I thought it would be cool if we post pics of our Halloween costumes and make up jobs.
Here's a couple of me as Frankie- buy that time I sweat off most of the green!
and the Planet of the Apes Gorilla and my Alien son from years past:

Great job. I liked the gorilla soldier's coat/ top.
Excuse me for being a dope... but I don't know how to post photos here. I have a digital camera and access to a scanner--------but how do I get those pics on HERE?
This is the kinda stuff I love to see! Awesome make-up job! My husband and I tried to do vampire make-up for last years Halloween Party and we failed miserably. We looked blue and smeary, but we sweated it off while hosting. :)
is it just me, or is that little alien giving me the finger? ;D
Last year our Halloween Party was themed after Hitchcock's "The Birds"
(http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm131/ChrisWhiteStudio/Halloween%202009/TippiAndHitch.jpg)
Here we are as Tippi and Hitch.
In 2008 the theme was "Sweeney Todd"
(http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm131/ChrisWhiteStudio/Halloween%20Part%202008/HPIM1226.jpg)
Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett. My wife made the costumes, mine from scratch, hers was a modified costume.
The year before that it was "Young Frankenstein"

Inga and "Dr. Fronkensteen"
Here's a link to additional pics from our parties.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhh- I can't breathe!!!! These are so wonderful!!!!! I can't even post our party pics! Reason #1- I barely can use photobucket without yelling for help And Reason #2- Our costumes are LAME compared to yours! Year 1 of our annual Halloween Party- We were Donald and Daisy Duck (store bought costumes) Year 2- Cruella and my husband insisted on being a gladiator, buy pulling a fit in the costume store that would top any 10 year old's! year 3- ill-fated vampire costumes, etc.
Awesome pics Dwayne! Is that your Phantom sculpt?
Thanks Doc. ;)
That is the Phantom sculpt we did for Chaney Entertainment. I just cut the face out to make a half head mask.
"D"
Propman - very nice! Check out the link on my earlier post - we had our own Jack the Ripper and victims at one of our parties.
Jim, gotta love the Dick Smith make up book! It was an inspiration during my early years as well. You did a good job of the skull makeup.
OH, this thread does my Hallowe'en lovin' heart so much good!
Propman, you rock. That Phantom is killer.
Jim, a CLASSIC look from a classic make-up manual... the teeth especially look awesome!
Everyone, what a great thread.
And thank you, Mitchellmania for starting it up. LOVE the Frankenstein make-up and costume!
Hey ChrisW,
Thanks for pointing out the link!!!! Love the party pics and your garage set up. Funny how the ladies in out Jack the Ripper photos are wearing the same kind of red and black dresses. Very cool to add the paperboy as well!!!!!
I also was the photos with Frank Frazetta. Also very cool! I never got to meet him by we sold to his son Bill and his trick shop for years. He's a really cool guy and his wife looks like one of Frank's Painting. Lovely Lady to say the least! ;)
"D"
Chris & Mike, thanks. That was a book that you just had to use...it forced you. If I recall correctly the teeth were made from the wax that is used to wrap cheese (I think it was a block of Cheddar). The wax was pressed into a piece of old nylon stocking, sculpted into the teeth shape and colored with the greasepaint. What fun and I got to eat the cheese later.
Not Halloween , just me back in the '60's scaring my little sister with the Mattel Thing Maker rubber
stuff on my face.
Great photo's everyone!

No... in the spirit of this thread, I think everyone should just relax about the 'quality' of their costumes. There's no qualified critics here. I think we all would appreciate ANY pics. SHOW US PICS!! :)
Allright Sean, I'm going over to Photobucket.........you have been warned! Lame costumes will be forthcoming

Great thread everybody! Thanks for posting such great photos...
Happy early Halloween!
Charp - great Halloween shots! My favorite is SpongeBob - the spatula accessory shows that you're willing to go the extra mile for authenticity! ;D
Thanks, that's my 28 year old son, he's also goofy like the rest of my family!
Hilarious costumes Charp 13. At the last Halloween Party I went to there was a couple dressed up in "Biggest Looser" costumes, those inflatable ones, the guy was kind of tall and his wife very short. OMG they were hilarious. My wife and I could not stop laughing every time we saw them. Wish I had a picture. The short woman looked like a weeble. Funniest thing I ever saw. I always love and appreciate the humorous costumes as well as the scary spooky ones. Now we just have to get you up to speed on how to post them on here.

