SHAME! Enjoy Halloween this Year with the DIY Game of Thrones Shame Costume
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The leaves are just now starting to turn from green to gold and orange, and that means that October is nigh upon us. And when October comes, it brings Halloween in all it’s glorious fun. This year, when you’re carefully selecting which costume you’ll be donning for your annual Halloween party(ies), keep in mind that Game of Thrones Season 5 gave us one iconic scene from which endless hours of Halloween hilarity can be had: Cersei’s Walk of Shame.
HalloweenCostumes.com has just released their do-it-yourself Game of Thrones shame costume, and it’s surprisingly easy to assemble. You’ll need a partner, so guys, this is the perfect time to shame your wife…I’m kidding. I immediately regret saying that. In fact, guys, you should go as Cersei. Here’s a list of what you’ll need to put the whole costume together.
- Inflatable Doll Costume
- Blonde Mullet Wig
- Theatrical Blood
- Pieces of Wood
- Black Spray Paint
- Fishing Line – Sold separately
- Airbrush Gun – Optional
Here’s where the instructions (directly from HalloweenCostumes.com) get hilarious. As you can see, they includes chopping, bloodying, and censoring. These are three things that I swore I would never do
again
, but I might make an exception for Halloween.
STEP 1 – CUT IT!
"Take that mullet wig of yours and you will see how perfect it is for the hack job they gave poor Cersei. Chop, chop, chop away! And remember, this doesn’t need to be clean. Cut with reckless abandon, but don’t cut it too short. That’s about all that could go wrong here."
STEP 2 – BLOODY IT!
"We used a small airbrush spray gun to apply the blood, but you get the idea. This could be done pretty easily even by simply blotting and spraying the blood on with a straw or brush. If you want to chuck tomatoes and other food stuff at it, do it up! Either way, you want to look like you just finished the worst walk of shame of your entire life, so make it nasty and people will get the idea."
STEP 3 – CENSOR IT!
"Obviously Cersei was entirely naked in this scene – well, her body double was anyway – but we thought it would be funny to really call out the “Look, I’m naked!” theme with some “censor bars” cut from from 2 x 2 boards we had lying around. Once cut, just spray paint the boards black, allow them to dry thoroughly, and tie on some fishing line to drape over the neck. You might also consider adding some cushion on the neck where the fishing line meets the skin. We found it had a tendency to grind into the skin quite uncomfortably. Now you are almost ready to SHAME it up!"
Now, it’s time to assemble your Septa Unella, or as the rest of the world knows her, the Shame Nun.
- Cowl From Sinister Sister Costume
- Friar Tuck Costume
- Bell – THE MOST IMPORTANT PART—Sold Separately
That’s it! Once you’ve got your broken and filthy Cersei, naked as her name day, ready to atone for her sins (because “she’s been f@*king Lancel and Osmund Kettleblack and probably Moon Boy for all I know“) and prepared your Shame Nun, bell in hand, you’re ready to go and have a great Halloween night…or not, because SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
