Carbon Costume frankenstein
Lisa from Lisa Frankenstein
Lisa Frankenstein (Kathryn Newton) is a new 80s style horror/comedy film by Zelda Williams. Set in 1989, the film follows a teenager named Lisa in high school who has a new crush that turns out to be an reanimated corpse.
Lisa’s style is one that has lots of layers and is oh-so-80s. To dress like Lisa, wear a black sheer dotted shirt with a corset style tank top layered on top, and layered over that is a bolero sleeve top. Pair with a black tulle skirt with a wide black waist belt. Under that wear black tights, black fishnet tights or layer both with black combat boots. She also wears a headband that features a large black bow, black sunglasses, small silver hoop earrings, and finally a red lipstick and nail polish.
Bella Baxter from Poor Things
Bella Baxter (played by Emma Stone) is the main character of Yorgos Lanthimos’ film Poor Things. Reanimated by Dr. Godwin Baxter, Bella is eager to learn all there is to know and embarks on an adventure to do just that with a lawyer named Duncan Wedderburn. Bella has long black hair and is often awkward or unorthodox in her movements and speech. She wears many fantastical costumes throughout the film, including a long dusty pink skirt with a ruffle blouse and white shoes, a black puff sleeve jacket with grey socks and black boots, and yellow shorts with the same ruffled blouse and a puff sleeve cropped jacket. If you can’t find an exact match for some of her more outrageous costume pieces, don’t be afraid to find something similar. Complete your look with a long black wig and black eyebrow pencil.
Bride of Valentine from Living Dead Dolls
The Bride is part of the third series of Living Dead Dolls, and is inspired off of the tale of Frankenstein.
She has long black hair with white streaks striped throughout it, mottled shadows around her mismatched blue and black eyes, red lipstick, and facial wounds. Her dress is an off-white strappy dress with blood stains down the torso, her arms and legs are wrapped with bandages, and she wears chunky black lace-up boots. The accessory that she comes with is a realistic looking bloody human heart.
Frankie Stein
Frankie Stein is a character in the Monster High franchise. They are the child of Frankenstein’s monster. Comprised of the body parts of geniuses, they are extremely intelligent. With dolls, cartoons, and a live action movie, Frankie has many different styles. Therefore, our costume guide features a variety of pieces to assemble a unique outfit. Plaid fabric attests to a nerdy, yet preppy look. A studded belt adds punk flair. The color palette consists of black, white, and blue; the new generation features neon tones as well. Add neck bolts and stitches and you’ll be too ghoul for school.
Victor Frankenstein from Frankenweenie
Voiced by Charlie Tahan, Tim Burton’s Victor brings a youthful wide-eyed spin on the classic mad scientist from Mary Shelley’s classic novel. After all it’s much easier to sympathize with a little by who wants his dog back than a madman bent on defying the laws of nature!
Victor channels a bit of the original Frankenstein’s mad scientist style with his robes and goggles. But the clothes he wears underneath are more modern. A grey button down, black pants, black belt, and black shoes make up the core of the outfit while a short black wig rounds it out. Grey face paint or dusky makeup can recreate the vibe that you’ve stepped out of a black and white movie. And of course you’ll need your very own Frankenweenie!
Herman Munster
Herman Munster, played by Fred Gwynne, is the patriarch of the Munster household in the classic CBS show The Munsters, Herman is an entity much like Frankenstein’s monster, and although many are afraid of his scary appearance, he nevertheless remains completely affectionate and lovable.
The Bride of Frankenstein
In The Bride of Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein is coerced by The Monster to create a mate (Elsa Lanchester) to be his companion. Despite her bandaged appearance, she makes quite an impression with her lightning streaked hair.
