Your Back Story: Having been raised by a domineering aunt after the death of your father in a motor boat accident, you are painfully shy and introverted, making you an easy target for bullies at summer camp. But unbeknownst to them, you have an ace up your sleeve (SPOILER ALERT) -- you're a killer -- and one in your pants (BIG SPOILER ALERT): you're a dude.

What You Need for a Costume:

  • Shoulder-length brunette wig with '80s bangs
  • '80s short shorts and white Camp Arawak t-shirt
  • Bloody (toy) butcher knife
  • Mannequin head (doubling for decapitated head of boyfriend)
  • Rolled-up tube sock, strategically placed

How to Act*: Be timid and mute, sitting and staring at people silently. When someone comments on your odd behavior, bulge your eyes, bare your teeth menacingly and let out an ungodly screech as you lunge at them with the knife. If time permits, strip naked.

*For entertainment purposes. Use common sense, people.
