Nightmare!Sans from Undertale

Undertale is one of those games that, while not exactly a household name, has a dedicated fan base. So dedicated, in fact, that they have made up sprawling alternate universes filled with lore and characters all based off the original game by Toby Fox. One such alternate universe is Dreamtale created by Tumblr user Jokublog. A battle-ready villain, Nightmare is one of the most terrifying version of Sans – a skeleton in the original game – out there today.

Putting together a Nightmare Sans costume takes a fair bit of DIY. And, unfortunately, a tolerance for wearing a number of layers.

The largest chunk of the DIY will go toward making your tentacles. Buying premade costume tentacles is very expensive. However this tutorial walks you through making your own using pool noodles from the dollar store. They will take some time but will be more affordable than buying them premade.

The second bit of DIY comes into play when you prepare the body suit. Nightmare has a permanent and unsettling grin as well as one eye that is always battle-ready blue. Soft touch paint lets you apply both to the hood and mask of your body suit which will also give your head the bone-smooth appearance of a skeleton without a bald cap. It will be a little tricky to see through the body suit for long periods of time but it still makes for an excellent Sans.

Once the DIY is done all you will need is a black zip-up hoodie, a black t-shirt, black shorts and black shoes. You should also grab some black ankle socks. They won’t be visible when you’re wearing the costume but they will make walking in the body suit more comfortable.

Alex Mercer from Prototype

Alex Mercer (voiced by Barry Pepper in Prototype and Darryl Kurylo in Prototype 2) was once a scientist. Right up until the day the people in his project started dying one by one. He tried to stay out of the fight but when he had no other choice he exposed himself the Blacklight Virus. The resulting mutations made him into something his enemies could never have seen coming.

Mercer can shapeshift which makes a full-range cosplay a little difficult unless you’re good at casting molds and don’t mind carrying around different accessories. Luckily Mercer has an iconic look even without his mutation. And that looks makes for an excellent cosplay!

The most important part of Mercer’s costume is his leather jacket. Under that you’ll need a brown zip-up hoody and a white button-down shirt. A pair of jeans and black shoes finish off his look. This look is great for closet cosplay and almost all of the pieces transition easily into other costumes. Like I said – an excellent cosplay!

Zero Kiryu from Vampire Knight

Zero Kiryu is the secondary main character in the anime Vampire Knight. He is part of the Day Class, though he is secretly a vampire. Together with Yuki Cross, he protects the human students from the vampire students. He is also a vampire hunter, and his tattoo, called the Hunter’s Seal, is used to suppress and tame his vampiric nature. He struggles with his desire for blood and his equally strong desire to kill those of his kind. While he usually cold-hearted and hostile, he shows his real emotions to Yuki, and feels very protective of her. Throughout the series, they develop a romantic relationship and eventually have a daughter named Ren.

The Hillbilly from Dead by Daylight

Max Thompson, Jr. was born deformed and spent most of his life locked away from the world by his mother and father. When he finally broke out, he brutally killed them both. Later, he continued his rampage by butchering animals and any trespassers who came onto his property. Now known as the Hillbilly, he slaughters survivors and sacrifices them to the Entity in the horror game Dead by Daylight. The Hillbilly is covered in roughly scarred skin. To achieve this effect on your face, you can use sculpting wax and 3D FX gel. If you plan to continue the look down your arms, using a flesh colored shirt can make it easier; by pinching pieces of the fabric together and gluing them, you can mimic the rippled texture of the Hillbilly’s character design.

human torch comics character

Human Torch

Human Torch, aka Johnny Storm, is a member of the Fantastic Four. Aboard Mr. Richards’ spacecraft, he became exposed to cosmic radiation, which gave him superpowers. He now has the ability to engulf his entire body in flames, absorb fire into his body, and control nearby fire. Did we mention he can fly too? He is the brother of Invisible Woman, aka Sue Storm. Compared to his compassionate older sister and sensible brother-in-law, Johnny can be impulsive and reckless. His catchphrase is “Flame on!” — usually exclaimed upon activating his full body fire powers. To turn up the heat on this cosplay, you can some use face paint, flame decals, or red and yellow tissue paper for fire effects.

Yen Sid

Yen Sid is a character from the 1940 animated movie, Fantasia. He is a powerful sorcerer whose magic mainly comes from his hat. In the segment The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, his goal is to teach Mickey Mouse all he knows about magic. Later he appears in the Kingdom Hearts video games. Fun fact: If you spell his name backwards, it spells Disney. We don’t think that’s a coincidence at all.

Mr. Whiskers from Brandy & Mr. Whiskers

Mr. Whiskers (voiced by Charlie Adler) is a hyperactive rabbit trapped in the Amazon rainforest in the Disney Channel show Brandy & Mr. Whiskers.  Along with a pampered pooch named Brandy, Mr. Whiskers falls out of an airplane and becomes stranded in the jungle.  The pair are forced to survive together while making new friends.  Mr. Whiskers is a white rabbit in an orange jumpsuit, making this is a simple look to recreate with just a few layered pieces and some face makeup.

Gaston from Beauty and the Beast

Gaston from Beauty and the Beast

Ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley, and they’ll tell you they want to be on Gaston’s team! After all, no one hits, matches wits, or spits (well, expectorates) quite like him — and his antler-decorating skills are unmatched in all of Gaston’s provincial French village! Gaston (voiced by Richard White) sure has let the praise his followers bestow upon him get to his head. He acts like he’s Walt Disney’s gift to women, much to the chagrin of one Belle.
