    You have to cover the latex and your face with a matching foundation, otherwise it looks like someone threw oatmeal at you.

    I'm thinking about getting dressed up as Dr.Horrible, but i can't seem to find a shoulder buttoned lab coat anywhere. does anyone know what they are specifically called and if there is any place online i can order one?
    also i might need the goggles too, i think they are welding goggles. i have ones that look very similar i just need to spray them and add some camera filters for that extra piece on the front.

    Well, after calling her it turns out that she is going as a leopard, so im fucked.

    I'm going to a party one of my best friends is throwing

    I'll know next to no one there, except for her, her boyfriend and a mutual friend we've both known for quite a while.

    I'm going as a Knight Hospitallier

    It's going to be kickass

    I DID IT!!!

    haha after seeing this thread I became obsessed with making that my costume. Here are the results.
    mouseheadpicture003.jpg
    mouseheadpicture001.jpg

    I will be wearing it down to orlando and it is very awesome.

    This was made by me from scratch. Materials included
    2 plastic flower pots
    2 tap lights
    about 30 sticks of hot glue
    7 yards of fabric
    2 sheets of house insulation
    1 roll of ducktape

    I suffered a minor cut and a severe burn to my leg as well as multiple lacerations to my fingers (box cutters are sharp)

    all in all i am very happy with the final product. I am going to wear it and a red pinstripe suit to all the fancy clubs down in orlando on the 31st!

    His music is actually pretty cool now that I have listened to it.

    It wasn't that hard to make though I bet you could do it if you tried. The materials all total only cost about 75$

    If you really want it though let me know and I would consider selling it after halloween.

    Does anyone know how to get that effect of making your teeth all black? I can't really find any pictures (I guess I just don't know how to search properly), but it's kind of the effect you see in a lot of zombie movies or those American versions of Japanese horror movies where the ghost opens it's mouth and the teeth have black stuff all over and maybe they've got black lipstick on or something.

    Any ideas for dressing as the LHC?

    I'm going out with my niece & nephew (both under 4), so it's really just for my own amusement, but thought it'd be fun.

    So far I've got:
    -long sleeve shirt with "Size: Large" written on the back collar, and was thinking of just some aluminum foil coiled around my waist or something?

    I am looking for a Waldo sweater. I would rather not make one, I have seen sites that show how to.

    I looked around local stores and thrift shops but nothing! I have also been looking online a lot, but maybe someone on here knows something I don't.

    Thanks!

    Look for a double breasted chefs jacket.
    The goggles are weldors goggles, sprayed and dry brushed.
    The gloves are weldors gloves either dyed or sprayed(I think sprayed) to the proper color.
    You could also do the death ray by spraying and dry brushing a Nerf or other similar toy gun(See avatar)

    It's not a Deathray that's all Johnny Snow!

    Also, you can go to a costume shop and get the mad scientist costume pack and it's perfect.

    Based on the costume research I did for my boyfriend last year, I was sure Waldo didn't actually wear a sweater, but a red/white rugby shirt (you know, with a collar.). Google image search did NOT support my theory. There's actually a pretty huge seeming Waldo impersonation flashmob group that uses the Stanford rugby shirt as their standard. In any case, the shirt's a lot easier to find than the sweater. The hat, on the other hand, was harder to find.

    oh awesome, thanks. i was thinking about doing the 'stun/death' ray, i need to see if i can get a cheap toy gun and spray it. also i need to find out how to dye welders gloves. most of them look like they are leather.

    Why do you want to dye the gloves? There are ones out there that are the proper color.

    I'm really struggling to figure out a good costume. My leading idea is really a Canadian Tuxedo.

    I posted this in D&D too, but I figured it would go to some use here too. I found a pretty good layout of a scout costume online. I know it's probably a popular one so here ya go if you're lost on what to get, or how to hem the pants.

    So I'm probably gonna end up going as Travis Touchdown this year, surprisingly I already have the red jacket, jeans, glasses, and shoes. I'm having trouble finding any of the dozens of shirts avaible in the game itself that are maybe sold somewhere. Anyone have any good links to any official/non-official No More Heroes t-shirts? Preferably in the US.
