Addison Halloween Costumes. Addison is the main character of the film, and a human who goes to Seabrook High. She’s known for her nice, kindhearted attitude, and no one knows that she wears a blonde wig to cover up her naturally white hair. She immediately falls for Zed, even after realizing he’s a zombie.

The costume is very nicely done. I got many compliments on it. I'm giving it only four stars because (as other reviewers stated), the mask is only a partial and the costume is a little small (I'm about 6ft, 180lbs). The mask is literally flat (practically) and simply lays over your face. There should be strings that hold the mask to your face (which would allow you to stay cooler) or the mask should be expanded to actually fit over your head (but this would make it warmer). Since the wig can be made to have the hair fall next to your face, I think the company should opt for strings to pull the mask to your face to help keep you cooler.
Other than this, it's a great creepy costume. Well, my daughter loves it. She has become a zombie fanatic.It is fine. It does NOT come with the tights and that was a disappointment, so we will be using some old tights of hers. The blood on it does not look real (I am not sure how they could do that). I am ordering some fake blood to splash on it.
The skirt needs to be torn up a bit, as for my daughter, it looks too nice for a zombie. The tie is a stretchy hing, so it fits right over the neck. It doesn't look as it does in the picture but it is fine.I would recommend it, with some personalized tweaks.
