The world famous San Diego Comic Con took place this weekend. With all the anime, horror, and science fiction news that flooded the internet every day, it’s easy to overlook one of the biggest draws of the event – the cosplayers! If you’ve never heard the term before, a cosplayer is – as defined by Wikipedia – a person who wears costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character or idea that is usually identified with a unique name.
Horror cosplay seems to be quite popular amongst the cosplaying community, and I find it particularly interesting that female cosplayers are able to gender bend and create costumes based on male characters. You never saw that on, “Heroes of Cosplay” on SyFy, did you? Well, I decided to search out some of the best female cosplayers who portrayed famous horror film slashers. These pictures/costumes are not from this weekend’s Comic Con, specifically, but more-so just a gallery of some of the best the internet has to offer.
Also, I know Ash, Edward Scissor Hands, and the Governor aren’t famous slashers, but I wanted to include them anyway.
I really enjoyed Pyramid Head in “Silent Night”…. oh no wait…
haha I did not catch that typo!