Whoa! Those are good costumes, Charp. The vampiress was cool. Keep 'em coming if you can.
Thanks for the kind words. We just started the new party era 3 years ago, so that our grandson could experience the insanity that is a Halloween Party. The first couple years we had a mandatory "no gore" clause in the invite because we had small guests. But this year anything goes! Every kid is older, and wiser and has been subjected to my monster room, so they know what to expect. It will be pretty cool to get to raise the scary bar this year! Back in the 80s & 90s, we had kid Halloween parties for our offspring and they sorta turned out ok :)

You guys are awesome!! I also would have chosen JarJar, haha. My husband, brother, son, nephew all hate JarJar! I can't figure out why..... I'm so glad to have found UMA. This is just the best! Now I have to ask my husband how to use the "scanner", I didn't know we had one until last week when my sister asked if I had one. Too cool, I have a lot more costume pics on old-timey pictures, not these new fangled digital memory chips.

OG, if yours are "sub-par" then mine are downright pathetic.
Ok Opera Ghost, since you posted Vader I figured I better counter that you darksider you:
I often dressed up as a Jedi for my store. Best compliment I ever got was from a Mom who always brought her little girl to our store because we were so Halloween kid friendly. She said I looked like I jumped off the screen. We always had a great time giving out candy to the kids at our store. We had the whole place decorated and I had loads of reenactor friends who dressed up and came out. Spooky music was the norm and my wife always dressed up like the clown from Saw. She scared the kids have to death. I will search for photos but not even sure if we have any sadly.

Thanks, the wooded setting is my back yard. I will have to someday tell the story of how we got this house. It will fit right in with the UMA I am sure.
Nice Wolfie...and nice Robot/ Droid collection!!!!!!!!!!

No really, I dug a hole in the back yard and buried my suit for about a month. Then I threw a scoop of dirt in a bucket and added some water. Just plain old mud. I had read somewhere that Fulci used plain old mud and clay to get some of his best zombie FX.
Here is a link to an e-how article I did on how to do it all step by step:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5433338_do-zombie-makeup.html (http://www.ehow.com/how_5433338_do-zombie-makeup.html)
Unfortunately I did not have a lot of photos of the actual process. It is pretty easy though.
ChrisW-- You have changed my life!! I didn't know such a place existed. halloweenforum is great! I told my husband that I will never read another book again, I am going to read everything on this forum :) There are a lot more people like me out there,than I would have ever imagined. I love reading about other people's ideas and props. Oh to walk a mile in a creative person's shoes..... Thanks
Charlotte - my pleasure! That seems to be the reaction of folks who stop by - "there are others out there like me!"!!!

And while he doesn't brag (one of his many charms) MikeC here on the UMA is one of the most inventive, original Halloween haunters around.

Ok, zombiehorror- I looked at all your 2009 haunt pix and they were fantastic! Your yard was like a theme park! I have a couple of questions that you probably already answered on the forum, but #1- How are those "boards" attached to your front window? I am definitely going to try that this year.... and #2- You said you used scene setters, which I have bought in the past and had a horrible time unfolding and trying to tack up, and you used Magnets? Did you put the peel and stick magnet tape on the back or some other way? I ask because my garage is visible from the side of my house and I never decorate it, so it's a great idea. :) Also, every year I tell my husband that we need more lighting to highlight stuff and because I'm afraid somebody will fall, so I may use your yard pics in my presentation to my husband and show him the light path you made.
These are "test" make-ups my daughter practiced on me in 2007. Her version of Frankenstein's Other Monster. We were gonna rig me up with a big ol' furry vest and everything, but never got to really finish the project. Still, it was disturbing to my neighbors... which was neat!

