What’s more fun then watching a movie with friends? Dressing up as the characters from the movie! So before throwing a V for Vendetta movie viewing party, be sure to have your
Guy Fawkes masks and
V for Vendetta wigs!
The popular movie V for Vendetta, starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving, is about a vigilante known as “V” who fights for freedom in a futuristic fascist Great Britain. The story was adapted from the Allan Moore graphic novel of the same title. Like many other comic book heroes, “V” too has a mask to conceal is true identity. He wears a Guy Fawkes mask.
The Guy Fawkes mask, also known as the
V for Vendetta mask since the release of the film, resembles the historic revolutionary Guy Fawkes who was part of a group who attempted the assassination of King James I in 1605. The group tried this plot, known as the Gunpowder Conspiracy, because of the discrimination toward English Roman Catholics. Fawkes is also mentioned in the movie V for Vendetta.
The movie, released in 2005, helped to make the Guy Fawkes mask and the
V for Vendetta wig more popular in the United States.
Now you too can take on the movie fun by dressing up like “V” from the feature film! The
V for Vendetta mask features a mustache and goatee on a smiling white face with rosy cheeks. This plastic mask comes in one standard size so that anyone can take on the look of the movie’s vigilante. The V for Vendetta wig includes a long, straight black wig. The wig also comes in one size, intended to fit most adults.
In the action thriller movie, “V” also wears black gloves, boots, a tunic, black pants and a cape which may help complete your costume along with the V for Vendetta wig and the
Guy Fawkes mask. Or you can dress up as Guy Fawkes from which the comic was inspired.
Having a Guy Fawkes mask and V for Vendetta wig could be used when throwing a V for Vendetta movie party, when celebrating Guy Fawkes day on November 5, or just to complete this year’s Halloween costume!
