Killer Character-Bounding
Like Disney-bounding but spookier. Bounding is where you dress up like your favorite horror icons using your everyday clothing pieces. No need to purchase a costume.
Think of it as putting your own stylish spin on classic characters like Chucky, Frankenstein, or even your favorite scream queen.
By using your regular clothes, you can mix and match pieces you already have with some other themed pieces like a Loungefly backpack or fun jewelry to complete your look.