Quote from: charp13 on June 15, 2010, 04:25:33 PM#1- How are those "boards" attached to your front window? I am definitely going to try that this year....
For the upper windows, I took a wire hanger and cut 5" pieces, bent them into an "S" shape and then hooked one end threw the slate in shutters then used the existing nail hole (as these were pallet boards) to hang the board onto the hook. The lower windows again are pallet boards (not as easy to take apart as you may think) that I laid out in the shape I wanted then used dry wall screws to attach all the boards together. I then took that and hung it, again with little 5" pieces of wire hanger bent in an "S" but this time the entire structure is supported by the top board which rests on the hook the other end of the hook is just hooked on top of the window itself. Hope that somewhat explains it?!?
Quote from: charp13 on June 15, 2010, 04:25:33 PMand #2- You said you used scene setters, which I have bought in the past and had a horrible time unfolding and trying to tack up, and you used Magnets? Did you put the peel and stick magnet tape on the back or some other way?
Nope they are not peel and stick they are just little 1/2" circular magnets that you can get in Wal-Mart's (or any hobby store I would imagine) craft section. My original intent was to cut the Scene Setter right at the garage door sections so I could have this up the entire month and still use the garage but this was not an effective method for windy days. I may buy some more magnets and group them closer together this year to see if it is more effective at holding it in place, otherwise I'll just keep putting it up day of as usual.
"Also, every year I tell my husband that we need more lighting to highlight stuff and because I'm afraid somebody will fall, so I may use your yard pics in my presentation to my husband and show him the light path you made."
The first 4, or was it 5?, years TOT's could only walk up the driveway to the front door but I really wanted to get them in the action so I devised the lighted path. Even with a street light not more than 50' from the house the yard was way to dark to just let kids wander thru the yard. The path not only keeps them...well in a path..LOL...but it also provides some ground lighting for visibility.
Thanks zombiehorror- And UP------ Yikes, I don't know what kind of make-up that is, but it's very well done!!! I turned my computer on during this horrible thunderstorm we're having ( complete with Masters of the Universe style lightning) and jumped out of my skin when I saw Frankenstein's other monster. You really know how to create a perfect setting for a viewing! :)
This is a great thread - thanks Mitchellmania for starting it!
ZombieHorror - I've seen your posts on HF, but never checked your photo album out until now - great stuff, nice shots. Thabnks also for the explanation about the boarded up windows - I've seen them but never investigated how to hang them. They really add to the decrepit decor!
UP - great make up, your daughter did an excellent job. And that photo of you with the red eye - Man, do you look possessed!!!

OK... I think this worked. The best thing about these costumes was the price. Less than $100 spent on all 3 combined. We went and scared my buddy's mother-in-law on Halloween like this. She dresses up as a witch and had kiddies come in for cider and cookies and ghost stories (cool lady) and we went in disguise to scare everybody. Dracula is about 6'2", the Wolfman 6'3" and I'm just under 6'5" as Frank. The kids were diving out windows. ;D (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/4712706001_9795875426_b.jpg)
I love the fancy living room background! 3 monsters hanging out and enjoying "life". Awesome costumes and a great story as well :)
I love ensemble photos like that. Your own version of the Monster Squad and better looking. Good job. What is better than a great costume on Halloween? Three great costumes on Halloween.
Sean, you guys look COOL there!! Excellent costumes!!
You guys are great at making your costumes! I love all of them. This is a awesome thread!
Scatter and Wolf Man and Charp and Creeper, thanks for being so kind. The werewolf mask cost me $45 about 30 years ago in Disney World. That was about 1/2 the budget for the 3 costumes, total. The Dracula cape cost about $19 and everything else was nickels and dimes. The Frankenstein mask was a $8 mask called a 'mini Frankenstein' or something like that. I see a werewolf and vampire mini still on E-Bay------but not the Frank anymore. I cut the face out to make a 'hood' and added craft hair to the top of the head only, leaving the sides and back of the head 'shaven'. It made for a radical look. I matched creme makeup to the green mask and I could eat and drink and see perfectly. We had a lot of fun.
Now begins the precipitous decline in quality for my costumes ;D...
This is the 3-Headed Abe Lincoln. This cost $30 total. $5 for a black jacket, maybe $10 for material to sew in to the jacket to make it fit all 3 of us. The rest on cheap wigs and big ears and material for the hats.
We went to 2 parties and came home with about $700.00 in prizes. It's NOT a great looking costume... but it was a great WORKING costume. The sight of 1 Abe holding a cigarette while another lit it------and the 3rd taking a drag and then smoke blowing out of all 3 noses spiced up the atmosphere. One Abe held the beer bottle, another opened it and fed it to the 3rd Abe. Anything we did drew a crowd. We probably drank 100 beers in the 2 nights and didn't pay for a single one. We bought back to be courteous----but there was still one guy who we couldn't win over.... a giant can of Coors Light. We actually got into a physical altercation with him on the dance floor the 2nd night, knocked him to the ground and they threw HIM out. I wish I had video of THAT.
BTW, I am the fool in the middle. ;D

