Carbon Costume

This now viral picture shows an actress dressed as an Oompa Loompa from the disastrous “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, Scotland. What was advertised as an immersive experience took place in a sad, sparsely decorated warehouse with original villains like The Unknown. It’s became a viral sensation, with pictures of the event circulating everywhere online. Fortunately, the woman pictured, Kirsty Paterson, sees the funny side of it – and is okay with people dressing up as her for Halloween. People are already planning their 2024 Halloween costumes around the fiasco, so this guide has you covered.

Shoto (voiced in Japanese by Yūki Kaji and in English by David Matranga) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga series, My Hero Academia.

He is a student at UA, in class 1-A with Izuku Midoriya, and often teams up with both him and Katsuki Bakugo. The three of them formed a group to do a work study under Shoto’s father, the pro-hero Endeavor. He got a mix of quirks from both his parents, and is able to use both the powers of fire as well as ice, though he was hesitant to use the fire side earlier on in the series due to the trauma caused by his family.

We do already have an article for his hero outfit available here, so for this one I’ll be covering his school attire. His hair doesn’t change between outfits, it’s still the same styled two toned red and white, and his eyes are alternatively turquoise and brownish-grey, with a scar covering the turquoise side. Since this is the school outfit, he wears the standard grey and dark teal blazer, with matching pants, a white button up shirt, and a red tie. For his shoes, he wears similar ones to his sister, with them being the same style sneaker, in a light blueish-green.

Ragatha is a character in the Youtube miniseries The Amazing Digital Circus, created by Gooseworx and produced by GLITCH. After putting on a VR headset, a person gets transported to a circus themed video game, with the AI ringleader, Caine, as its host. She’s one of the other players Pomni meets. She extends the most empathy towards her and tries to promote an optimistic outlook – as to not lose sanity. She has the avatar of a ragdoll. Use the red crayon to draw a triangle on your nose.

Marty (voiced by Brian Froud) is the main protagonist of the Canadian cartoon ToonMarty. He is the mascot for ToonMart who comes to life after his billboard is struck by lightning.  He explores Toonville with his best friend Burnie and a robot named Holly.  Marty has a crush on Suki.  Marty has brown hair and freckles.  He wears a bright green polo shirt, black pants, and black shoes, and wears a coral-red baseball cap.

Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) is a major character in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, streaming on Disney+. Based on the novels by Rick Riordan, Grover is a satyr, tasked with safely escorting demigods to Camp Half-Blood. He befriends Percy Jackson at Yancy Academy, where the Mist allows him to blend in as a human. He is close with Chiron, who poses as a teacher there, and helps introduce Percy to the world of Greek mythology. Shortly after, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover embark on a quest together to retrieve Zeus’ master bolt.

Rosie (voiced by Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer) is an elegant and friendly demon in the web series Hazbin Hotel.  She has a flair for vintage fashion and music, and is friends with Alastor.  Rosie has pale grey skin and white hair, black eyes and sharpened teeth.  She wears an oversized hat in shades of maroon and black.  Her attire is Victorian-inspired in the same colors.  To build your costume, start by choosing a vintage-styled skirt in burgundy or red and black.  You’ll also need a high-collar blouse in matching colors.  Add a bolero to emulate the style of her costuming from the series.  Finish your costume with a white wig and white gloves, as well as a fabulous derby hat.

Karamatsu (voiced in Japanese by Yuichi Nakamura and in English by Ray Chase) is from the anime Osomatsu-san, the newest iteration in the Osomatsu series.

He is the second oldest brother in the Matsuno family, just under Osomatsu (the titular character) and is an absolute menace to those around him, as he likes to portray himself as an excessively flamboyant person, with the good majority of his clothes having some form of flashy element to them, such as sequins.

Karamatsu has the same hair color as his brothers, in the same dark brownish-black short cut, and dark eyes. His hoodie is like the other’s, with his being a mid-toned blue, with the same green pine tree emblem on the front, and he wears a pair of light jeans with slip on shoes in almost the same color. For his main accessory, he is often seen wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Major Dr. Ghastly (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is a main protagonist in the Cartoon Network series Evil Con Carne.  Originally paired with The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, the show followed Hector Con Carne, Major Dr. Ghastly’s husband, as he tried to conquer the world despite being reduced to only a brain and stomach attached to a large bear.  Ghastly is taller than General Skarr, who also works with Hector.  For your costume, you’ll need a sleeveless burgundy bodysuit to start.  Layer black gloves, black thigh-high boots, and a black belt over that.  You’ll also need a pair of goggles and a red wig long enough to style in a low bun.  Finish your look with some red lipstick.

Marcus Damon (voiced by Sōichirō Hoshi and Quinton Flynn) is the main character of Digimon Data Squad.  Marcus is the son of a Digimon researcher and is extremely combative, though he’s loving and loyal when it comes to his friends and family.  Marcus has long auburn hair with fame-fracing bangs.  His outfit consists of a black sleeveless shirt, a red and white vest, and olive green pants.  His accessories include black and red sneakers, black wrist cuffs, and a silver necklace given to him by his father.

Nico is a supporting character in the webtoon series Hooky.  He is the boyfriend of Daniela.  Though he believes himself to be unmagical, Nico eventually discovers that he has the power of clairvoyance.  Nico has ginger hair and golden eyes.  As a child, he wears a tan tunic and brown pants, with a green headband tied around his head and an animal print sash.  Older Nico can be seen with longer hair, a black hat, black sweater, and dark green pants.
