Carbon Costume

Mike Schmidt (played by Josh Hutcherson) is the protagonist of the horror film Five Nights at Freddy’s, based on the same-named video game.  Mike is set up with a job as a security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza by his career counselor.  Mike has messy hair and perpetual stubble.  His “uniform” consists primarily of a black vest that says “SECURITY” on the left side.  To make your costume, start with jeans and a grey thermal.  You can opt for a navy zip-up or a crewneck sweater, depending on which part of the movie you want to emulate.  Finish the look with either a green jacket or a black vest with a “SECURITY” decal added to make it look official, and a handy flashlight.

Sheena is part of the third series of Living Dead Dolls, and is based of the song ‘Sheena is a Punk Rocker’, made by the Ramones and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. She’s also the first doll in the series to have any piercings.

Her hair is dark and closely shaved at the back, with vibrant red middle parted bangs, and her eyes are red sclera with a bright yellow center. She has thick eye makeup, black lipstick, and a silver lip ring, with a matching silver ballchain necklace. The rest of her outfit consists of a black leather jacket over a white shirt, a red leather skirt, black ripped fishnets, black chunky boots with red laces, and she comes with an accessory of a bloody nailbat.

Boygenius, a band that consists of singers Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker. They recently released their new album The Record and created, as well as starred in, a short film of three music videos directed by Kristen Stewart called The Film. The three songs featured are $20, Emily I’m Sorry, and True Blue. The artists wear similar outfits throughout all three videos, but each are unique to each person. In the final song True Blue, they paint a room completely blue and end up with it on themselves, which can be recreated with fabric paint, acrylic paint, and blue face paint for the skin.

To dress like Lucy Dacus in the video, wear a soft/brushed white sweater with black jeans. She also has blue paint on her clothes at earlier points in the video, so that would be a perfect addition to this costume.

The Bride is part of the third series of Living Dead Dolls, and is inspired off of the tale of Frankenstein.

She has long black hair with white streaks striped throughout it, mottled shadows around her mismatched blue and black eyes, red lipstick, and facial wounds. Her dress is an off-white strappy dress with blood stains down the torso, her arms and legs are wrapped with bandages, and she wears chunky black lace-up boots. The accessory that she comes with is a realistic looking bloody human heart.

Princess Anna is a character from the popular Disney film Frozen, and is voiced by Kristen Bell. She is the sister of Queen Elsa and they both live in Arendelle. In one scene in this first film, we see Anna and Elsa attend coronation day, where Elsa is to be crowned queen and the gates of their kingdom open for the first time in forever! Anna dresses for the occasion in her iconic green and black dress. Add a black petticoat underneath to give the skirt more volume, and you can even add pantalettes underneath. She wears a necklace with this made out of a ribbon material, black ballet flats, and her hair is braided in an updo, which you can style yourself from your own hair or a wig.

Nanno (played by Kitty Chicha) is the protagonist of the Thai television series Girl from Nowhere.  A mysterious immortal figure, Nanno masquerades as a high school student, exposing the secrets of students and faculty alike.  Nanno wears a few different versions of a high school uniform throughout the series, so you can’t go wrong with a navy pleated skirt and a pale blue button-down shirt of your choice.  Likewise, she wears a few different navy ties, so don’t worry if you can’t find an exact match.  Finish your uniform with a black belt, white socks, and black Mary Jane shoes.  Nanno’s most striking feature is her hair, cut in a long bob with straight across bangs.  Depending on whether you’d like to emulate one of the gorier scenes from the series, you may also need a generous amount of fake blood.

Wigfrid is one of the playable characters in the survival horror game series, Don’t Starve.

She’s a former stage star, fully embodying the roll of the Valkyrie character she played to the point where it became the only thing she could do, leaving her other performances imperfect.

Wigfrid is usually seen wearing her stage costume, with her bright red hair tied back into two thick braids, white eyes like a large amount of other DST characters, and a gold toned valkyrie costume, with tan sandals/wraps, metallic bracers, and a viking-esque had with a unicorn at the top.

In Sailor Moon, Pluto has the same lengthy dark green hair as usual, worn partially up in a small bun at the top of her head, with the main differences to this look being the Pluto symbol on her forehead, a long black ribbon around her neck, and a black and gold teardrop necklace.

Her shiny black princess dress is a little bit more elaborate on the straps than the other outer scouts, with her having two thin straps on each side, both of which are decorated with gold fastenings. The bodice of her dress comes up in a point in the middle of her chest, and the rest of it falls in a similar way to Uranus and Saturn’s, with the sides of the skirt cut away to reveal a lighter underskirt layer. She is also one of the two that wear gloves in this form, with hers being a pair of black opera styled ones.

Hadley Sullivan is from the new Netflix film Love at First Sight, and is played by Haley Lu Richardson. Love at First Sight follows Hadley and Oliver who are on the same flight from New York to London and fall in love with each other on the plane. They lose each other at customs and try throughout the film to find eachother again.

Hadley wears trendy and casual outfits, as well as a formal dress, all in warm colors. In one look she wears an orange crop top, with a red sports bra or tank top underneath with stacked silver necklaces. The most iconic look from the film however, is an all red dress which can be recreated with a red velvet tank top, a red layered tulle skirt, a petticoat to add volume, and don’t forget a pair of green Nike sneakers.

Bud Swanson (voiced by Ed O’Neill) is the estranged father of Joe Swanson in the animated series Family Guy.  He is the father-in-law of Bonnie and the grandfather of Kevin and Susie.  In an episode titled Papa Has a Rolling Son, the father-son pair reunite and attempt to repair their relationship.  Bud has grey hair and dresses in business casual clothes.  If you haven’t yet gone grey, don a wig, and then build your outfit using dark brown slacks, black dress shoes, a white button-down shirt, and a maroon V-neck sweater.
