Carbon Costume

The Corinthian (played by Boyd Holbrook) is a character from Neil Gaiman’s graphic novel The Sandman.  The Corinthian is a nightmare created by Dream, who makes his way into the waking world where he indulges in murder and influences others to give in to their darker tendencies.  In the Netflix adaptation, the Corinthian wears a long light grey trench coat and round-lens sunglasses to hide his “eyes,” which unlike humans are actually rows of teeth.  He dresses well otherwise, so lean into your preppier side when recreating his look for a costume.  He also favors a dagger as a weapon when not using his supernatural powers.

Lock, voiced by Paul Reubens, is part of the trio of antagonistic Trick or Treaters in the 1993 movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, along with Shock and Barrel.

He has pale off-white skin, yellow sclera eyes with black pupils, red hair slicked back and styled up into devil horns at his forehead, and his teeth are sharp even outside of the mask.

Lock has turquoise blue lips, eyes shaded with red and purple on each lid, he wears a long sleeved red pajama set, matching red pointed devil shoes, has either yellowed hands or gloves, and a red, presumably real, devils tail. He also has a matching stylized devil mask that mimics his face and head shape, to match the other two’s themed masks.

In his 1976 cover of Cole Porter’s “True Love”, George Harrison unsuccessfully woos a parasoled lady with a romantic gondola ride and a plush heart. She remains unimpressed however and tosses the gift overboard. It’s only when she spots an aged cupid with a cigarette dangling from his mouth that she falls in love… with the angel.

Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) is a main character of the Nickelodeon sitcom, Drake and Josh. When his dad remarries, he becomes the stepbrother of Drake and Megan Parker. While Drake likes picking up girls, Josh prefers studying for tests. His interests include video games, magic tricks, and Oprah. He’s known to repeat words for emphasis (emphasis!). While Josh tries to stay out of trouble as the “responsible” one, Drake unintentionally pulls him into his schemes. Though he’ll always have Drake’s back, and throughout the show, Josh learns to be more carefree and confident.

Count Lucio is the one-time ruler of Vesuvia and husband of Nadia in the mobile game The Arcana: A Mystic Romance – Love Story.  Lucio is a vain man, always bragging about his accomplishments with a smirk.  He has blonde hair and dark brows.  His costume consists of a white suit without an undershirt, a red sash with medals, and a cloak held in place with a red gemstone brooch.  His left arm is covered in a gold gauntlet.  You can add gold details to a white blazer with fabric paint, if you’d like to get a little closer to his complete look.  For his armor, you could opt for just a gold hand gauntlet, which is easier to find, or you can take some leather paint to a brown full arm piece to evoke a similar feel, though it won’t be a total match.

In The Kids in the Hall, the Chicken Lady (Mark McKinney) is half man, half chicken. Apparently the offspring of a farmer and a hen, she’s the size of a human adult, smart as a bird, and sexually obsessed. For this costume you’ll need the wardrobe of an older lady and feathers, lots of feathers.

Jame Dale (played by Jack Nicholson) is the ill-fated President of the United States when aliens invade Earth in the sci-fi comedy Mars Attacks!  President Dale believes the Martians to be rational and seeks to make first contact in a bid for peace, a plan which quickly goes awry.  President Dale dresses as most Presidents–in dark suits.  He wears several different ties throughout the movie, but you can’t go wrong with something vaguely patriotic or merely striped.  If you don’t quite have his distinguished hairline, an old man wig can do the trick.  Less noticeable than his widow’s peak, President Dale sports a wedding band, gold watch, and a signet ring.

Numbah 19th Century is a character in Codename: Kids Next Door. As his name indicates, he was a KND operative from the nineteenth century. He was sent to Alamode to retrieve a secret cake recipe, but accidentally triggered a trap that froze him and many other KND operatives. In his honor, KND archaeologists search Alamode for the recipe, where Numbuh 19th Century was thawed out. While he still has heroic intentions, his values are very outdated.
