80s Fatal Attraction Costume Idea
Fatal Attraction was one of the most frightening movies of 1987 – hands down. Between the boiling of the bunny, the kidnapping, and the comeback at the end after you think she’s dead, this 80s movie had married men everywhere thinking twice about one night stands. Nominated for an amazing 6 Oscars (although it didn’t win any), this is an iconic movie with an unforgettable character (Alex Forrest) done brilliantly by Glenn Close. If...
Bernie Lomax from Weekend at Bernie’s 80s Costume
By Lori Ferraro Ask me what my favorite 80s movie about two guys who go to their bosses beach house for the weekend only to discover he’s dead and the two guys have to spend the entire weekend pretending he’s alive by maneuvering his corpse like a marionette is, and I will always say: WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S. http://youtu.be/YCTgcZ6ImsQ Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman star in this 1989 gem that Siskel and Ebert hated but I along...
Jack Burton Costume, Big Trouble in Little China
What better excuse for an 80s mullet than Kurt Russell’s classic role in “Big Trouble in Little China.” Pulling this 80s costume together is so easy.

You’ll want to be sure to tuck your jeans into your boots, otherwise you won’t be capturing the full cheese factor. Again, a mullet and a knife – nuf...
Stiles from Teen Wolf 80s Costume
Everyone needs a sidekick, and Scott’s sidekick in Teen Wolf, Rupert “Stiles” Stilinski, is a classic. He’s got the verve to help Scott Howard (played by Michael J. Fox) make the most of his new-found wolfiness. His personal style and mannerisms make a fun and over the top costume for your next 80s party or Halloween. Just be careful when you hit the roof to go “Surfin USA.” This 1985 cinematic treasure doesn’t get the props it...
Chris Knight of Real Genius 80s Costume Idea
The good folks at Found Item Clothing developed this costume, and we are sure glad they did. 1985’s “Real Genius” was a great movie. Directed by Martha Coolidge (also director of Valley Girl), this movie has it all — love, coming of age, action, good defeating evil and the likes of both Deborah Foreman and Val Kilmer (playing the lead role as Chris Knight). Val Kilmer is a pleasure even if he had the IQ of a door, but make him a...
