edward scissorhand History & Costumes

Tim Burton's tragic hero, the unfailingly polite creation of a kindly old toymaker who died before he could replace Edward's scissor-like hands with real hands makes for a charming costume choice.

The highly-detailed Edward Scissorhands costume comes with a high-necked, black, gothic/industrial styled jacket, decorated with zippers, belts, and o-rings to offset the faux-leather material. Also included is a pair of plastic "scissorhands" gloves and a black, choppy wig in the style of Edward's signature coiffure.

Pair the costume with your own black pants and black leather boots. Complete the look with some white face paint, black eyeliner for shadowing and pale pink lipliner to create some strategically placed "cuts" on your face like Johnny Depp's iconic characterization of the sweet-natured Scissorhands.
