It used to be a lot bigger but then this area just got flooded with different haunts. We make due though and they let us do whatever we want so its pretty cool. More of a family place but still a blast and scaring people never gets old. Chased a girl tonight through three different rooms who her boyfriend was literally dragging her.. she looked like a deer in headlights screaming her face off. Having reactions like is like an adrenaline rush and makes the job a blast.

She got some reference pictures and then just went from there. Its a mix of liquid latex and flour. Most of her appliances she makes are latex and flour.. its cheap and easy.

We went to a Stranger Things themed party over the weekend, dressed as Mulder and Skully. Spent a lot of time trying to get statements about the mysterious disappearances in the fall of 1983.

Put your clothes in the woods and ride over them with quads or just somewhere dirty with a lot of foot traffic. They get beat up real quick and look really authentic. Also wetting them and drying them with high heat really fucks stuff up.

Yeah, there's lots of techniques for weathering/distressing costumes to make them look worn or battle damaged or whatever but just grinding dirt into them often works best. There's a whole bunch of youtube videos about all the different techniques, here's one I grabbed at random: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr17we7_Fv4 There's also a bunch of videos for making hard surfaces like armour seem worn or pitted.

He still looks way too pristine for a demented supernatural psycho killer who has been living alone in the woods for decades. Yes, a lot more distressing will be done this week, probably will leave the jacket and shirt outside most of the week (I live in the PNW and the weather is poo poo) and since we have a gravel driveway I'll leave them there/use the gravel to distress them more before Saturday. We were going to do that right before this shoot but there were a lot of signs of bears around where we were and we didn't want to worry about being in the field more towards sunset and being attacked by a bear just for a couple photos lol. This is the first time I've actually done anything to represent an iconic movie character so it's all learning for me at this point! Usually I've just done basic costumes with minimal work, so this is actually a lot of fun, and I'm excited for the final shoot.

anglerfish posted:Any ideas on how to do an opossum costume and not look like a furry? Nope, any sort of quasi-realistic opossum costume is technically a fursuit so will end up looking like a furry. I guess you could avoid making it look cartoony/friendly and make it look as creepy as possible although I just GISed 'opossum costume' and there's a bunch of creepy opossum fursuiters as well. I guess one option would be to wear a costume that leaves your face exposed, possible with some sort of mask that you wear like a hat: ![]()

French Canadian posted:Help Halloween is fast approaching and I'm outta ideas!!! Go to the craft store and get a cheap black shirt, some white fabric paint (should be next to shirts) and a brush. Paint a lovely skeleton on the shirt. You can even go to the next level and paint your face like a skull. Easy for the wife too. The best part is when the party is over, you can make a joke about boning her.

Been doing my thing again this year, which is mainly Twilight Zones, films, and tons of video games with the family, and some other dumb projects.![]() I caught a cold right before Halloween making me extra sick, so please post pictures, especially lovely ones, so that I may live vicariously through you. Really wanted to go somewhere even if it was just foliage stuff. I'm glad while they're goofy that Dinosaur Dracula (X-E) and i-Mockery still do their things every year. Did pick up a carving pumpkin and a sugar pumpkin, but that'll have to wait! Oh yeah, also, holy grail costume: ![]()

I'm a big fan of this recipe for fake blood:code:
The corn syrup makes it super goopy and the cornstarch really thickens it up but be be warned that it's super sticky, especially after you've been wearing it for an hour or so. If you pour it all over yourself and it gets all over your pants then you won't be able to sit on anything without sticking to it and leaving a mess that'll stain other people's clothes but that's going to be an issue with pretty much every kind of fake blood. Your clothes will also glue themselves to your body hair if you really soak yourself in it.

I'd rather be the guy with the pink shirt than the guy covered in syrup who nobody wants to get close to.
