Want to be something truly scary for Halloween?
Character don't get any scarier than The Housemaid from the 1960's classic korean thriller about the entanglements of an extremely creepy housemaid and a family that's working way too hard to keep the husband's affair with her under wraps.
Supposedly the movie was so disturbing and the actress was so convincing that movie-goers would passionately yell out "Kill the bitch!" among other obscenities in the theater. Needless to say, Lee Eun-Shim never got another acting job due to the graphic nature of this role and how great she was at giving the whole of South Korea the heebie-jeebies.
Now I know most girls don't score any points for being creepy or scary on Halloween. Luckily, the 2010 remake of The Housemaid adds another adjective to the character's repertoire: sexy.
Yes, director Im Song-Soo was able to turn a disturbing and frightening tale into an "erotic thriller" with the promise of sexy maid costumes and sex scenes galore. I have yet to see how this new version went down but the iconic character is unique enough to be a conversation piece at any party while at the same time, be common enough to pass as a simple maid outfit.
I know the new Housemaid came out in mid-2010ish so it's not the most relevant costume but the film hasn't hit our shores till now so I think it's fair game.
What you'll need:
For the 1960's Housemaid
