Left 4 Dead\u2019s spiritual sequel, Back 4 Blood, has zombie survivalists everywhere prepping for armageddon in order to efficiently slay the undead hordes. With eight playable characters each sporting their own unique perks, baseball bat queen Holly has stolen the hearts of B4B players. You can\u2019t help but crack a smile at her unwavering positivity, with her quirky voice lines being some of the best in the game. Looking to embody the Cleaners\u2019 resident cheerleader is California-based cosplayer Cahlaflour, who has brought the feisty redhead to life. Back 4 Blood Holly cosplay is ready to slay As an avid fan of horror games, Back 4 Blood\u2019s release coincided perfectly with Cahla\u2019s plans for the spooky season. \u201cI\u2019m really into horror and shooter games, so any game that combines those AND lets me play with friends makes me super excited,\u201d she told Dexerto. \u201cIt is also a relatively big launch specifically in October when I do my horror\/cosplay month on Twitch so I thought it worked perfectly!\u201d Why did she opt for Holly, though? It turns out the two have quite a lot in common. \u201cShe\u2019s a badass redhead\u2026 who doesn\u2019t want to be that?\u201d she asks. \u201cHonestly though, I have a lot of fun cosplaying redheads because then I don\u2019t have to wear super awful scratchy wigs that squeeze my brain. \u201cI also really liked her voice lines when I played her in alpha\/beta and fell in love with her spunkiness. She reminded me of myself a bit with her goofy lines she\u2019d say. \u201cPew pew motherf**ker\u201d while casually taking out Ridden probably being my favorite.\u201d View this post on Instagram While Cahla notes that constructing the outfit for this cosplay \u201cwasn\u2019t too bad\u201d in comparison to others like her Lady Dimitrescu, she recalls that creating Holly\u2019s famous baseball bat (affectionally dubbed \u201cDottie\u201d) was the most difficult part of the transformation.

I finally stumbled into a Spirit Halloween that had a really basic foam bat that I purchased and then weathered the crap out of it to make it look beat up and battle-ready. \u201cIt\u2019s mostly different acrylic paints to make the wood look darker, aged and like it has splotches of blood. The nails were made out of clay that I sculpted, painted to look metal, and then superglued to the bat in different places to make the nails look like they went through it.\u201d The finished product looks pretty damn deadly, and we wouldn\u2019t want to be the poor Ridden that finds itself on the other side of it. More #Back4Blood with the squad!

Cosplay is a huge passion of mine and I can\u2019t wait to show you all what else is next!\u201d While we\u2019re crossing our fingers that a Cahla version of Karlee appears down the line, we can\u2019t wait to see what this spunky redhead will pull out of her cosplay box next.
