Character: Carrie
Movie: Carrie

What you'll need:

• Strappy prom dress
• Tiara
• Corsage
• Bucket of fake blood
• Crazed, wide-eyed stare
• Telekinetic powers (optional)

Few images are as evocative as that of poor, disturbed Carrie White, drenched in pig blood at her high school prom. Relive Stephen King’s terrifying ode to every girl’s rite of passage into womanhood with your own Carrie costume this Halloween! The only catch -- you’ll need a dress you don’t mind ruining with a bucketful of red goo, because you probably won’t be wearing it again for date night. Opt for a strappy, satiny number with a matching corsage, and proudly place a tiara on your head. Then, douse yourself head-to-toe with fake blood, open your eyes as wide as Sissy Spacek’s peepers, and let the fireworks fly!

Classic line: "They’re all gonna laugh at you."
