With Halloween just over a week away I couldn't help but share a look at another cool costume on display at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, James Duval's 'Frank' costume from the 2001 psychological sci-fi thriller, Donnie Darko. In the film Jake Gyllenhaal plays troubled teenager 'Donnie Darko' who narrowly escapes a freak accident and starts hallucinating a menacing man in a large bunny suit named Frank, that only he can see, who encourages him to commit crimes.

This screen-used costume from writer-director Richard Kelly's movie was photographed on display at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on October 13, 2025.
This bunny costume is made from synthetic fur, rubber and paint and the suit was fabricated by Costume Designer April Ferry and Dale R. Brady and Rob Burman were responsible for the creepy mask.
Meanwhile fans of Jake Gyllenhaal and his films may also like to check out his Prince of Persia movie costumes on display.
Being only 5'4" myself, I'm not sure I'd want to be the only person to see a guy in a giant bunny suit that follows me everywhere I go.
