’t forget that charming smile!
