A former cocaine addict, Kendall is considered first in line to inherit his father’s company, but he has yet to fully earn Logan’s trust.

Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Oogie Boogie (voiced by Ken Page) is the antagonist of the 90s stop motion animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas. Finding himself at odds with Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie also manages to kidnap Sally to lure the Pumpkin King to his dungeon-like lair. Oogie Boogie is a boogeyman made of a burlap sack filled with countless brightly colored bugs that he’s eaten. Under certain lighting in his lair, he glows a bright green color. If you don’t want to shell out for the prestige costume below, you can get creative with a baggy dress and shoes (though it may be worth the splurge for the vinyl mask). For a little extra flair, try a thin layer of glow-in-the-dark paint. And don’t forget to bring some gummy worms to fill out your costume (and maybe share with friends).
