Mary is a character from the new 2025 horror film Sinners, and is played by Hailee Steinfeld. Sinners takes place in 1930s Mississippi. Mary is one of the key characters in the film and starts off in a bold but soft all-pink look for our first impression of her, but ends in a more sleek one, stained in blood.

To dress like Mary in her final look, wear a pink slip dress, heels, and a satin pink scarf to drape over your arms. To distress for the bloody and supernatural details, use red fabric or acrylic paint mixed with black to darken the color. Use blood face paint on the bottom half of your face and down your neck. Finally, add colored contacts to complete the look.

She is extremely allergic to the sun, and ended up caught out in it one day while chasing her runaway pet poodle named Hun, which lead to her death.

Dottie has cotton candy pink hair worn in a very wildly styled bob, thin black eyebrows depending on the version (some of her dolls shipped without), red lipstick with a black liner layer around them, and bright, unsettling pink eyes, ringed in black shadow. She wears a black sleeveless sundress with white polkadots covering the entire thing, black strap sandals, and her nails are painted red.

Kirie Goshima is the protagonist/narrator of Uzumaki, the horror manga novel by Junji Ito. She is a student and resident of Kurozu-Cho, the town cursed by spirals. Kirie is a recurring target of the spirals, such as when her hair curls into spirals. Her friend and eventual boyfriend, Shuichi Saito, often rescues Kirie from these attacks. In the end, the two find the City of Spirals underneath the town, and they become intertwined together forever. Uzumaki received a 2024 anime adaptation on Adult Swim, now streaming on Hulu. This costume guide follows her winter school uniform.

The Miner (played by Peter Cowper and Neil Affleck) is the brutal killer of the horror film My Bloody Valentine.  Originally a miner who was trapped underground following an accident, he resorts to cannibalism to survive and is later committed to an asylum after murdering those responsible.  Years later, Axel Palmer dons the Miner’s uniform to kill again.  To create your costume, you’ll need a set of coveralls, a balaclava, black gloves, and sturdy boots.  Finding a black miner’s cap can be difficult, but you can use a cheap yellow one and paint it yourself.  The same goes for the silver details of your gas mask.  Complete your look with the hat, mask, a belt, and your trusty pick axe.

Leo Barnes (played by Frank Grillo) is a police sergeant who appears in two installments of The Purge franchise.  After his son is killed by a drunk driver, Leo resolves to seek revenge on the night of the annual Purge.  Later, he becomes head of security for Charlie Roan.  Leo dresses sensibly for his Purge night, bringing a duffel bag with extra weapons and wearing clothes that are dark in color and easy to move in.  To create your costume, choose grey pants and black boots, a light grey t-shirt and a black sweater with a black pea coat.  Don’t forget the fake blood.

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.
