Halloween // Is this Child’s Play birthday costume idea too much?

So my friend’s doing a horror-themed birthday in April and I randomly saw this Alex Vincent birthday signing thing at Abracadabra NYC while I was doomscrolling costumes last night, and now my brain is locked on a Chucky/Child’s Play look for myself.

I’m a mid-30s dude, short-ish, so the overalls + striped shirt combo actually kinda works on me, but I wanna go a bit extra without making it impossible to walk/sit/eat cake. I was thinking weathered overalls, slightly oversized striped sweater, stitched-up prosthetic face scars, and maybe a bloody toy knife. Maybe a Good Guys doll prop if I can pull it off on a budget.

My worry is it’ll look like a lazy Party City Chucky if I don’t nail the details. Maybe I’m overthinking this though.

Any tips on making a Child’s Play costume look more screen-accurate without spending a ton? Makeup/prosthetic recs, wig vs styling my own hair, and how you’d dirty up/distress the clothes without ruining them forever?
