Ashley "Ash" Williams Costume

I dressed up as my, and my father's, favorite horror movie anti-hero, Ash Williams from the Evil Dead franchise. I grew up around horror movies, but Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness were the ones we watched over and over. Now that a show has been created based off the original character called Ash vs. The Evil Dead, I thought it would be the perfect time to dress up as him! I shopped at multiple clothing stores trying to find a shirt just blue enough and shorts the perfect shade of brown, as I chose to be a more feminine version of the character. I did my own make up, which truly is not down enough justice in the photos. My mom sewed together strips of leather to create the shotgun holster, and my dad stripped the inside of a prop chainsaw and painted it to create the chainsaw hand. I did my best to take what I could from the original character like the blue button up, brown pants (shorts), gun holster and chainsaw, and even the eyebrow cut. I wanted to be an Ash Williams unique to me because while he may be the funniest hero I have ever had the pleasure of watching, I am my own, sarcastic, witty hero.
