Looking for someone to make a Glenn Strange Frankenstein foam headpiece.

They would probably need a mold of your head.

I'd be okay with one made from a general sized head. The headpiece I have thats slowly breaking down is just round on the inside with no real detail from a life cast.

Oh, you just want it for display. I thought you wanted to do a makeup.  :)

no, for makeup purposes. I got a pretty small head. In a fedora I wear a size 6 7/8 lol. Average size heads are a 7 to a 7 1/2 so as long as its general sized I can make it work. I've found a couple of appliances online that's the full headpiece not just the forehead but they bear little to no resemblance to the original Glenn Strange headpiece. I can use the wig from the one I have now I just need the foam headpiece. I've thought about buying a mask from Trick or Treat Studios and cutting out the face, but their mask favors the Don Post Masks more than the actual Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein makeup.

No self-respecting makeup pro is going to create a custom-fitting foam appliance for you
without a life cast of your head to build it up onto. Such a process is going to run into the
thousands of dollars. Your best bet is to seek out a latex casting of a Don Post mask known
as the "smooth Glenn" Frankenstein. It's always been considered undersized and was molded
off the 1948 movie makeup. Trim it to your needs and you're good to go a-haunting.
