Horror fans seem to top themselves each and every Halloween season with the incredible costumes they put together and share on social media, and this year was no exception.
One of this year’s coolest costumes comes courtesy of Whoa Gilly over on TikTok, and it’s based on the iconic transformation scene from An American Werewolf in London.
But what’s particularly special about the costume is that it actually, well, transforms!
What starts out as a simple David Kessler Halloween costume quickly reveals itself to be something much more, as Whoa Gilly found a clever way to use homemade practical effects to turn from Human David into Werewolf David in a flash. Underneath the David mask is a half-werewolf mask, and underneath David’s famous red jacket is a hairy werewolf chest and arms.
After the human face has been ripped off and the jacket torn away, the final stage of the transformation is a full-headed werewolf mask that completes the look of the Kessler Wolf.
The costume is a tribute not just to An American Werewolf in London but more specifically to Rick Baker’s Academy Award-winning effects work for the film, and it’s the very definition of “going the extra mile” for Halloween. You can watch the full multi-stage transformation below!
