Carbon Costume horror game
The Legion (Frank and Julie) from Dead by Daylight
In the game Dead by Daylight, the Legion is a killer that consists of four teenagers, Frank, Julie, Susie, and Joey. Frank Morrison was a promising high school athlete, but he was kicked out of school after he attacked a referee at a game. After bouncing around several foster homes, Frank ended up in the small town of Ormond where he met Julie Kostenko who saw him as her ticket out of her hometown. Frank and Julie also hung out with Susie and Joey, and the foursome began vandalizing and robbing as a hobby before they committed a murder during a break in, which sealed to their fate as killers for the Entity. Frank and Julie’s costumes are very similar, so it could be fun to use these two as a basis for a couple’s costume or as part of a larger group of four.
Rosemary “Rose” Winters from Resident Evil Village
Rosemary “Rose” Winters (voiced in English by Jeannie Tirado) is an American superhuman and a character in the Resident Evil Village video game. The daughter of Ethan and Mia Winters, Rose’s body is comprised completely of Mold, a fungal superorganism capable of replicating human DNA. Rose wears sturdy sneakers, a pair of distressed jeans, and her late father’s jacket. She also carries a book called Village of Shadows that her parents used to read to her.
The Hag from Dead by Daylight
As a young girl, Lisa Sherwood was kidnapped by a village of cannibals. After being chained to a wall and slowly eaten for weeks, she broke free and ate her former captors alive. As the Hag, she sacrifices survivors to the Entity in the game Dead by Daylight, though she also occasionally eats them. The Hag’s costume is simple, but some patience will be required in order to apply the body paint necessary to achieve the finished look.
Nick Ramos from Dead Rising 3
With no memory of his past and few clues to go on, Nick (voiced by Andrew Lawrence) is one of the youngest and the most mysterious protagonists in the Dead Rising series. He also makes for a great cosplay with the exception of his weapon, the sledge saw, which takes a build all its own to replicate.
Sledge saw aside, a Nick Ramos cosplay is great for people who want something with reusable pieces. A set of coveralls with the sleeves torn off, workboots, and a patch is all you really need for the clothing. A tattoo pen lets you copy the “12” tattoo on his neck, finishing off the whole look.
Nea Karlsson from Dead by Daylight
Nea Karlsson is an urban artist from Sweden who, upon tagging the Crotus Prenn Asylum, found herself transported to the realm of the Entity. Nea was always a rebellious person, finding her place in the skate parks and urban scene of her hometown. With cat-like reflexes and streetwise skills, she is good at both hiding and surviving in Dead by Daylight.
Zarina Kassir from Dead by Daylight
Zarina Kassir is a plucky documentarian who found herself pulled into the realm of the Entity while investigating the prison where the Deathslinger was once imprisoned prior to his death. She now uses her skills to go unnoticed, distract the killers, and heal those who are in danger.
Nemesis from Resident Evil 3
In Resident Evil 3, Nemesis debuted as the main villain, and has made appearances in later RE titles and Dead by Daylight. The Nemesis-T Type as it’s called, is a hulking monster that has superior intelligence to the other zombies in the series, and can even use weapons against you. The Nemesis was conceived when a Tyrant bioweapon humanoid was infected with the Nemesis Alpha parasite to boost its intelligence.
Cybil Bennett from Silent Hill
In Silent Hill, Cybil Bennett is a hard-nosed police officer from a town neighboring Silent Hill. She’s skeptical that anything occult or paranormal is happening there, instead believing that the believers are crazy or on drugs. Cybil also makes an appearance in Dead by Daylight as a reskin of Cheryl Mason.
Jeff Johansen from Dead by Daylight
Jeff Johansen is a metalhead and artist who got his start designing a mural for the Legion in Dead by Daylight. Jeff’s intimidating look is capped off with a scar over his left eye which he sustained during a fight at a music show. Despite his stature, Jeff’s personality is far more caring and helps him and his fellow survivors stay alive. While Jeff’s specific shirt is available for purchase, you could use any shirt depicting a heavy metal group, especially if you are a fan of a specific band.
Jake Park from Dead by Daylight
After being disowned by his rich family, Jake Park became a quiet survivalist, choosing to leave his life of privilege behind in favor of living off the grid. As one of the original quartet of survivors in Dead by Daylight, he now uses his iron will, calm spirit, and knowledge of mechanics to survive against killers in the realms of the Entity.
