Character costumes!

In horror movies, costumes are usually very plain and neutral so that they don't attract too much attention. In horror movies, the main focus should be on the action, therefore paler colours should be used for the costumes. Things that I need to consider are:

Age of the girl
In my trailer, my actors are slightly older than the characters that they are portraying are meant to be.Therefore, I plan to drape them in clothes which are a bit more childlike or baggy. For example, I will probably make them wear skirts and t-shirts as to make them seem more girly and innocent.

Time period
Although I haven't been specific in determining the time in which the dead girl comes from, I feel that it is obvious from my trailer that she is from the past, therefore I will try to find some more 'dated' clothes to drape her in.
