The look
Jack Kesy's Hellboy in Hellboy: The Crooked Man is a separate live-action interpretation and is especially distinct because the film takes Hellboy into a 1950s Appalachian folk-horror setting. The costume is more grounded and period-influenced than the superhero-like presentation of previous films.

- 01Red Hellboy body/makeup.
- 02Filed horn prosthetics.
- 03Dark period-style trousers.
- 04Work shirt/tunic.

Character details
The overall design is intentionally more grounded and rural. Rather than emphasizing the polished superhero silhouette of the earlier films, the costume should feel like something a paranormal investigator could actually wear while traveling through the Appalachian countryside. Weathering is important.
