Carbon Costume Men
Albert Einstein
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).
R
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
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
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.
L.B. “Jeff” Jeffries
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.
Bastian Balthazar Bux
Bastian may have conjured up his fantasies in “The Neverending Story” but little did he know he was also channeling the ’90s skater boy look way before anyone else. Chances are you probably have a few of these items in your closet already. However, what really makes this costume is the book. Luckily for you we live in a world of technology, so you can skip the hardback copy and go straight for “The Neverending Story” Kindle cover.
Jesse Pinkman
Jesse Pinkman may have gotten in a little over his head when he decided to become partners with his former high school chemistry teacher. However, upping his meth production has allowed him to increase the number of T-shirts he owns which are great for showing off those tribal tattoos.
Hector Salamanca
In Breaking Bad, Mark Margolis plays Hector “Tio” Salamanca, Tuco’s uncle and a formerly feared enforcer for Don Eladio. In old age, he is wheelchair-bound and unable to speak, but the brass service bell he uses to communicate is nearly as dangerous as anything he could say.
