Halloween!

So yesterday a craftgrrl posted a question about making a paper mache hammer ( li_lian820) to which iamdolleyezresponded with a picture of her fabulous Pyramid Head (Red Pyramid, whichever) costume.  I know its not really halloween season yet, but i loves it and am already thinking about new costumes. Anyway, I thought I'd post some pics of two of the costumes I made last halloween (made 6 in total for me and my boyfriend, for various events). I went as a bobblehead nurse from Silent Hill (the home of Red Pyramid), and my bf went as Shawn of the Dead (his name being shawn - haha - and he loving zombies). I did all the makeup, made all the blood, made the nurse hat and hood, the cast mask, and distressed the clothes. I also made transfers for the nurses costume: a distressed red cross and, if you look reaaaally close, you might see that i have "Brookhaven Hospital, Silent Hill" above the pocket. we also made surgical "weapons" out of spatulas and silver paint :P A friend also went as a nurse, but i won't post pics of her without first getting her permission (the costumes were identical however... well except for blood spatter pattern :P)
i had a ton of fun doing it, though standing outside in nearly freezing weather to have fake blood splattered and poured all over you was a bit of a chilly experience.

The plan for this year (so far) is to elaborate further on the nurse costume with freaky contacts and a few other changes, and to create a Red Pyramid costume for the bf. and recruit more nurses (the more, the creepier!). and to continue the tradition of harrassing the "sexy nurse" costumed girls. stupid sexy nurses...

On to the photos! oh, and some people have told me that the photos bother them (even though they know its fake), so consider yourselves warned.
