Chad (played by Harry Shum, Jr.) is a chef in an alternate universe who works with Evelyn at a hibachi restaurant in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once.  Chad is the best chef at the restaurant where Evelyn works in this particular universe, but she soon discovers why… there’s a raccoon under his chef’s hat that controls his every move.  To recreate the ‘Raccaccoonie’ costume, you have a few options. You’ll want to dress as a chef using white and blue as much as possible.  But for the raccoon component, you can decide how much effort you’d like to put in.  You can wear a blue chef’s hat and attach a raccoon tail hanging out the back, or you could wear a cute raccoon plush hat.  If you’re willing to get a little more creative, you could cut slits into the bottom of a raccoon stuffed animal and thread two or three hard headbands through it to affix the toy to your head.

Finney Blake (played by Mason Thames) is the protagonist of the horror film The Black Phone.  Based on a short story of the same name, Finney is kidnapped by a serial killer known as The Grabber.  While held in captivity, he begins to receive supernatural communications from prior victims on a disconnected black phone.  Finney has long, shaggy hair, and is wearing a blue and grey baseball tea and jeans when he is kidnapped.

Zeus (Russell Crowe) is a minor character in Thor: Love and Thunder. He is the Greek god of the skies, king of Olympus, and leader of the gods. When Thor confronts him about the god butcher, Zeus disregards the threat. The group ends up impaling him with his Thunderbolt, which Valkyrie steals before making their escape. Later on, they use the power of the Thunderbolt to help defeat Gorr. An iconic scene from the trailer involves Zeus magically removing Thor’s disguise that leaves him nude in front of everyone and makes the Grecian girls swoon. The post credit scene features Zeus recuperating from his injuries and calling upon a familial hero to take down the Norse god of thunder.

Ned Bigby (Devon Werkheiser) is the protagonist of Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, a live-action Nickelodeon series from the mid 2000s. He writes tips on how to navigate the many aspects of school, such as bullies, sports, picture day, and more. At the start of each episode, Ned breaks the fourth wall by discussing its theme and delivers the corresponding tips to the audience. His solid advice shows his creativity, but also can highlight his anxiety. Ultimately, his goal is to make it through middle school with his two best friends, Cookie and Moze. His usual style is short sleeved flannel over a crew neck t-shirt, paired with jeans and his trusty guide.

Spamton G. Spamton is a darkner in Deltarune.  First encountered in Cyber City as a miniboss, Spamton can also be a bonus boss like Jevil, depending on the decisions made by the player.  Spamton has a look based around that of traditional ventriloquist dummies, with slicked-back black hair, white skin, an unnerving smile, and red cheek circles.  To recreate this look, you can use a white hooded bodysuit as your base.  Use fabric glue to attach red felt circles and then draw the smile on with a fabric marker.  Then, throw on your wig, black shirt and pants, and bi-colored sunglasses overtop and you’ll be ready to terrorize Cyber World.

Trent Lane (voiced by Alvaro J. Gonzalez) is a supporting character on the MTV animated series Daria.  The brother of Jane Lane and eventual boyfriend of Daria Morgendorffer, Trent is a struggling musician with a relatively laidback attitude.  To recreate his costuming from the series, you’ll need some distressed jeans and a light green t-shirt.  If you want his tattoos to have a little more staying power, consider using a temporary tattoo pen to draw them on, while using an eyebrow pencil to perfect his goatee.

Darwin Watterson is a main character in Cartoon Network’s The Amazing World of Gumball. He used to be Gumball‘s pet goldfish, but one day he grew legs and adapted to life out of the water. Now the two are best friends. Optimistic and joyful, Darwin is generally a very happy person, always seen with a smile on his face. He likes making others happy and always sees the good in people. Although sometimes Darwin can be overly sensitive and possessive, especially regarding Gumball, he has a strong moral compass and values being honest. While he’s a loyal friend, he’s often talking Gumball out of his schemes. For this costume, feel free to add orange accessories and makeup!

Tino Tonitini is the main character in the Toon Disney animated series, The Weekenders. He usually will introduce himself at the start of each episode as well as the following plot. Tino is a silly, strange individual, who does dorky things such as playing air guitar or laughing maniacally. Although he has his own sense of humor with his sarcastic wit. At the end of the episode, Tino turns to the camera to deliver the moral of the story. His trademark goodbye is “Later days!” Use the white and navy blue ribbon to replicate the stripes on the shirt, and affix with fabric glue, tape, or thread.
