About this costume

Always the last one standing, somehow - the Final Girl costume is the horror-movie Halloween costume idea for teens and adults who've watched one too many slashers. Torn flannel, smudged stage blood, and a flickering flashlight make this an instantly recognizable scary Halloween costume.

DIY this look

The Final Girl costume idea is the rare scary Halloween costume you can build entirely from laundry you were already going to retire.
  1. Wear the distressed flannel over a plain t-shirt and jeans.
  2. Smudge the stage blood kit along one sleeve and across the collar - less is scarier than more.
  3. Mess up your hair and keep one shoe slightly untied.
  4. Carry the flashlight angled up at your own face for every photo.
