Today's Halloween costume post features the scariest non-zombie movie villain since Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrence in the Shining. Lisa Rowe, "charming sociopath," played by Angelina Jolie from Girl, Interrupted, is the perfect obscure film reference costume for those of you who, like me, still want to portray someone scary for Halloween. The climax scene of the film had me genuinely terrified, even more than the Carrie finale in fact. Watching Lisa stalk Joanna (Winona Rider) through the basement corridors of that freaky mental hospital, making these aweful echo-y yells had me figuratively peeing my pants.
To achieve the Lisa Rowe "original heroine-chic" look, this is what it's going to take: 1. ratty old thrift store t-shirt- marigold yellow is ideal. You can even make a 'US ARMY' stencil diy or something if you, like me, are super into this idea. 2. Monochrome makeup featuring Wendy Torrence-esque eye contours and sallow complexion. Don't forget to pout your lips, apply concealer, then apply some reddish colour to the inner part of your lip- PERFECTLY CHAPPED. 3. 70s swagger details like flare chords (ratty sweats work as well), sunglasses, shaggy fur jacket, whatever. 4. Finishing touches: medical bracelets, tangled hair, and some needle marks and bruises that make the ideal junkie arms. Voila. You'll have everyone saying "That's a scary mask bro."
