Two Edward Scissorhands Cosplays, One Cosplayer – Get You Someone Who Can Do Both
We continue our celebration of the marvelously macabre with a timeless classic. This Edward Scissorhands cosplay has some serious edge.
It’s Cos-tober! That’s right, I made that up. But it’s October: time for candy, pumpkin-flavored everything, and a blatant excuse to feature the best this horrifying holiday season has to offer. We are here to feature the spookiest, scariest, and the best (and worst) horror and horror-adjacent cosplays. Lock the doors and look over your shoulder–let’s get spoopy!
Tim Burton is a master of the macabre. His catalog of movies encompasses the gross, grotesque, odd and slightly deranged, and his movies are well-loved because of it. Nobody has the distinctive talent of making the odd seem glamorous and approachable that Tim Burton’s films have.
This week we’re here to celebrate one of the most well-loved of his movies, with this epic Edward Scissorhands cosplay duo!
It’s a gothic tale of boy-meets-Avon-Lady, who takes him home to her family and introduces him to her daughter, who naturally falls in love with a boy. And the rest is history. With Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder at the helm, this star-crossed love story is a cult classic for the Halloween season. Today, we’re featuring an astonishingly good couples’ cosplay… with a twist!
Alyson Tabbitha is the unchallenged queen of transformation. Her abilities with makeup and special effects are uncanny. There is no character she cannot perfectly create, and this week’s feature is no exception.
Not only does she pull off a perfect Edward Scissorhands cosplay, but she ALSO cosplays as Kim Boggs! That’s right, folks. Both of these cosplays are the same person, transformed with some photographic magic. An epic collaboration, if we do say so ourselves!
Alyson Tabbitha
Kim: “You’re here… They didn’t hurt you, did they?”
“We’re not sheep.”
“It must have been awful when they told you whose house it was.”
Kim Boggs: “Hold me.”
Edward Scissorhands: “I can’t…”
Kim: “Snuggle in, sweetie. It’s cold out there.”
Granddaughter: “Why is it snowing, Grandma? Where does it come from?”
Kim: “Oh, that’s a long story, sweetheart…”
“You see, before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. If he weren’t up there now… I don’t think it would be snowing. Sometimes, you can still catch me dancing in it.”
“I didn’t mean to cut your face.”
” I am not complete.”
Kim: “Edward, I was so afraid. I thought you were dead.”
” I thought this was shish kabob.”
“Kevin, you wanna play scissors, paper, stone again?”
