Carbon Costume

Mike Schmidt (played by Josh Hutcherson) is the protagonist of the horror film Five Nights at Freddy’s, based on the same-named video game.  Mike is set up with a job as a security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza by his career counselor.  Mike has messy hair and perpetual stubble.  His “uniform” consists primarily of a black vest that says “SECURITY” on the left side.  To make your costume, start with jeans and a grey thermal.  You can opt for a navy zip-up or a crewneck sweater, depending on which part of the movie you want to emulate.  Finish the look with either a green jacket or a black vest with a “SECURITY” decal added to make it look official, and a handy flashlight.

Bud Swanson (voiced by Ed O’Neill) is the estranged father of Joe Swanson in the animated series Family Guy.  He is the father-in-law of Bonnie and the grandfather of Kevin and Susie.  In an episode titled Papa Has a Rolling Son, the father-son pair reunite and attempt to repair their relationship.  Bud has grey hair and dresses in business casual clothes.  If you haven’t yet gone grey, don a wig, and then build your outfit using dark brown slacks, black dress shoes, a white button-down shirt, and a maroon V-neck sweater.

Steve Raglan (played by Matthew Lillard) is a career counselor who helps Mike Schmidt secure a job as a security guard in the horror film Five Nights at Freddy’s, based on the video game of the same name.  Steve wears gold wire-framed glasses and has a greying beard.  He wears mostly bland colors (think pale yellows and browns).  While you may not be able to find an exact match for any of his shirts from the film, a yellow and blue striped button-down with a blue Swiss dot tie or a brown plaid shirt with a burgundy and black striped one will do the trick.  Finish your costume with a goatee, which you can apply using spirit gum and grey out a bit with some mascara, and khakis.

The Narrator (adult Peter Watson) is from the new short film by Wes Anderson: The Swan, and is played by Rupert Friend. Wes Anderson has released a series of four short films on Netflix that are based on the stories of Roald Dahl. The Swan follows a boy named Peter Watson who encounters two bullies who kidnap him and turn the gun on a swan. The Narrator is the adult version of Peter Watson who tells the audience the story as we watch young Peter experience it.

The Narrator wears a brown tweed Norfolk jacket, a brown patterned sweater vest, white button down shirt, gray pants, and bright blue converse. He also at one point wears large white feathered wings.

Lancer is a main character from the game Deltarune.  A Darkner like Spamton, Ralsei, and Jevil, Lancer is white and black with blue details including and looks like a spade from a deck of cards.  For your costume, you can start with a white full-body suit.  Wear a blue hood, blue gloves, and blue shoes.  Add an iron-on blue spade decal to a black leotard to wear over top and you’re ready to go.

The Rat Man is from the new short film by Wes Anderson: The Rat Catcher, and is played by Ralph Fiennes. Wes Anderson has released a series of four short films on Netflix that are based on the stories of Roald Dahl. The Rat Catcher is about an English Village where a reporter/editor and a mechanic named Claud listen to a rat catcher as he outlines his plan to catch a rat.

The rat man wears an all-brown costume that includes a brown corduroy jacket, a button up cream shirt, brown patchwork pants, a brown leather crossbody bag, brown rain boots, and add a small rat stuffed animal to complete the costume.

Mettaton is a robot with a soul who appears in Undertale.  Spamton includes several references to Mettaton in Deltarune.  Mettaton’s original appearance is a box with rectangular lights, but he is eventually transformed into a more humanoid body created by Alphys.  To create your Mettaton costume, you’ll want to start with a metallic shirt and gloves, black pants, and pink boots.  Then, don a set of black shoulder pads and layer a black tank top with pink skull and crossbones over top.  Add a pink heart sticker to a metallic silver belt and don’t forget your emo wig to complete the look.

Henry Sugar is a character from the new short film by Wes Anderson: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, and is played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Wes Anderson has released a series of four short films on Netflix that are based on the stories of Roald Dahl. This film follows Henry Sugar, a rich man who attempts to have the ability to see with his eyes closed, so that he can use the skill in gambling.

Henry Sugar wears a variety of costumes in this film, but one that stands out are his bright red pajamas with white piping detail, as seen on the cover. Another he wears is a light all cream, white, and gray costume. This costume consists of a gray blazer, cream sweater, light gray tie, and a white button down shirt.
