In the 1997 action film Face/Off, terrorist Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) is the target of FBI Special Agent Sean Archer (John Travolta), whose son was killed by Troy in an assassination attempt. Special Agent Archer goes so far as to undergo an experimental procedure to transplant Troy’s face onto him. Meanwhile, Troy finds a way to get Archer’s face transplanted onto him. So for this costume, you get to cosplay as both Castor Troy and Sean Archer as Castor Troy. Very confusing we know…

In the 2015 live-action movie Cinderella, Eloise “Ella” Webb or Cinderella (Lily James) is left alone with her cruel step-mother and two step-sisters when her father unexpectedly dies.

Complete Cinderella’s glamorous look with this Cinderella makeup tutorial.

In Costume Quest, Wren Carver is the fraternal twin sister of Reynold. Along with their friends Everett and Lucy, she faces off against the dark forces of Auburn Pines as the de facto leader. Wren is the most reluctant to give up her Abe Lincoln Jr. store-bought costume and DIY her own.

In the Undertale AU, Fresh!Sans is a Sans variant that dresses in epic 80s multi-color clothes. Fresh is actually a parasitic monster that has taken control of Sans, causing him to lack emotion and be unable to love. If you’re going with the latex mask, best to make your own large YOLO sunglasses. The pre-made YOLO sunglasses listed above work best if you’re going to use face-paint for Sans’s head. In this case, paint in the YOLO letters to get the best match. Other AU Sans include Error!Sans, Ink!Sans, Underswap!Sans, and Underfell!Sans.

In the manga and anime Spice and Wolf, Holo is a wolf harvest deity who ensures a bountiful wheat harvest for the residents of Pasloe. In her human form, Holo appears as a 15-year-old girl with long brown hair and red eyes, although she keeps her canine fangs, fox ears, and fox tail.

In Dead Rising, Stacey Forsythe (voiced by Robyn Ross) heads CURE, a controversial zombie rights activist group.

In the Archer episode “Southbound and Down”, Pam Poovey rides shotgun with Archer on their Trans Am as they escort a tour bus carrying Lana Kane and the rest of the team down to Texas is under 36 hours. Before long, Pam adopts the trucker call sign “Snowball” and falsely snitches to a motorcycle gang that the bus is carrying cocaine to earn their respect.

In the Broadway musical Be More Chill, Jeremy Heere (played by Will Connolly and Will Roland) is a sweet but awkward high school junior who’s a social outcast due to his nerd status. He gets bullied by the popular kid Rich Goranski, who writes “boyf” on his backpack, and has a long-time crush on Christine Canigula. He’s given the chance to implant a supercomputer called Squip in his brain, which instructs him on how to become popular.

In the 2D fighting game Skullgirls, Filia Medici is a schoolgirl who has a toothy parasite on her head named Samson. Her spiky tentacle hair, red eyes, and amnesiac condition are a result of Samson. Before Samson, she had blonde hair, and as a Skullgirl, her hair becomes bright purple.
