How to Make Halloween Costumes of Horror Movie Villains

Your Motivation: You are Chucky, a serial killer whose soul is trapped inside a doll (don't ask). Due to some voodoo fine print, you have to transfer your soul into the body of the first person you reveal your true identity to, but you're free to kill everybody else.

Key Characteristics: Red hair, blue overalls, tiny plastic body, anger management issues, rabid desire to kill.

Typical Dialogue: "Ade due Damballa. Give me the power, I beg of you!" Repeat this voodoo spell over and over until you're blue in the face, because Chucky can never get it to work in time to transfer his soul into someone else.

How to Achieve the Look*: Either stunt your growth with cigarettes and coffee or saw off your legs below the knee. In either case, make sure you have health insurance.

The Easy Way Out: Compare prices on Chucky costumes