I really believe getting 'into' character and BEING my costume.
We terrorized our college campus for several years as rather naughty Super Heroes. The 2nd year, there were 18 of us, much to the ruin of campus security who set up blockades so we could not enter the dormitories and pillage them. Naturally, we crashed through all feeble attempts, literally.....
Here I am flying off of a trampoline past the NYC skyline mural, WELL overshooting the padding that was to break my fall.

Here I am with the homeliest Wonder Woman ever.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4052/4716255124_e05223dec2.jpg)
And here's a group shot. The costumes are all homemade from old sweats, felt, tape and cardboard mostly. We were college kids who had no money. The Flash's head was SO big, his head piece ripped. We decided to leave it like that because it would be funnier. There is also a Bud Man in the back row. I'm not sure if he was Marvel or DC..... ;)
Can anyone name 'em all?

You, know... we did have fun. We still like to bring this stuff up at gatherings and the old stories get rehashed about those nights. Like Willie Wonka so eloquently said of 'a little nonsense now and then'.... well, you know the words.
Cool stuff Sean!!
Sean - Great, great stuff. This is the best of Halloween. No destruction, no damage, just crazy fun. Onee GHalloween i got together with some friends who sang and played musical instruments (mine was the banjo) and we went through neighborhoods playing and singing and making complete asses out of ourselves, and loving every minute of it. People invited us into parties, others tried to feed us or at least give us treats.
Somewhere I've got pictures...somewhere...
Ah, good times...
AWESOME pics & costumes, Sean!!

You got it, Chris... silliness, yes. No one really got hurt. We had fun and created memories with no regrets. Your 'traveling band' sounds awesome... and on a night when people are in the mood to receive 'guests' and give them a treat, I'm sure YOUR crew gave THOSE people a treat. I bet there are people from that night who don't know you that still remember you and talk about you fondly. GREAT story and please find PICS!!!!! ;D
UP & Scatter, thanks for the kind words, as always.
I think we should jump start this thread because everyone likes pictures!!
Do you know how many kids are scarred now. >:D This was 4 or 5 years ago. You can't really see it but on the cuffs it says I KILLED Bozo.

Well, I didn't used to be afraid of clowns..... I don't know what you "normally" look like, but that is an awesome make up job! And a very inventive use of that happy familiar blue Bozo costume. I'll never be able to think about my favorite tv clown again-without wondering if he has a scary side :)

I've seen some photos of Wicked Lester without the clown get-up - he's scarier looking when he's "normal" (and I use that term loosely)!
HAHAHAHA! Thanks gang. That Halloween was a blast even tho we didn't get more than maybe 40 kids.

1 of 500 bought from an Italian work shop maybe 12 years ago. Pretty much massed produced as it were. Paid $110 in 1998 . Used to have a half dozen or so of Kit Rae Fantasy swords as well. Since sold.This axe is now in the dark corner of the garage with a very rusted up blade.

That was a mad scientist bubble beaker. and a human eye in the beaker. This was at a friend's house, prior to going out to a haunted trail down at the national park. We went in costume and were mistaken by the trail staff for part of the show.

That'd make a doozy of a wall hanging. I just finished a sculpt of the invisible man.
Last year, we had my mother in law create a Jack Skellington Costume for our son, as they are not available for toddlers. My Mother in law usually makes and sends clothers, blankets, pillow cases for the kids.
For halloween, she made a shirt for Little Man, and matching dresses for the two little girls that my wife watches during the week.

