Carbon Costume

In the 2025 slasher Heart Eyes, the Heart Eyes Killer is a serial killer who targets romantic couples around every Valentine’s Day. This horror movie from the producers of Scream uses the same blend of horror and comedy, and slots in nicely with other holiday-themed horror movies like Christmas’s Krampus and Thanksgiving’s John Carver. The Heart Eyes Killer’s look is standard slasher fare (dark work jacket, work boots, leather gloves), but with the added twist of a stitched tan leather mask with light-up heart-shaped eyes. To go the extra mile with your own costume, install some red LED lights behind the glasses.

Mackenzie Carpenter (played by Leighton Meester) is the protagonist of the horror movie Drive Thru.  Mackenzie and her friends are targeted by a demonic mascot, Horny the Clown.  Her style is true to the time the film was made, relying on the punk/emo aesthetic of the early 2000s.  Mackenzie wears several different outfits throughout the movie, but two of the most memorable are worn while she’s chased by the killer mascot.  To create your costume, start with eyeliner, black nail polish, and a thick black leather cuff watch.  Then, choose which outfit to recreate.  Earlier in the film, Mackenzie wears low rise grey jeans, a skull print tee, and a black zip up hoodie with white graphics.  Later, she wears black combat boots, wide leg camo pants, and a burgundy tank top.
