Carbon Costume

Axe Cop is a gruff police officer who prefers to wield a fireman’s axe while fighting crime. He’s married to his job, working the “always” shift by sleeping two minutes per day. His battle cry is straight and to the point: “I will chop your head off!”

Salvador Dalí was a Spanish surrealist painter who is best known for his bizarre, striking images. His unusual behavior and eccentric manner gained as much attention as his work. His look wouldn’t be complete without his signature mustache but we’ll leave it up to you to find your own flexible desk-lady.

Despite his somewhat disheveled look, Albert Einstein is one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contribution to theoretical physics. Even most people can recite his famous equation, E=mc² (though trying to explain it might be another story).

Dave Lizewski is an ordinary kid who wants to do something extraordinary. He decides to become real-life superhero Kick-Ass. Things don’t go so well in his first attempt at fighting crime though, as he gets stabbed and run over.

In Warm Bodies, Julie Grigio (Teresa Palmer) is sent out from the zombie fort to find medical supplies. She’s promptly surrounded by zombies, but one of them named R rescues her. They gradually develop a love for each other, which makes R transform from the undead to the living. It’s just like in the old fairy tales.

In Warm Bodies, R (Nicholas Hoult) is not your typical zombie. He is able to communicate, granted with grunts and moans. He gets enjoyment from eating food, granted by devouring human brains and experiencing their memories. And he falls in love with the non-zombie Julie Grigio, granted after consuming her boyfriend.

Dr. Ian Malcolm didn’t skimp on style when he arrived at Jurassic Park. Dressed in all black, the sarcastic mathematician could have easily gone from dinosaur safari to night club in seconds. A black leather jacket is an attractive part of this costume but if you really want to impress the ladies make sure you can explain chaos theory.

Michael Moore is an American activist and filmmaker, most notable for making the documentaries Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Sicko. While his films are certainly attention getting, you couldn’t say the same for his outfit, bullhorn notwithstanding.

In Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, L.B. “Jeff” Jeffries (James Stewart) is a photographer who breaks his leg and is confined to his Greenwich Village apartment. To pass the time, he spies on his neighbors using his telephoto camera. It’s all in good fun until he glimpses what he believes to be a murder. For this costume, you’ll need to make your own a fake leg cast.

In Vertigo, Madeleine Elster (played by Kim Novak) fears that she’s been possessed by her great grandmother who committed suicide. A retired detective is hired to secretly tail her and make sure she stays safe, but he doesn’t do such a great job when his fear of heights comes into play.
