Babadook Costume Project

[Pillow Pants]

HELP ME!

I am terrible at making costumes, but the Babadook seems simple enough to recreate for a cosplay.  If you have ever seen the Babadook you'll know that he is extremely tall, creepy as forget, and can glide towards you in a heart beat.  For the gliding part, I've already planned how I will do that. I will use roller skates, which add another 4 inches height putting me at 6'5".  I still have yet to find an over-sized overcoat/trench coat, a top hat, or long fingered gloves. I also don't know how I'll be doing the face painting.  If anyone is interested in helping me with this project I would greatly appreciate your creativity.

Overcoat I am considering

just by googling some images, you might want to consider a mask for the face instead of paint
the hair might be able to be pulled off via a very, very dirty mop

I haven't seen the movie or even previously heard of this though, so what do I know