They are such cute little people and you know I love Jack Skellington- He's all over my house and my 10 footer is blowing around outside as we speak! LM is such a cutie pie! My son is almost 29 and is big and grumpy, so you are at a very wonderful time in your life right now :) My son was cut and snuggly at that age too, the he graduated from college and became a grown up know it all! haha This is gonna be a terrific Halloween for you this year, now that LM can walk around like a real Trick or Treater! I saw how well he got around in your Disney pics. All I can say is- Go buy another memory chip for your camera, you're gonna need it!

I'm sure you'll see the family resemblance.
Great stuff, Ivan & Jim!
You guys have raised your children RIGHT!!!! They look like they are willing to go all out with their costumes AND most importantly- They know how to pose, get into character and let you take great pictures! :) I am hard pressed to find any non-blurry photos of my kids on the most important holiday of the year. Now that they are almost 30, I shame them into posing for pictures for "old Mom". Thanks for posting these precious pictures and keep um' coming!
Man, I'm loving these pics!!

My girlfriend and I went over to our friends house on Halloween, he's an art dealer.His house looks like an art gallery.
He's sold a few original Keane paintings to Tim Burton, you know-the ones with the big sad eyes.

Those are prop goggles from Halloween spirit's gothwerks. That said, if you think I'm mad, so did a bunch of kids up there when I went into a Hyde transformation, shattered a plastic beaker, scattered laboratory notes all over the place and smashed a table, before the invisible woman threw me against a wall and kept me from carrying through with my threat to rip out their spleens. I also made a lunge for the crowd and bruised up my knee when I landed on the concrete floor.
Nothing like injuring yourself for the sake of staying in character! Done it more than once myself.
Madd & Crazy, you guys are real troopers!
For next year, I'm working on getting a collaborator to pretend to be with the tour, so I can grab them out of the crowd and "kill" them via beating them to death with my walking cane.

Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas beat you to it
As for Thanksgiving, I recommend the camp play from Addams Family Values
I don't know - I thought BLOOD FREAK was the quintessential Thanksgiving movie :D.
How about a Mad Scientist story where he injects an experimental growth hormone into Turkeys that cause them to mutate into man-sized killers or a preservative into dead birds that reanimates them and they attack people:
Thanksgiving night massacre: Poultry in motion
Coming to a Theater near you
While not turkey, what about the classic Lights Out radio program where scientists cause a chicken heart to grow to such a gigantic size that it threatens a city...I kid you not. And it was a creepy episode for such an outrageous idea.

Bill Cosby based his "Chicken Heart" routine on the fact that he had actually listened to that episode of Lights Out as a child. Ol' Bill is a bit of a Monster Kid himself and mentions monsters in several of his comedy bits.
Here are the last two times I dressed up for halloween, regrettably several years and a crappy digital camera ago now.
2004-Jason. The mask I customized from a generic dollar store glow mask. I chopped the axe cut in it and painted it up.
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f24/RedKing71/20041.jpg) (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f24/RedKing71/2004.jpg)
2005-One of HP Lovecraft's Deep Ones from the Shadow Over Innsmouth (my all time favorite horror story) I made the eyes out of egg carton cups and painted them up. Today they reside in the sockets of a fake skull on my dresser!

Very nice- RedKing! I agree that the last photo looks creepy, and that is what makes it frame-worthy! Isn't it weird how a camera can do all the work?
Kind of creepy? I'd say, a LOT creepy! Cool!

when my parents went out and he'd turn out all the lights in the house and play that episode with the giant chicken heart to scare us.
Well...looks like the Mrs did not get any really clear photos of my Del Toro Wolf Man, but here is what she did get

OG- I think Mrs. OG did an excellent job! I like the photos that don't show your whole werewolf form. Sometimes it's what you don't see that makes it scarier. Also, the lighting is superb!
OG, your house is better than any of the sponsored haunted houses we had out here this year.............bravo!!
Thanks my Ghoulish friends...you give me strength to take on 2011!
Maybe we could all rotate our props next year, so we could start fresh! Wouldn't that be fun? Now we need to hire a long distance truck driver that happens to be driving across country and doesn't mind picking up and dropping off our Halloween decorations, and a map!

