Jack Skellington was one of the main and popular characters in the movie The nightmare before Christmas. This kind of outfit is really a good choice for adults and it is not scary enough to frighten any young kids. You can find this costume at many online websites that carry costumes or if you like to be creative, then you could also make and design your own.
Find yourself a tight black pinstripe suit that has a coat tail. You can find this type of garment at many vintage shops. Be sure to get one that is a single breasted jacket and has a deep v neck. If you are unable to find a slim fitted one, then just get the next smaller size that is available. You shall want to wear a white dress shirt under the pinstripe jacket.
Get yourself some black construction paper or even a black cardboard box will be good enough. Then out a bat that will need to have six wings. Then use some white out a white marker or even some white paint so to draw each wing just like it was on the character Jack Skellingotns tie.
You could purchase a small bats head from any costume shop and then with the use of some glue, place it on the center of the tie and then just pin this tie to the outfit.
Now you shall want to have the look of this character just as he was in the movie, so next you will want to apply some white makeup to your entire face, hands and also any other areas that will be visible.
Now you will need some black eye liner or more make up so to circle the eyes. Be sure to cover the eye lids with the black make up and also the area that is under your eyes so to form the obvious circles. Now you shall need to insert some black out contact lenses right into your eyes. With this kind of combination it will provide you with a look of having scary hallow eye sockets.
The very next thing that you shall want to do for this wonderful costume is to coat your lips with some black lipstick and also use some eye liner or more black make up so to draw the bone joints on the hands and also some stitches right at the corner of your mouth. Now you need to place some stitches right above the lips and then across the entire length of the cheek bones. You will want to space them about one inch apart from one another.
Now one of the final parts will be the hair. Should you have short hair, then just sprinkle some baby powder on it so to whiten it or even use a can of white hair color. Should you have long hair, then just pin it up and sue a white shower cap or even a beanie will be good enough. After all that all that is left is for you to wear some shiny black shores and you will be ready to become Jack Skellington, the villain for one night.
