Custom 80's Slasher Costume

[🪦 Howlrunner ●]

With halloween on the way I've decided to get round to puting together a costume I've thought about for a long time - my own maniac costume inspired by 80's slashers - in fact it could be thought of as an extreme Jason Voorhees makeover.Instead of Jason's famous hockey mask, I've always like the vintage Mylec hockey mask - so I picked one up, sanded it with coarse sandpaper, cut it with a stanley knife and weathered it up.I paired it with a cheap(ish), good-quality full head halloween mask - "Prince Charming" from Don Post Studios - this one's especially good because it has no slit up the back and it just looks like an 80's slasher.At the moment I've got it on a display head with some spare plastic eyes I had.<img src=\"http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/msbillen/Maniac1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/msbillen/Maniac2.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/msbillen/Maniac3.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/msbillen/Maniac4.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />The rest of the costume is to come.....

That is too cool dude. I love the spin on that. That Hockey Mask is amazing and I love the splatter.

Looks good. I actually have wanted to do a custom Jason for a long time and had this Hockey Mask in mind. Got any pics of the undermask?

I then considered some of the great deformed hill billy type masks and zombie masks that I came across, but in the end I decided to go for something a lot cheaper (like, half the price) - I also didn't think it was worth getting a REALLY nice mask as you're not going to see much of it under the hockey mask. I just wanted something that covered the full head, preferrably wasn't split up the back and looked kind of deformed/mutated. In the end I went for this:<img src=\"http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/43000051/Images/25/6779215pm.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />And until most promotional images of masks, the mask that arrived actually looks EXACTLY like the mask in the picture.Working on weathering up a shirt, will have more to show soon.