Those costumes are AWESOME!
Great job Dafunk
Hey everyone! Thought that since I'm already seeing Halloween Decorations going up for sale in some stores I'd go through some photos from Halloween a few years back and share 'em! This is a custom from scratch Darkness costume I made back in '08 along side a made from scratch Pyramid Head costume from Silent Hill my friend is sporting...

That set in the last pic is a made from scratch set we built in our garage as part of our annual haunted house.
-- Greg
Those are great, Greg. I like the hooves on the demon/ devil. How did you make them? The Pyramid Head is awesome, too. How did he do the legs/ feet-------he looks tall.
He stood about 9 feet tall. We made "stilts" for him using reenforced plastic construction buckets. He didn't have any experience on real stilts and since the character just had a large loose fitting skirt it could hide them and they actually helped keep the shape better! As for the goat hooves those were a little more awkward to walk in, I used a pair of platform shoes as the base and made a hoof shaped base out of wood that got screwed to the bottom of each shoe, I then coated each one with Great Stuff expanding foam insulation and once it expanded and dried carves it into the shape of the hooves. Then I coated it with foam putty, sanded it smooth and carved into it and then painted them up! Not the easiest things to walk in but the more I did it the easier it got! They were fun costumes to make, but not the easiest. Pyramid head was actually a last minute project and we had the whole thing done in about 3 days (including the head from scratch... there were some serious all-nighters on that one!) but the Darkness devil costume took about 2 years of planning, designing and construction and set me back a pretty penny on parts and materials. The horns were the hardest part, them and the head rig that held them was nothing but a goof 9 - 10 months of trial and error on 'em!
Creaturerevenge, I think they're just awesome--------and quite inspiring
Quote from: Dr.Teufel Geist on October 05, 2010, 10:42:08 PM
cool pics....and the axe reminds me of a barbarian style or viking maybe...
Looks like a longer version of my battle axe.
Man, awesome creativity Greg!

Heh, I wouldn't be too surprised had it been. Wolf Man's quite the werewolf connosier, as his name may suggest.
Hmmmmm...I always thought Wolf Man spent his daytime hours in Victorian clothes :)
Glad to see everyone again too. I have some catching up to do so will do my furry best!

Crazy1van- I want your life!! You have such a cool looking group of contemporaries! More power to ya'! Ghostbusters are awesome :)
lblambert- WOW!! That is movie quality! I LOVE the b&w picture! BRAVO!!
Marsha- I am in awe (and very frightened) of your son! His costume is super scary and downright chilling {^_^} Strangely enough- my grandson, who is almost 8, was just telling me about Slender Man! He has never played the game, but some kids at school told him the premise and we looked it up on the internet. I remember telling him that I thought it was disturbing......little did I know- that I would see an actual young man in Slender Man form!!! EEEK!! I will definitely show my grandson his costume. You son will delight and thrill a 3rd grader from Georgia! Yay!! Over all, it is a very creative costume-good job and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hubby and I once did Jack and Sally (after being married a few years) aka a lil more round around the middle
Yay! I was in such a hurry to put my make up on because my party guests were arriving- it looked awful! I hurridly drew stitches around my mouth and when I saw myself in a picture, I looked like that Octomom lady. But it was fun, and that's all that counts!
Creaturerevenge! I am blown away!!! Wish I was your neighbor!! I guess you scared most of the kids!!
Good Gravy! You guys have some great costumes here! llambert.....Great Fly costume! dafunk....That's one creepy Jack-O-Lantern beast I would not want to meet in a dark alley! creaturerevenge.....Your Vlad the Impaler/vampire theme was awesome! Good job! Well Done!

But I have to say that your daughter is my favorite :) She is just a magical little darling! So CUTE! Great pictures :)
My brother and I, circa about 1971 as W.C. Fields and Groucho Marx. We usually slapped together pretty good costumes, for goofy kids.

For Halloween 2013, I'm going to be Eddie Van Halen and play the Van Halen guitar I made and have a laptop bag to carry my effects and amp so that I will have a portable LOUD guitar.
I've finished painting the white stripes and the black stripes will be added next.
I'm wearing my 2013 tour shirt from their show, which was awesome. Here it is:
