Carbon Costume

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.

It’s never good when one person is judge and jury. Even worse when they’re the executioner too. But Joe Owens (played by Lee Tergesen) doesn’t see it that way. Not during The Purge.

The Purge isn’t real but Joe Owens still makes for a fearsome cosplay.  Black combat boots, black tactical pants, and a black canvas jacket under a black paintball vest are great pieces that can easily transition into other costumes. Even the prop shotgun can be used again and again. His mask, however, is a DIY project all itself. There aren’t any listed pre-made but one can be fashioned using EVA foam.
