3. American Psycho
Arguably one of the best-known black comedy – horror movies in the world, 2000’s American Psycho features the famous Christian Bale in the chilling role of Patrick Bateman, a serial killer and businessman. You can probably pull the costume off even if you choose to dress up in a smart suit and slick your hair back, but not everyone will recognize you. If you want to be an instant hit, just pick a white transparent rain coat, some fake blood, and a toy axe. Pull some crazy faces, and you’re done.
2. The Joker
Is there anyone in the world who hasn’t heard of the Joker? The DC supervillain loves to make Batman’s life a living hell and his appearance is quite striking, which means you’ll instantly be recognized. Over the years, the character has been brilliantly played by actors such as Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and, most recently, Jared Leto, each managing to capture a specific set of personality traits. Dressing up as the Joker is a bit of work, but not that much. All you need is some purple pants and jacket, a shirt, a green vest and loads of face paint, plus some red lipstick.
