Carbon Costume

In Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly) distills the essence of the country musician, parodying the likes of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Elvis Presley all in one go. His rags-to-riches story starts as a poor smell-blind kid who rises to become a musical phenomenon.

The American Horror Story: Asylum trailers feature a stark white nun who seems innocent enough that is until black tears start running out of her eyes. This creepy costume is perfect for those that might leave it to the last minute.

In Loverboy, Randy Bodek (Patrick Dempsey) is a college slacker whose parents force him to get a job. He eventually finds work as a delivery boy for the Mexican-themed Señor Pizza, although he discovers that he can earn much bigger tips from lonely housewives by serving “extra anchovies”.

In Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3, Yukari Takeba is a member of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES), who helps the group defend their home city from monsters known as Shadows. She is skilled in using the bow and arrow during battle, and specializes in healing and wind magic.

The Phantom is one man in a line of crimefighters whose responsibilities are passed along from father to son.

In Sofia the First, Cedric is the royal bumbling sorcerer of Enchancia, who’s seeking to take over the kingdom by stealing Princess Sofia’s magical Amulet of Avalor.

In Spy, Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is a CIA analyst who suddenly gets promoted from a desk agent to a field agent. Her job is to prevent the sale of a nuclear bomb – after all, who would suspect a frumpy cat lady of being a spy?

In The X-Files, Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) is an FBI special agent who’s tasked with investigating paranormal activity. In contrast to her partner Fox Mulder, who is a credulous believer, Scully is a staunch skeptic who believes only in what science can prove. Her wardrobe and posture reflect this no-nonsense attitude.
