Cosplay can Lead to Handcuffs

Cosplayers really love to look authentic, which is why it must be the highest level of compliment to be arrested for looking too threatening – especially if you’re dressed as a militaristic zombie from the Resident Evil franchise.

It happened to one man a few weeks ago, when he was the first to arrive at the Metro Clothing store for a zombie crawl to promote the Crypticon Horror Convention at the Seattle Center the following weekend. Wearing all black, knee pads, a knife, grenade, a gas mask, and carrying what looked to be a machine gun, he frightened the people on the street enough to call the police. At least he won the top prize.

He was dressed as HUNK, a member of the Umbrella Special Forces Unit in Resident Evil 2. If you dare to scare like this guy did, we can make a custom costume of HUNK’s clothing to fit you. But if you’re not quite up to challenging the authorities, you can try some of our other Resident Evil costumes. We have:

Leon Scott Kennedy - from Resident Evil 4, where he has become a special agent for the US government, and is assigned to rescue the newly-elected President's daughter.

Ada Wong - from Resident Evil 4, where she assists Leon in his mission to rescue the new First Daughter, although her true objective is to obtain a sample of the Las Plagas parasites.

Alice - from Resident Evil Extinction, part of the film series based on the video games.

Moon Costumes wants you look authentic, but we don’t want you to get arrested. Cosplay responsibly!
