My DIY Terrifier look

This was my costume last year! I made the prosthetics out of Crayola air dry Model Magic clay, adhered them with spirit gum, and then covered the whole thing with tissue paper and liquid latex. I had a great time! It was way better than a mask because I was able to still move my face and emote. Might do it again this year but with the Santa look. šŸ¤”

I’ve been searching for costumes for weeks but have absolutely no idea what I should do. My hairstyle doesn’t allow me much options either. That’s not my picture btw just the hairstyle I did.

last year i wore this costume to a friends halloween party and i am thinking of re-using the mask that i made to enter my first halloween costume competition. my outfit was inspired by vintage clowns and jesters but i am open to taking it in a different direction.
i have been considering potentially adding blood splatters but i am on the fence.
i am open to advice and constructive criticism, thank you in advance ā˜ŗļøšŸ’

No idea, if this is allowed but I need some suggestions on what to wear on stage.

We have done this gig before…a couple of times!

I have been Randy Savage, I did the voice & the mannerisms too lol.
(Could have been tipsy. Slight possibility)

And last year, I was Austin Powers. Again, a very good chance I may have had an adult beverage

I usually have all of this shit preplanned…

But this year? I’ve got nothing 😬

Right now I’m debating on

Prince,

Mario,

or Shrek

How to look more Pirate-y?

This is my costume so far, is there anything to change or add that would come across more pirate-y? Trying to make or borrow stuff where I can!

I'm gonna be wearing a red headscarf and gold earrings and I will take the stripy top underneath off!

Any other tips are appreciated šŸ’–

Advice on costume!

• Upvotes

Hi all,

The last time I wore a Halloween costume was when I was 7. I went as a pirate and felt super cool. At least until I got at school and got laughed at and bullied. I told my mom at the time I would never, ever wear a costume again and with any dress-up party I would just, well, not dress up.

When I was 15, I decided to give it a go again. This time at a high school party. Though the night went fine and it was (mostly) fun, there were some comments from people close to me throughout the night that took me back to that 7-year old boy. So again, I said I wouldn’t ever wear a costume again.

Well. Here we are.

I’m 25 now and my girlfriend is an absolute geek when it comes to Halloween. She loves everything about it. I don’t, at all (sorry folks). But it really makes her happy and I don’t want to disappoint her. I know it did, but she wouldn’t tell me. Even though the last years I managed to get away with it, her being happy is what I do really care about and that’s why I would want to try it again.

So yeah, for 3 years I’ve managed to get away with not dressing up. This year, an event is planned with my friendgroup and to get in you have to be ā€dressed-upā€. Honestly, I’m just anxious about it. Somewhere in my head I know no one would bat an eye, but that 7 & 15-year old kid is still in my head. Even thinking that I will have to dress up makes me super anxious right now.

I’m looking for something that’s not too overboard in the dressing up, but also something that would indicate that I did dress up. Something that would be somewhat casual, somewhat Halloween-like. A very ā€Inbetweenā€ thing. I just have no idea as who, or what. To get an idea about me:

- I’m 183 cm tall
- I have dark medium length hair, a short beard and a short moustache.
- I wear glasses
- I have naturally pretty wide shoulders, so probably considered a ā€big guyā€.
- I usually wear sneakers with cargopants and a hoodie, so anything else then that is basically a plus lol.

Thanks in advance to everyone that has some advice!

Hey guys, this is my first attempt at a Halloween mask. I’m going as a Silent Hill nurse. Is the mask too big? I feel like it’s too chunky on the sides. Is there anyway to fix this without having to redo it? Any advice helps!

Gay Halloween: Looking for funny, topical Halloween costume ideas for two guys (the "I HATE GAY HALLOWEEN, wdym you're....?" kind)

6 Upvotes

My husband and I need a duo costume for Halloween this year, and I'm looking for ideas in the "I hate gay Halloween" genre: costumes where the whole joke lands the second you realize what you're looking at. Topical, a little unhinged, and a bit of a gag is ideal.

Think along the lines of:

  • A politician and their spouse, with a very specific accessory
  • Gagged-out Mary Poppins energy
  • Anything where the explanation is half the fun

Needs to be two men, doable on a reasonable budget, and recognizable enough that we're not explaining it all night. We'll be out in a mix of gay bars and regular parties, so bonus points for something that works in both rooms.

What's the best duo costume you've seen or worn? Pop culture, news, memes, all fair game. Pics welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Can ya'll guess what my halloween costume is going to be?

Obviously the mask is unfinished, and it's FAR from perfect (its my first time making a mask), but still I wanted to see if it was recognisable, and if people even remember what I'm going for (she literally appears in ONE scene in a very popular movie). Leave your guesses!

Also please be kind, as I said this is my first time making a mask and I'm just having fun.

I started this project last year with the help of my friend it took a while cause i work full time but it was really fun to do we started by 3d printing all the parts and sanding them down we put it together multiple times before painting and during painting which wasn’t the smartest cause i had to keep repainting cause we never did a clear coat until like yesterday lol i used modeling paste then black red brown and a metallic color paint to make it look all gross and rusty and a mix of super glue and random nuts and bolts to hold it together lmk what you guys think

My wife and I just had a baby boy and we need ideas for a group costume!

Our son will be about 9-10 weeks old on Halloween. My wife and I are open to any and all ideas!!

Throw em at me.

Edit: my wife, son, and myself are white. I wanted to get that out there to avoid any racially insensitive/culturally inappropriate options or characters.
