Cosplay/er Signature Models is a unique community-driven initiative that allows fans, cosplayers, photographers, makeup artists, and creators to help build the visual identity of the movie. Combining horror, cosplay culture, practical effects, fashion-inspired imagery, and creative collaboration, Signature Models transforms promotional photography into an opportunity for the community to actively participate in the growing world surrounding the film. Learn more below on how to participate as a creator and as a model.
The Signature Model blends glamour, beauty, fashion-inspired photography, and practical horror effects into a single visual concept. Inspired by both slasher films and high-fashion imagery, the look is designed to be unsettling, memorable, and instantly recognizable within the world of Cosplay/er. Rather than focusing on gore alone, the concept emphasizes contrast—the elegance of the model against the violence suggested by the effect—creating imagery that feels cinematic, dramatic, and uniquely connected to the film’s identity.
Participating is simple. Recreate the look (models in this blog and on the website are Cosplay/er Signature Models). Post your photos on social media and tag us on Instagram and Facebook — we’ll share.
Use your own supplies, or The Cos Shop, our official makeup/SFX supplier, offers the prosthetic and supplies needed as part of their Cosplay/er Signature Model Collection – click here.
We recommend reviewing our Creative Reference Guide, which will provide direction for the model and photographer. Whether you’re a cosplayer, photographer, makeup artist, or a creator who wears all of those hats, we hope to see your interpretation of the Cosplay/er Signature Model.
