Research (Costumes) -

FREDDY KRUEGER
Freddy Krueger is known as the 'Teenager killer'.
The costume he is wearing explains allot of things, like the jumper he is wearing looks like it could belong to a teenager so he could of took it of someone he has killed. The jumper is also very torn/distressed and ripped. This shows that he must wear this outfit allot and the fact that it is so ripped and distressed means he must be doing something that involved violence.
The colours on the jumper are also very useful, the red shows a sign of blood and the dark green/blue gives a kind of dark feel to the character.
The hat he is wearing is black which is also another dark colour and the hat seems to be worn to cover his head, and as the rest of his skin seems to be in a bad state it could be like that on his head also. The hat can also be worn to cover a bit of his face at the front as it shadows over him.
The plain black shoes and trousers give the character a human kind of look, as if to say this man was once a normal person. It seems strange as the trousers and shoes seem to be in perfect condition.
His skin is very torn and fleshy which shows the kind of unrealistic non-human side to this character. The fact that he could of been a normal human being once and now hat his skin is like this shows that something happened to him so for example he could of got burnt or something like that.
On Freddy's right hand there is a glove/knife fingered hand on him. The fact that this is only on one hand again gives a human feel to this as his other hand is normal apart from the disgusting skin on it. The glove and scissors are obviously used as a weapon of some sort because it would be weird for him to be using it for any other purpose. It also draws the audience in as they will want to see how he uses this hand to his advantage.
Overall i think the costume was well thought about as it relates to teenagers as well as real life human beings which in a way scares people.
