Iconic Beetlejuice Costume: A How-to Guide for Halloween

IT’S SHOWTIME! This Halloween… I’m the ghost with the most, babe. Beetlejuice!

I wore this at 34th Annual Bronx Halloween Parade this past weekend. I always try to find an excuse to wear a suit, no matter the occasion.

BEETLEJUICE COSPLAY

In the image, there's a person standing on a brick pavement with a cheerful demeanor. They are dressed in a unique, bold suit that has black and white vertical stripes, evoking the style of a classic movie character known for his mischievous and whimsical personality. The suit is well-fitted, featuring a blazer and trousers that match in pattern. The person's hair is styled upwards and colored a vibrant green, complementing the theatrical theme of the outfit. Their face is painted white with darkened eyes and a wide, exaggerated smile, adding to the playful and dramatic effect. Behind them is a background of a gated fence and a building with a stone facade, which brings a sense of urbanity to the scene. Their pose and expression suggest confidence and a sense of fun, embodying the spirit of a character who is both entertaining and a bit unconventional.
