Halsey’s Corpse Bride Halloween Costume Has Fans Shrieking

Halsey put together an amazing Halloween costume this weekend, dressing up as Emily from Tim Burton‘s Corpse Bride for her Instagram followers. The singer went all out with blue makeup, contouring and costume, even with nowhere to go to show her creation off. Fans of the singer were overcome by the display.

Halsey posted four pictures of her Corpse Bride costume on social media this week, testing out different expressions with the makeup arrangement. She included a shot of the original stop-motion character as well for reference. Before long, the comment sections filled with praise and adulation for the singer, who played the part perfectly.

For those that don’t remember, Corpse Bride is a 2005 film co-directed by Burton and Mike Johnson. It stars Helena Bonham Carter as Emily — a woman murdered and buried in a wedding dress — and Johnny Depp as Victor Van Dort — an anxious young suitor who accidentally marries her. Halsey was clearly a fan of the movie, quoting a line from it in the caption of her Instagram posts.
