A fan of Supermassive Games’ popular horror title Until Dawn has shared their injury-accurate Jessica cosplay with fans. This year’s Halloween holiday encouraged gamers to dress up as their favorite characters in force, with Poppy Playtime, Super Mario, and The Last of Us being among the parade. Until Dawn cosplays are fairly simple to replicate if the clothing and hairstyle are achieved, but the gory details bring it all together.

Released in 2015, the interactive horror story follows eight young adults as they attempt to survive the harrowing events on Blackwood Mountain. The game features a butterfly system where every choice impacts the narrative and characters’ fate. A remake for PC and PlayStation 5 players was released in October 2024, and there’s even a live-action movie in the works too. The crew’s slasher encounter has become a staple story in the horror genre, alongside their deaths, and nearly everyone can agree on which Until Dawn characters are likable or not.

Why a Potential Until Dawn 2 Would Stand Out Amid Supermassive’s Horror Anthology

Until Dawn 2 could be on its way, and if the rumors prove true, then it could be a major first for Supermassive Games’ contemporary portfolio.

Posted on Reddit by __Marceline, a series of photos showcasing the cosplayer’s Jess costume was shared on the Until Dawn subreddit. Sporting a green hoodie, white vest, ripped blue jeans, and hair separated by plaited pigtails, the fan also recreated Jess’ face and chest injuries with impressive accuracy, with each scratch and bruise made to look very realistic. The fan’s Halloween costume would make the perfect pairing with another Until Dawn fan’s Wendigo cosplay, which boasted incredible details and likeness to the creature. Even though the Jess cosplayer has dark hair instead of the character’s blonde shade, the community agreed the look was recreated well for trick-or-treating.

Until Dawn Fan Cosplays as Jess for Halloween

The cosplayer noted they had dressed up as Jess for Halloween four years ago, and decided to revisit the cosplay to improve the look. The community applauded the costume’s attention to detail and hoped other fans of the game recognized the effort out on the streets. Some funny comments were also thrown in by Redditors, with one user saying the cosplayer looked “rendered.” Joining the game’s iconic “It was just a prank, Han” meme, fans have produced several, comical tidbits about the characters over the years, including sorting the Until Dawn protagonists into Hogwarts houses from the Harry Potter series.

Joining the eight protagonists forced to survive the snowy setting and played by Meaghan Martin, Jessica is the same age as Ashley and Matt in Until Dawn, and her boyfriend in the game is Mike Munroe. Jess is one of the high school students who orchestrated the cruel prank against Hannah Washington, and the character gets a grisly comeuppance depending on what players’ choices are.
