The 'After Credits' editorial team decided to get together for the holiday of All Saints – Halloween.
The authors shared their ideal Halloween looks this year. And in the comments, we invite you to share which look you would choose this year and why. A Little Party Never Killed Nobody!
Varvara Ulianenok — Winifred Sanderson

I spent a long time choosing between the creepy Blind Mag from "Repo! The Genetic Opera" and the amazing combination of chaos and charisma also known as Winifred Sanderson. Winnie won for several reasons listed below.
On the one hand, a devilishly cruel Salem witch who kills children and worships Satan is the perfect Halloween character. On the other hand, Bette Midler's overwhelming charm perfectly balances the mischief (meaning I'll have to really try in terms of theatricality, challenge accepted), and the bright, interesting look helps you stand out from the crowd and attract attention. I love that.
As a bonus, at any point during the party you can put on a spontaneous musical number. The main thing is to get the DJ on board.
Roman Kovalev — Constantine
My choice is Constantine. The one who is the Master of Darkness. The one who is not afraid of the demons themselves. I share with the character a certain tendency towards fatalism and a degree of detachment. But both he and I are completely devoted to our beloved work.
And this Halloween look, it seems to me, is outwardly simple but very much in the spirit of the holiday.

Valeria Fomina — Cruella

Emma Stone is an exceptional actress. She can equally play a femme fatale hunting gangsters or a genius madly (literally) in love with fashion.
I'm talking about her portrayal of Cruella, the evil aunt obsessed with dalmatians from the childhood cartoon. Only in Emma's version did we learn about the making of this villainess. And how deftly the actress handled this role. Her natural craziness in her eyes undoubtedly helped her embody the character. In the film, the heroine was revealed brilliantly. Her actions are interesting to watch, her deeds can be condemned, but at the same time you understand what led to them, and you empathize with the character. And isn't that one of the main tasks of a film, to make the audience fall in love with the hero?
Cruella's outfits amaze with their beauty and virtuosity of presentation. But the most spectacular, in my opinion, was the dress that turns from white to red by burning. I would gladly dress up in that for a movie Halloween party!
Zhenya Smykova — Lois Lane
Is our editorial team planning a party? Can I choose any look? So why not be a super journalist?! In that case, the Lois Lane look suggests itself.
When I took up journalism, I started thinking about what kind of author I should become. And it was right around that time that the movie "Man of Steel" came out. A red-haired beauty, ready to go all the way. She is respected by her colleagues, her words are listened to. Oh, and the main bonus is a handsome boyfriend Clark Kent, who looks either like a dashing British actor or Superman. What's not ideal?
By the way, can I have your comment on the topic of the article?

Larisa Polshikova — Scarlet Witch

If Marvel didn't succeed, I will – to make the Scarlet Witch a true Halloween anti-heroine. Besides, she is a witch after all, and she would definitely have her own sabbath.
In many ways, Wanda is unique: she grew and developed like no other character in the cinematic universe. She received the most emotional and physical trauma, pain, and loss – which already sounds dark enough. No? Then let's add the fact that her Scarlet Witch incarnation has more power than anyone else right now. She is daring and deadly. Admit it, when she killed the Illuminati, were you rooting for her?
I love antagonists in stories. They always evoke an inner conflict in you, and on top of everything else, the Scarlet Witch allows herself to give in to her darkest desires. Plus, I love the color red.
Nadezhda Vasilyeva — Darkwing Duck
Long ago, when Russian television wasn't so "conscious," once a week on weekends, the then-channel ORT aired the Disney cartoon "Darkwing Duck." A duck in a cape and wide-brimmed hat ran around the city of St. Canard and protected it from villains. And like all serious superheroes, he had a support group in the form of a restless pilot (also a duck) Launchpad McQuack and an assistant-daughter (a duck) Gosalyn.
As a child, I tried not to miss a single episode. And I liked the duck in the cape and hat so much that I rummaged through my father's wardrobe and took a huge black jacket and an old hat for myself. In that outfit, I would sit in front of the TV and for 20 minutes escape the harsh reality where ducks don't fly planes and don't save entire cities. I liked the show's opening the most, as well as the city's design, which reminded me of New York (which I was obsessed with as a child).
I didn't always understand the jokes, but I loved the spirit of superhero adventures, and I liked "Darkwing" himself, who sometimes reminded me of Batman (whom I loved). And it's no coincidence, because, as it turned out, the creators intended the cartoon as a parody of the "Bat" movies.
By the way, "Darkwing Duck" was one of those Disney projects (they didn't know yet that they would buy Marvel) that expanded the unified duck universe. The idea for this cartoon came from "DuckTales," from which the character Launchpad McQuack originated.

and is spawned by Disney.
Evgeny Belousov — Leprechaun

otherwise I can't vouch for myself.
Honestly, I thought for a very long time about what to wear to the editorial team's virtual party. I considered different looks: from cool superheroes and equally cool anime characters to ordinary people in ordinary clothes. But you can't run away from yourself. So I chose the Leprechaun costume from the eponymous slasher franchise, started by the 1993 film, starring Warwick Davis and the beloved by many Jennifer Aniston.
Firstly, I objectively look like the character. I'm short, red-haired, and I kill everyone for my gold. Just kidding. I'm not red-haired. Secondly, the Leprechaun loves to talk nonsense and laugh about it. He's constantly talking to himself while chasing his victims. That's just me among our editorial team, only I don't plan to kill the guys. Well, on the other hand, they didn't steal my gold either, right? Actually, I sincerely love the first film and Warwick Davis in this role. Yes, it's a mediocre film, but have you seen the look?! It's magnificent. Who even thought of turning a good-natured mythological character into a maniac killer? Shake that person's hand.
I remember when I was about 12, I stumbled upon a scene from the sixth part of the franchise on TV, where the Leprechaun plunges his hand with sharp nails into someone's stomach, and when pulling it out, grabs some organ. Quite an impression for a child. Real movie magic. I didn't sleep for a week because of nightmares. But a year or a year and a half later, stumbling upon the first part and falling in love with it, I decided to overcome my fear and watch all the others. Unfortunately, it turned out they weren't as interesting or scary as the scene I saw, but I still really like the first film. I think Davis played the Leprechaun incredibly cool. Be sure to watch it this Halloween or next St. Patrick's Day.
Let's expand our party — we're waiting for your looks in the comments.
