I bought the wig on eBay for about $20 after S/H, got the sportcoat, tie and pants from the thrift store for $5 total, and the cream based makeup at a Spirit Halloween store.

I taped stripes on the pants and jacket, using 1.5" masking tape.




I then used black fabric paint.


I was very pleased/surprised to see how straight the lines were when I removed the tape.






The final product.

I had a lot of fun dressed up as Beetlejuice. Countless people approached me and wanted to take a picture with me. I can't count how many times someone yelled "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!!!" at me!!! I will definitely bring this costume back in a few years!

cool costume!

You look awsome great suit. Coincidently I was Lydia this year.

I love your suit idea. I was in a hurry when I bought mine last year, and ended up buying a good quality mask, but a cheap costume suit. I am going to try to replicate yours for next year. Thanks for the detailed steps

BTW, here is a pic of my costume from last year.
