Carbon Costume goth
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Peterson) is a character of contrasts, between her gothic, vampish cleavage-enhanced appearance and quirky Valley-girl personality. When she visits a conservative town, her worldly attitude and revealing clothes lead the townspeople to declare her a witch and try to burn her at the stake.
Death from Sandman
In the DC comic series The Sandman, Death is both the end of life and the guider of souls. Unlike most personifications of death, like the Grim Reaper, she is a young goth woman dressed in casual clothes who also visits people as they are born.

Abby Sciuto
Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) is a forensic scientist at NCIS who specializes in ballistics, digital forensics, and DNA analysis. Despite her goth appearance and the fact that she sleeps in a coffin, she’s one of the perkiest and happiest people you’ll ever meet.
Rose Lalonde
In the MS Paint Adventures web comic Homestuck, Rose Lalonde is a friend of John Egbert and her role in Sburb is the Seer of Light. She wears this black Squiddle dress, which was made by Kanaya, on the Land of Light and Rain.
Lydia Deetz
Lydia Deetz’s style is all but strange and unusual. She keeps it simple by dressing in all black and minimal make up. The hardest part to replicate may actually be her bangs. We can’t guarantee this look will attract a bio-exorcist but you can always try saying his name three times.
Allison Reynolds
If you’re not into wearing color and you like to be the “weird girl” then Allison Reynolds’ look is the one for you. The key is to wear clothes that are a little too big for you and to make sure you carry a giant purse full of nonsensical stuff. We will leave it up to you whether or not you want to go all the way and include the dandruff.
Emily the Strange
Emily the Strange has a style that has inspired a new generation of little goth girls. She’s a mysterious character but her look is easy to achieve. It’s getting a colony of black cats to follow you around that might be the problem. Luckily you can purchase a few stuffed ones to complete your costume.
