These aren't bad instructions.

It's simple enough really. You can do a good zombie face with a face painting pack containing white, red, and black paint. Talcom powder can work well for the white face either, or if you use it to dust over the white facepaint it helps it to stick so it wont rub off as easy.

You can achieve a a basic zombie look with just a white face, black around the eyes, particularly underneath, to give the idea that theyre sunken, a hint of red mixed through helps to give the idea of blood, bruising, etc. Then (as explained on the 2nd page of that link) you just need to draw some jagged lines in different places along your face to indicate cuts/scars, etc.

Anyone wanting to make scabs/wounds:

• Get some cornflakes and crush them up.
• With false eyelash glue (any cheapo ones) create a line where you want the wound and apply to the skin.
• Leave the glue to go tacky and then press the crushed cornflakes on it.
• Colour with red body paint/lipstick/blood.
• There you have some nice scabs.

Does anyone know where I might get a super cheap corset type top? I want to make a dress but I can't make the top half of it myself so I want to just sew the right colour material to a bodice-type thing....

Any ideas? Couldn't find anything without straps in Penneys which is my usual halloween shop.

My boyf is trying to put a Jack the Ripper costume together. Anyone know where in Dublin we would get a reasonably priced top hat?

Theres a lace corset thing in the younger bit of Zara out the back of the store in henry st.

If you are getting costumes for your children remember a few things - ensure costumes are flame-resistant or fire-retardant, avoid long/baggy costumes to reduce the risk of flame catching the material and try and get a reflective/light coloured fabrics on costumes, this makes the child much more visible to passing motorists when out trick-or-treating.

Only seen this thread. Posted on the main forum there a minute ago! I need a set of veneer vampire fangs. I don't want the crappy kids ones you get in joke shops. I'm looking for something along the lines of this http://www.mostlydead.co.uk/Vampire-Fangs,-Creature-teeth,-Claws/c7/p174/Vampire-Fangs-(White,Glow,Metallic)/product_info.html

Anyone have any ideas?

They do 24 hour delivery if you order before 1pm. Cheaper than some places I've seen with some things.

i've never really dress up 4 halloween b4 so thinking of doing it simple and dressing up as a witch??
was goin to get a black dress in penneys and cut it up , wear fish net tights and black boots, get a hat in the pound shop and sum fake nails - Would i be able to pull it off or would i need to buy a proper costume!!?

OldGoat

I have to admit that I hate and loath 'proper' costumes. The fun of Halloween dressing up is the inventive and creative way people dress. Turning up to an event and seeing 20 people all dressed in a shop bought vampire outfit (or whatever) is so depressing. When someone walks in the door with something original they light up the room.
Make yer own. Hack up that dress and don the fishnets.

Atreyu

Anyone know where I can get my hands on a bald "wig" on the Northside to save myself heading back into the city centre - wanna go as Uncle Fester

Cheers

OldGoat

Swimming cap and flesh coloured paint/makeup for a bald wig.

I need a black corset, a long black leather studded arm cuff, some chains, studded belt, black wig and face paint. I'm super excited! My friend is gonna dress up as The Star Child! Hahah. Should be awesome.

We did this last week, great craic - I was the Starchild, we got 1st place at our Halloween party, beating off competition from JD Quench from the Sprite ads, and a Barbie in a box!




No idea what to go as Saturday night (dont even know for sure if I'll be going out) I still have the Kiss stuff but not enough fellow band members this time around. Maybe something a bit simpler like Mario and Luigi with mate..

I know there is a place on Thomas St. that sells stuff for plus sizes, maybe you'll get them in there? It's across the road from Lidl.

Hi all,

Ok I know what I'm going as but I need help on the finer details. I'm going as a Killer Bee, which basically involves dressing up as a bee and then accessorising with a gun, fingerless gloves, possibly a holster, but what else would you guys suggest to add to the Killer part??
