Photography by: Françous
Costume made by: Me and Zen (www.facebook.com/KeAbtium)
The costume originally came to be due to an invite from my good friend JoJo PandaFace. The original core group would be Jojo as Chuckie, me as Jason and Jessica Nigri Fan Page as Freddy.
I am not traditionally a horror fan. I had a fairly strict upbringing, so these movies were things I never watched and had a bit of fear about watching them. But doing this character seemed to be a good enough excuse to push past those fears.
At the writing of this build blog, I have now seen the first Friday the 13th and plan to watch the others as soon as I get more time.
The costume wasn't without it's challenges, between time and budget we would have our work cut out for us.
Weapons:
The reference art includes an axe and a machete. Zen and I worked on the weapons together. We needed something con safe, but we also needed something that wouldn't break the bank, so we relied on using Rubies costume weapons which were sub par at best. But with a little sanding and some very creative painting, we were able to transform them.
The iconic hockey mask:
I needed something smaller, and while we hope to get a head cast for me in the not too distant future and hopefully we will sculpt out a custom mask for me. So in our searches, we determined that the mask that came with the DVD collection would make for an ideal mask for the side of my head. AND it would let me watch the first 8 films at least at my leisure.
The clothing:
These are all found items from vintage stores mostly. The top is an American Apparel top that we had to custom dye to match the art better. It was then distressed accordingly.
The pants and boots were both vintage store items, The pants wear altered and distressed to look like the art and the boots, which were originally grey were painted using Angelus paint. Black, and then some dry bushed brown, finally followed up with some fresh blood spatter
The coat was a vintage leather jacket find on Ebay and we are still not certain that we love the color, but it was as close as I could find under the circumstances. It too was distressed accordingly.
The wig was from Arda Wigs and was styled to look more like the reference art.
Blood and wound FX: Aside from the weapon FX, the actual blood/wound FX was done very last minute with very little preparation. We plan to improve on this area by learning some new skills. The trick is using something that will last for a long time, won't overly irritate the skin and will continue looking wet without being overly sticky.
The blood FX on the weapons was experimental and we felt like it worked out pretty well. A couple of friends who had done some FX on weapons prior to this shared their secret of using Tamiya's X-23 clear read which dries glossy. That mixed with some other colors, epoxy, hair and chunks of sponge made for some grizzly FX on the blades of the weapons.
