Veronica Sawyer, Heathers

  • What to wear: Heathers is a veritable treasure trove of Halloween ideas, but Ryder's character is definitely the most fun. Wear a gray cardigan or a blazer with raging shoulder pads, a black tank top or an oversize blue t-shirt, a colorful (or plaid) skirt, and a shoulder-length, brown bobbed wig. If you want to be postexplosion Veronica, tease out your hair to make it look crazy and disheveled, smear fake blood and black eye shadow (aka soot) on your face, and put a fake cigarette between your lips. Don't forget to wear a red scrunchie on your wrist, either.
  • How to act: Sarcastic and devoid of any and all patience.
