How to Cosplay the Angry Princess from Thir13en Ghosts
If you’re looking for a cosplay that’s striking, terrifying, and unforgettable, the Angry Princess from Thir13en Ghosts checks all the boxes. With her chilling stare, bloodied body, and tragic backstory, she’s a standout character in horror cinema—and a powerful presence on the convention floor or at any Halloween event.
Cosplaying the Angry Princess isn’t just about shock value. It’s about recreating a look that’s emotionally charged and visually haunting. This guide breaks down everything you need to know to bring her ghostly image to life, from costume hacks and blood effects to white-out contact lenses and nail art that enhances the horror. And EyeCandys has you covered with the lenses and gel nail stickers that make every detail pop.
Who Is the Angry Princess?
In life, she was Dana Newman—a woman who pursued perfection through plastic surgery, only to suffer botched procedures that shattered her self-image. Her final act was one of despair, ending her life in a bathtub. In death, she became the Angry Princess, a ghost consumed by rage and sorrow, haunting the halls of the Glass House with her blood-streaked form and soulless eyes.
Portraying her means embracing an intense emotional core as much as the physical transformation.
Costume Breakdown: Blood, Scars, and Illusions
The Angry Princess is known for her full-body nudity and gruesome appearance. Here’s how to recreate the look with modesty, creativity, and safety:
The Base
-
Nude-toned bodysuit or illusion mesh clothing: Start with a seamless base layer that mimics skin without showing too much. This can be a dance leotard, nude leggings and top, or a sheer mesh bodysuit.
-
Optional wrap or sheer fabric: For comfort and con-safe styling, add a sheer, tattered robe stained with fake blood.
Blood Effects
-
Use gel or stage blood generously across the torso, arms, and legs. Let it drip and smear naturally.
-
Focus around surgical scar areas—chest, stomach, and arms—to match her movie look.
Scars and Wounds
-
Use latex, scar wax, or pre-made silicone scar prosthetics to replicate surgical incisions and self-inflicted wounds.
-
Add shading with red, purple, and brown makeup to make them look fresh and realistic.
Knife Prop
-
The Angry Princess is often shown holding the knife she used in her final moments. Use a safe foam or rubber prop with a blood-stained finish.
Hair Styling: Haunted and Wet-Looking
Her hair is long, straight, dark, and clings to her skin like she’s just stepped out of the bathtub.
-
Choose a synthetic wig in dark brown or black, 24–30 inches long.
-
Apply water-based gel or “wet look” spray to achieve that heavy, damp texture.
-
Let strands hang in front of the face to enhance her ghostly aura.
The Eyes: All-White Horror Stare
Nothing defines the Angry Princess like her eerie, pupil-less eyes. This is where EyeCandys colored contact lenses elevate your cosplay to cinematic levels.
Recommended Contacts:
-
White Mesh Lenses: Create an opaque, milky effect while still allowing some vision.
-
Blind White Lenses: Fully white out your eyes for max visual impact (note: may limit visibility).
-
Prescription Available: EyeCandys offers white special effects lenses in prescription strengths, so glasses-wearers can go full cosplay.
Safety tip: Always follow proper hygiene practices and never share lenses.
Makeup & FX: Pale Skin, Haunted Details
The Angry Princess is ghostly pale with bruising, scars, and the unmistakable look of a woman who’s been through it all.
Makeup Tips:
-
Base: Use a pale foundation or white body paint to give a lifeless skin tone.
-
Bruises: Add blue, purple, and green tones around the eyes, neck, and ribs.
-
Eyes: Smudge dark eyeshadow or kohl liner around the lids and under-eyes for a sunken, tired appearance.
-
Lips: Keep lips nude or blot them with a small amount of fake blood to look cracked or bitten.
Nail Art: Blood-Soaked and Spectral
The Angry Princess doesn’t wear polish in the film, but her hands are often shown dripping in blood—making nail art a great detail for a horror-accurate look.
EyeCandys Gel Nail Sticker Recommendations:
-
Deep Red or Oxblood Stickers: For a blood-like base.
-
Splatter or Ombre Styles: Look for designs that mimic dried blood or smeared gore.
-
Matte Finish: To make the nails look dirty or dulled by death.
-
Shape: Stiletto or almond adds sharpness, but you can keep them short and blunt for realism.
Semi-cured gel stickers apply quickly and stay put—even through photoshoots or haunted house runs.
Final Touches: Props, Lighting, and Posing
-
Bathroom Scene Props: Recreate her bathtub moment with red LED lights and mirror writing (“I’m sorry” in fake blood).
-
Lighting: Red or green gels give your cosplay an otherworldly, cinematic glow.
-
Posing: Channel stillness, rage, and sadness. Crouch or slouch with a tilted head. Let your body feel heavy and empty.
