Jason X Life-sized Costume - sirbrad - 02-15-2010
I wanted to do this one for years now as I have never seen anyone do a full costume with lots of detail really except Wickedbeard, and never seen a life-sized Jason X. I got this about 95% done and it was about a 9 out of 10 on the pain in the hiney meter, right behind part 7 at 9.8. I was going to do a full frozen version but I did not want to cover all the details up with ice/frost, and may make storing it a pain. I might do another suit with that since I bought specific clothes for this. The hood is from Bellamy, I added my own hair from a mohair beard I bought that worked great for hairing. This was my first time ever hairing a mask but I did not go for perfection here being it should look kind of choppy for Jason X. I added a little more hair than the movie just in case some falls out, but I used tacky glue and it seems to work well.I like the bald look better but I am pretty happy with how this looks. Bellamy only added a few pieces so I wanted to get it fuller to match the movie more. I believe Els Studios sculpted the hood and I also got my Hockey Mask from Earl, it came with the full frozen look which looked awesome. I took some ice off of it however as I did not want it to stand out too much and detract from the rest of the costume as I decided not to ice it much as silicone smells pretty foul. But I may add some moderate ice and frost later to the whole costume. I could not find any neck manacles that were even close, so I ordered a set of the only Halloween kind that I could find, and even they were hard to find. Only one site had them and it was out of the USA! The neck manacle was HUGE so I cut it down and taped the middle to keep it flexible, then painted them and added some velcro tabs on the ends so that I could put it on the neck being it would not fit over the head now. It is still even a tad too big. I was going to go with a complete rusted look, but changed them to some rust on top of black and metalic and some browns. I cut some plastic chain links apart and glue them for the side links on the collar. I used a smaller chain instead of the huge one that came with the set for the manacle and wrist shackles.I made the eyes too using latex, cardboard, and a doll eye which I use a lot, and shaped all of the skin around it and painted them and perma-wetted them. I also cut lines into the eye and painted red for a bloodshot effect which turned out great. I left the eye wide for now but later I may close it more. On the other eye I did the closed missing eye effect as well. I was going to add the fake looking black eye like in some scenes of the movie, but I think the closed missing eye looks better. I made my own straight jacket out of a brand new $20 Jesse James shirt from Walmart. This took A LOT of work and time to get right. I hated buying a new shirt to cut up but it is the only shirt I could find anywhere that would work. I put it on backwards and went to work. It fits the mannequin a little too tight backwards and brings the arms more narrow than I like, but that is how it has to be if I want to wear it. I got it as accurate as possible and still wearable which is tough.I used a belt to add a strap/buckle, and was going to go with the open jacket look but decided to let a piece in the front like in the beginning of the movie. So this is kind of a combination of all the looks. I did not do the triangular cut in the shirt because I would have to waste a whole shirt just for that one little area, or build it in and make it harder to put on the mannequin. So I left that out. I also did all of the gunshots and various colors for the rotten ooze that flowed out. I made the broken chain shoulder straps out of the bigger chain links that came with the manacle set and they turned out pretty cool. I also made velcro straps for the straight jacket on the shoulders and on the bottom of the cardboard so that you can adjust them or take them off to fit different shoulder types, being I really bulked my mannequin up so I did not want them in a permanent position that may fall down when wearing.I also cut out tiny pieces of cardboard with a hole puncher to simulate fake bolts which turned out great. I just got some awesome latex hands too from Handiboy, and added some leather gloves that I also bought new to cut lol. I might have a machete for this too soon. I kept the buttons in the back of the straight jacket for wearability, and simply painted the strip to simulate the straight jacket and shoulder straps. But so far I really like how it turned out. I can't wait to try this on. I wanted to get bigger clothes for the mannequin but I always just get about one larger size than I wear so I can use both for costuming and displays, saves time and money for both. That is all I can think of for now. I will post the better daylight pics maybe tomorrow. Here are some though that I took during the production. I need to get started on another huge life-sized that I wanted to do for also for years, and this one should be done in a few weeks and may possibly be on a worldwide DVD release! Stay tuned! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

Gotta say bro.that is one cool display.I generally do not like overkill on the weathering, but on this one it looks great, as it nails the end scene shot all to hell look pretty darn good.The straightjacket looks really good.And as far as the eye situation, Kane pretty much just closed his left eye.He wore a simple prosthetic headpiece in the movie so everything from the ears down is all him.Good to see another awesome X costume .I have always liked this looked and it never gets enough love.Keep up the good work!!This is one of the hardest suits to make IMO, and I applaud your efforts!!

Jason X Life-sized Costume - sirbrad - 02-15-2010
Thanks. Yeah I wanted to combine most of the looks and I wanted the weatherin from the end scenes and gunshots etc. Funny thing is I actually held back as I wanted to to weather it even more because I went into part 7 mode lol. Yeah Kane's eye was closed mostly, but there was also a fake black eye in some scenes, like the one with the "kid" jumping on his back before he breaks the kids back. Just looks like a big black eye. I watched the entire movie about 20 times fram by frame lol. That took awhile. Yeah I am going toi be adding some frost to this but will be doing an entired ice suit too maybe later. Camera doesn't do this justice but I am going to try and get outside pics now. Your X costume really inspired me years ago to tackle this one, and before that I was not sure I could ever do this. I am glad I am very creative lol. It was a MAJOR pain but also a lot of fun and very gratifying at the end to see it all together.
