A few Teen Wolf behind-the-scenes photos were released, giving us an up-close-and-personal look at the makeup and costume design for the sinister looking Darach.
In season 3, episode 9 of Teen Wolf, titled “The Girl Who Knew Too Much,” we found out that Jennifer Blake, played by Haley Webb, was indeed the Darach and the one who has been ritually sacrificing Beacon Hills citizens all around town.
In episode 10, “The Overlooked,” we found out that Jennifer had been Kali’s emissary. In order to join the Alpha Pack, Deucalion told Kali she had to kill her own pack, including her emissary. Kali did as she was instructed, but instead of going back and finishing off the dying Jennifer (whose real name is Julia), she left her to die a peaceful death.
Unknown to Kali, Jennifer crawled to the nemeton, a large and sacred tree to the Druids, pulling enough strength from the roots in order to survive until she was found. However, due to the attack on her, Jennifer’s true face is horribly scarred.
Below, you can see a close-up of Haley Webb in her makeup as the Darach, thanks to the MTV Remote Control Blog.
The makeup job is quite gruesome and realistic looking. There seems to be no hint of Webb underneath all those scars, but it really is her!
In the second photo, we see Webb in full costume with her own reading glasses on. The contacts required for the character don’t allow her to wear her own contacts, and so we get this hilarious and still somewhat terrifying look:
The third photo shows us the costume as a whole, which has a leather collar and a tight corset around the waist. The skirt is sheer and a bit ragged looking, which only adds to the Darach’s menacing appearance.
Lastly, we see the concept art for the Darach, which looks quite similar to the final design. The only major difference is that it looks like the Darach might have once had her eyes and mouth covered by similar material to the rest of her costume. We imagine that was tossed out, as the mouth and eyes on the Darach are definitely one of the reasons why it’s so terrifying.
