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.

Pete Martino (played by Richie Moriarty) is the perpetually upbeat 80s scout master killed by a stray arrow on the CBS sitcom Ghosts.  Prior to his death, Pete was a dedicated family man and scout leader to a troop of girls, one of whom loosed the arrow that accidentally resulted in his demise.  To recreate his look from the show, you’ll need large-framed glasses, tall boot socks, green shorts, and a khaki shirt.  Adorn the shirt with as many patches as you want.  The easiest way to make it look like there’s an arrow through your throat is to use a gag headband turned sideways.  A neckerchief can double as part of the costume as well as a disguise for the headband while it helps hold it in place.
