Best Lex Murphy Halloween Costume Guide
Lex Murphy was one of the first teenage girls in an action film that we were really rooting for. She made her appearance on the Jurassic Park film in 1993 and was the character in the same novel that came out in 1990. For those of you who didn’t read the novel, it’s like you saw her in the film and gasped every time she barely escaped the grasp of violent dinosaurs.
Get Lex’s look with a Purple Baseball Cap, a Blonde Braided Pony Tail Wig, Purple Paisley Tank Top, Levi’s Straight Cut Jeans, Brown Hiking Boots, and the accessories: a Silver Dessert Spoon, Lime Jello, and Dirt Makeup. Lex is always prepared to dig for fossils and any kind of dinosaur encounter!

About Lex Murphy
Lex Murphy is the granddaughter of John Hammond, the man who created Jurassic Park. Lex thought she would go on an adventure to see dinosaurs in a safe proximity, but she had no idea the wild ride that was in store for her and her brother, Tim. Lex’s character was really challenged when she was put in the face of danger and protecting her younger brother from dangerous dinosaurs. She stepped up and did everything she needed to do to make sure that she and Tim made is home safely.
Lex was courageous and intelligent throughout the entire movie. She outsmarted the velociraptors and stayed brave as she kept her brother out of harm’s reach. We all loved to watch her integrity throughout the film, and she quickly became one of our favorite characters in the Jurassic Park film. Even though we loved to watch the violent dinosaurs, we couldn’t help hoping Lex made it out alive!
