Want to wear a Riff Raff Costume this halloween!

Bless his heart but Riff Raff is just one ugly dude! But he is also one of the other main male characters in the Rocky Horror Picture Show Movie and a very important one at that.

And even though he is very thin and has stringy, long blonde hair on the back and sides of his head, he is bald everywhere else – kind of like a modified mullet of some sort.

Now, not everyone has that hair-do, and if you’re “mullet deprived” then maybe you’d like to buy an actual Riff Raff wig for the perfect addition to this outfit.

Because if you don’t get the hair style just right, then you’re just going to be a butler or some other type of servant. But if you wear the right hairstyle , everyone will know who you are right away in your perfect Riff Raff costume. Riff Raff Wig

Riff Raff is also really, really pale and looks pretty haggard and very unhealthy. He looks like a man who’s been sick a really, really long time.

Using makeup add realistic looking bruises and bags under your eyes for a unique effect when creating your own Riff Raff costume.

“He’s a credit to your genius, Master.”

The Riff Raff costume above includes a black tailcoat, pants, spats, white shirt front and black fingerless gloves. Also, this Rocky Horror Picture Show costume comes in the adult sizes of both Standard and X-Large.

For a perfect Riff Raff costume, you’ll also need to wear a dirty looking, old  white dress shirt – wear it with several buttons open for an even more realistic looking effect to show off that scrawny white chest. A pair of black fingerless gloves, and black shoes with spats would complete the look and then you’re all ready to go.

Frank N Furter

One of the most well known and iconic characters in the entire Rocky Horror Picture Show experience has to be, without a doubt, the one and only, Dr. Frank N. Furter!

Although he wears several costumes  during the movie, there is one look that will never be forgotten: the sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania.

Frankie’s “Sweet T” costume to the left includes a vest, black briefs with garters attached, black arm mitts and even a pair of fishnet stockings. And this look is available for adults in Standard and X-Large sizes. Wig, pearls, shoes and ankle bracelet not included.

“In just seven days, I can make you a man.”

So what exactly do you need for an authentic Frank-n-Furter costume? Well, for one thing a nice, short curly black wig is necessary (unless you’re lucky enough to have curly black hair in the first place). Next, you’ll need bright blue eye shadow and red lipstick – tastefully done of course  :) ! Ignore these small details and your costume will fail.

What else?  Well, specifically you’ll need black panties and a black vest or maybe even a lace up bustier. Oh yes, don’t forget the big oversized white pearl necklace. You’ll complete the look with a pair of black fishnet stockings, long black, but fingerless, gloves and a pair of heavy big black shoes.

Last but not least, any “real” Frank n Furter costume will need finishing up with makeup – including heavy black eyeliner, a pale powder for the face and a nicely done blush.

So, get your “Frank on” and have yourself a very scary Halloween.
