Loners from S.T.A.L.K.E.R

Loners are the post-fallout survivors that don’t ascribe to any faction in the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Set an an alternate history and taking place in the area around Chernobyl, each letter in the title stands for one faction of the society in The Zone. And of course Loners, well, work alone.

Loners have many different looks but they all follow a generally militaristic look. This means that most of the pieces for their costume are Army surplus. A tan tactical vest, tan tactical jacket, tan balaclava, camo pants, and tan combat boots make up the body of the costume. Many Loners also wear goggles and fingerless gloves. Accessories can include a gas mask and fake weapon, though be sure to check the costume weapon guidelines at any event you plan on attending!

The Trapper from Dead by Daylight

In the asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight, the Trapper (Evan MacMillan) is one of the three killers along with the Hillbilly and the Wraith. As his name suggests, the Trapper uses his bear trap to capture survivors like Kate Denson. He also has perks to help him, such as unnerving presence, brutal strength, and agitation. With his white mask, unrelenting strength, and crude weaponry, the Trapper is inspired by iconic horror character Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th series.

SCP 049 from SCP Containment Breach

SCP-049 from SCP – Containment Breach

SCP-049 is one of the terrifying creatures catalogued by the SCP Foundation. The SCP Foundation started as a form of online collaborative storytelling and has since morphed into a video game franchise among other things. SCP-049 appears in the game SCP – Containment Breach. It is humanoid and appears dressed as a surgeon from the European medieval era. Unfortunately this is not a doctor that heals. Any human it touches becomes a reanimated corpse that is bound to do the will of SCP-049.

Although SCP-049 is itself largely unknowable – since getting too close can turn you into an undead puppet – dressing up as SCP-049 is relatively easy. All you need is a black hooded cloak or robe, a grey plague doctor mask, black boots, and black gloves. It helps if you make the sleeves of the robe a bit tattered and if you wear black clothing underneath so it seems as if there is nothing under the robe but darkness and void.

James Sunderland

James Sunderland is the main character in the video game Silent Hill 2. On the surface he is a mild-mannered, polite, helpful, empathetic character with the sole intent of finding his wife Mary in Silent Hill. As the game progresses, the player gradually discovered that James has a much darker side and an erratic moral compass. He dresses for the outdoors, in a pocket-filled jacket and jeans along with his trusty flashlight and radio. For the signature patches, pick up some blank patches and paint them with acrylics.

Pyramid Head

A strange, violent, brutal creature in the video game Silent Hill 2, Pyramid Head serves as a mental manifestation of the guilt and anger bottled up inside the main protagonist James Sunderland. The pyramid shaped helmet he wears appears to cause him pain, and he never utters a word except for moans and grunts. His outfit is simple but bloody: a butchers robe, white gloves, a giant knife and the iconic pyramid helmet. Be sure to cover all clothing in a good dose of fake blood.

Claudia Wolf from Silent Hill 3

A priestess of The Order in the third installment of the massively popular Silent Hill video game series, Claudia Wolf seeks to birth God through a teenager named Heather. God, in this game, is an evil creature, but Claudia believes it will cleanse the world of sin. She has a violent, disturbing past with much suffering, and truly wishes to rid the world of it so that no one else can suffer like she did. Although a sympathetic character at times, her fanatical devotion to birthing God is her undoing. She dresses in long black clothing with bare feet – make sure to button up all the way and pop the collar. A touch of grey and black makeup will create that distinctive gaunt look.
