The Invisible Man wore black sunglasses in the 1933 movie.

"The Invisible Man" is both a novel written by H.G. Wells in 1987 and a 1933 science-fiction film based upon the book. The lead character is a scientist named Jack Griffin who develops a way to turn himself invisible, then finds that he cannot undo his experiment. The reality of being invisible indefinitely drives him insane, resulting in a murderous rampage toward the end of the story. Dressing up as the Invisible Man makes both an interesting and inexpensive Halloween costume.

Tip

Carry a vintage-looking cane with you as you wear your costume.

The components of your costume can be found at many thrift stores for low prices.

White crepe paper streamer can be used in place of gauze. Secure with tape and be more careful as it rips easily.
