Halloween is the perfect time to pay homage to your favorite film. 2018 has already given us countless new movies and characters to use for Halloween inspiration, but let’s be real, none of them compare to “A Quiet Place.” The film broke box office records with its high-grossing opening weekend numbers and was even given a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which explains why we think everyone will be trying their hand at “A Quiet Place” Halloween costumes this year. Between the characters’ simple everyday clothing and the popularity of the film, we’re almost positive that making a Halloween costume from “A Quiet Place” will be super easy. Here’s a little background from the film to help you get started on your “A Quiet Place” costume, especially if you want to make a Lee Abbott Halloween costume or an Evelyn Abbott Halloween costume!
Everything You Need To Know Before Making A Costume From “A Quiet Place”
The film follows Lee and Evelyn Abbott, played by real-life couple John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, as they fight to survive an unexplained invasion of extraterrestrial monsters. The Abbotts and their two children Regan (Millicent Simmonds) and Marcus (Noah Jupe), are forced to live in silence while hiding from these ultra-sensitive beings, learning to navigate through their home and town without making a single sound. All it takes is one sound to attract these deadly monsters, so the Abbotts need to be smart in order to survive.

Since the Abbotts are an average, monster-fighting family, it’s no surprise that they’re dressed in everyday clothing that also serves a purpose, which is something that must be considered when making a DIY “A Quiet Place” Halloween costume. Their home is located in the woods and they can’t rely on luxuries like cars to get around and convenient appliances and technologies to perform everyday tasks, so the Abbotts are always dressed for a hike and carry plenty of tools and equipment in their backpacks to make sure they’re prepared for anything. Fans of the film will be able to easily recognize Lee’s fleece pullover, long beard, and heavy-duty backpack and Evelyn’s flowy floral dress, blonde hair, and baby bump, so it’s important that they’re all accounted for when making a costume from “A Quiet Place.”
Where To Find Everything To Make The Perfect “A Quiet Place” Halloween Costume
As we mentioned before, the costumes in this film were pretty basic and comprised of everyday pieces that can be found anywhere. We did some costume research on Amazon and found everything you’ll need to make the perfect “A Quiet Place” costume this year:
Lee Abbott A Quiet Place Halloween Costume
1. A Red Sweater
Men's Soft and Cozy Fleece 1/4-Zip Pullovers in Sizes ($27.95)
Lee’s wardrobe consists of plenty of wardrobe basics including white long sleeve shirts, vests, and sweaters. But perhaps his most distinguishable top is his red fleece pullover, which helped the film’s main character stay warm while trying to defend his family against the monsters. This should be a pretty easy piece to find while doing your Halloween shopping, but you can’t beat this under $30 dupe we found on Amazon. Not only is it super comfortable, but we’re sure you can find some chilly fall and winter days to re-wear it.
2. A Pair Khaki Pants
Match Men's Slim Tapered Stretchy Casual Pant ($15.99)
As for the bottom half for your Lee Abbott “A Quiet Place” Halloween costume, all you’ll need is a pair of basic khakis. Lee’s go-to pair was a classic beige color and must have been pretty stretchy and durable to last through all of those intense running scenes. We found an affordable pair of khakis on Amazon that are renowned for their stretchy fabric and tapered silhouette.
3. A Trusty Backpack
Canvas Backpack ($29.99)
There’s no way you can survive a monster apocalypse without a backpack filled with tools, right? Lee depended on his trusty canvas hiking backpack to hold his supplies and get him through his run-ins with the monsters, which means you’ll need one too! This backpack looks just like Lee’s and can hold everything you’ll need on Halloween night. It’ll also come in handy if you decide to go on a trip!
4. A Mountain Man Beard
Amscan Hungover Beard/Moustache ($12.65)
We’re guessing Lee stopped shaving once he realized that the monsters would hunt him down if he used his noisy electric razor, which is probably why he was sporting this grizzly mountain man beard throughout the film. Trust us, no Lee Abbott Halloween costume will be complete without this important feature…
Evelyn Abbott A Quiet Place Halloween Costume
1. A Flowy Floral Maxi Dress
Comila Women's Summer Sleeveless Floral Tank Maxi Dress Casual Long Dress Pocket ($27.99)
When it comes to creating the perfect Evelyn Abbott Halloween costume, it’s all about the details. To start, the protective mom of three wore a variety of floral maxi dresses throughout the film. One of her most iconic looks was the blue and yellow daisy dress she wore while in the yard with Lee, who was wearing his equally-iconic red sweater at the time. Need help finding a dress similar to Evelyn’s? This floral navy-blue dress will do the trick!
2. An Oversized Pink Cardigan
Gemijack Womens Cardigan Sweaters Chunky Oversized Knitted Long Sleeve Draped Open Front Pullover ($33.99)
Evelyn relied on her cozy-yet-chic pink cable knit cardigan to stay warm during the film. Her go-to sweater was long in length and had a draped front. This super cute cardigan from Gemijack looks just like Evelyn’s and it’s only $33 on Amazon.
3. A Blonde Wig

Actress Emily Blunt dyed her hair blonde to play the part of Evelyn. The natural brunette kept her hair tied back in a loose bun or ponytail throughout the film, which is probably best if you’re battling monsters. Unless you’ve got dirty blonde hair like Evelyn, you’re going to need a blonde wig and a good hair tie to nail the costume. Don’t worry, we found one for you!
4. A Fake Baby Bump
JUSTTOYOU Fake Pregnancy Belly Bodysuit ($29.40)
Like we said, creating the perfect Evelyn Abbott Halloween costume requires a lot of attention to details. The main character was pregnant for most of the film, which means that a fake baby bump will be in your future if you’re going to be making this costume. This would make the ideal costume for someone who is already pregnant, but if you’re not with child, this fake baby bump from Amazon will help convince everyone you’re expecting.
