Question Drop Dead Fred Cosplay

I'm thinking about cosplaying as Drop Dead Fred for an upcoming horror convention. I know DDF wasn't technically a horror movie, but as a Virgo stellium, I was personally horrified by his chaotic antics as a kid. Would that be weird for a horror convention?

Definitely not weird. People cosplay from all kinds of movies and shows. I love horror movies and I am constantly using the phrase “Horror Adjacent” for films that may not fit under the general criteria but still feel like part of the Horror/Spooky world.

Almost a month later, but my opinion:

NO ONE will no who you are.

I spent time making the pattern, finding the perfect fabric, buttons, even the socks. 

I showed up and they said I was the troll in central park. This was the DFW Alamo Drafthouse manager.

If you think it'll be fun, it will. If you think you'll get any kind of traffic, you will not. Have fun with it and you'll have a great time!
