Halloween Movie Costumes: Carrie, Chucky, & More
Other than that, I liked it and it was fun, cute look to wear halfway through the week.
Thursday – Casey Becker, Outfit #4 (Scream 1996)
Scream was directed by Wes Craven years after Nightmare on Elm Street took the world by storm. It follows the character of Sidney Prescott, a high school student, who becomes the target of a mysterious killer in a Halloween costume known as Ghostface.
Drew Barrymore’s character appeared less than 15 minutes on screen, but it is the most iconic scene in Scream, as well as the most quoted. Casey Becker’s outfit consists of a loose cream sweater and white jeans.
Recreating Casey Becker’s outfit was both easy and challenging. The easy part was the base of the look. I put together a cropped sweater in a creamy color with a pair of off-white jeans.
The challenging part came with the shoes. Casey is barefoot through the whole scene, so I didn’t know if I should go for a pair of nude mules or white sneakers. I ended up choosing the white high-top Converse, since I thought they would be more ’90s. Finally, I put on red lipstick to match hers.
I adored this look! It was so cute and perfect for fall. Personally, I really liked using lighter colors at a time when every item of clothing seems to be really dark or jewel-toned. It was comfortable, but the sweater was a bit thick for the actual weather we are having.
If I ever wear this one again, it will be during the winter, when it’s a lot colder outside.
Friday – Carrie White, Outfit #5 (Carrie 1976)
Carrie (1976) is the first and best-known adaptation of the Stephen King novel Carrie. It was directed by Brian De Palma and stars Sissy Spacek. Carrie White is a shy, friendless teenage girl who is sheltered by her abusive mother. She has spent her entire life as the town pariah, rejected by her peers and tormented by her mother. However, Carrie has a secret: she has telekinetic powers.
