Carbon Costume

Patrick “Pat” Butcher (played by Jim Howick) is one of the titular Ghosts in the original UK version of the series.  Pat was a scoutmaster and died in an archery accident.  He still wears his uniform as a ghost, as well as large glasses and a mustache indicative of the ’80s, the decade in which he died.  For your costume, you’ll need khaki shorts and a shirt as well as brown shoes.  You can layer green socks over yellow ones and twist together two different neckerchiefs before tying them around your neck and securing them with a black woggle to get the colors right in other parts of his outfit.  To create the look of an arrow going through your neck, you may need to get more creative.  Try breaking a plastic arrow in half and securring to your neckerchief with some hot glue.

Thanos is an antagonistic character in the second season of Squid Game. He is a struggling rapper who joined the games to pay off his debts after investing in a failed crypto coin. Once he realizes how the games work, he is quick to betray the other players for his own gain. He takes drug tablets that he stores in his necklace, which causes him to behave erratically. Thanos is portrayed by South Korean rapper T.O.P. Make this costume more accurate with a 230 patch and an “O” patch to affix on the tracksuit jacket, plus some temporary tattoos for that extra “bad boy” edge.

Takeo Masaki (voiced by Tom Kane) is a Captain in the Japanese Imperialist Army who appears in the Call of Duty video game series.  His intellect sets him apart from other soliders including “Tank” Dempsey and Nikolai Belinski.  For your costume, you’ll need to recreate a vintage military uniform.  Choose a white shirt, olive green jacket and pants, and brown boots.  Accessorize with a brown belt, pouches, and frog to hold your sword, as well as a Japanese military hat.  For weapons, you can’t go wrong with a sword.  But if you’d like to give Takeo a raygun, you may want to opt for a less expensive toy with similar features versus a replica, which can be pricey.

Dylan George (voiced by Zach Cherry) is one of the most productive Macrodata Refiners in Severance.  Dylan is motivated by the small perks Lumon Industries provides and is prone to profanity-laden outbursts.  Alongside Mark S. and Irving B., Dylan does his best to welcome Helly R. to their department.  After an episode where Dylan’s “innie” is awakened at home, he becomes less complacent and interested in revealing the secrets Lumon is hiding.  Dylan hasa  scruffy beard and mustache and wears a pair of glasses low on his nose.  At work, he wears suits and ties, and has his blue key card on a lanyard around his neck.

Ken Takakura is a protagonist in the anime Dandadan. Others give him nickname is Okarun due to his interest in the occult. While shy and reserved, he befriends Momo over their shared interests in the supernatural. He values and cares a lot about his friendship with Momo, which develops into a crush. After getting possessed by Turbo Granny, Okarun gains new superpowers, which alters his appearance and personality.

Jürgen Voller (portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen) is a villain in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Jürgen, who also uses the alias Professor Schmidt, is a Nazi official who has disguised his true identity in the United States.  Jürgen is in search of the dial so he can return to World War II and ensure the Third Reich’s victory, bringing him up against Indiana Jones and Helena Shaw.  When not wearing his military uniform, Jürgen dresses smartly in a dark suit and hat with a dark green tie.  He also wears a brown leather jacket and carries a black leather shoulder bag.

Billy Handsome (portrayed by Ray Liotta) is a playable character in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.  He is a prisoner on Alcatraz Island after being convicted of multiple murders.  Prior to the zombie outbreak, Billy had plans to excape prison alongside Salvatore DeLuca, Albert Arlington, and Michael O’Leary.  Billy has short black hair and an anchor tattoo on his left forearm.  His light blue shirt and beige pants are tattered and spattered with blood.  Finish your costume with a pack of fake cigarettes rolled into your left shirt sleeve, as well as plenty of fake blood.

The Black Knight (portrayed by John Cleese) is a minor character in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  The defender of a small bridge, he declares the King Arthur and his knights, “none shall pass,” before suffering the loss of most of his limbs at the hands of the King.  There are some Black Knight costumes that exist, if you’d like one that includes the loss of a limb, though none are a perfect replica.  Add boots, gloves, and a long sword to complete the costume or create your own with a black helmet, black and red knights’ robes, and black leggins.
