Carbon Costume slasher
The Miner from My Bloody Valentine
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.
Mackenzie Carpenter from Drive Thru
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.

On the very day the Mickey Mouse short entered the public domain – January 1, 2024 – a trailer for a horror slasher called Mickey’s Mouse Trap dropped, continuing the tradition of the previous year’s Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey. In the film, a killer masked as Mickey Mouse (Simon Phillips) stalks victims at a late-night birthday party in an amusement park. To take your costume from mascot to monster, cut out or black out the eye holes of your rubber Mickey mask.
