Well this is my story, I like Halloween a lot, and I love make-up (special effects make-up to be more specific). This year I was doubtful, I didn’t know what I wanted to do but I definitely wanted to make something creepy, scary and original that involved special effects make-up. The thing is I’m a … Read more
I love the movie Slither and the character Grant Grant, so my wife and I took clear trash bags, liquid latex, paint, duct tape, poly fill, spray glue, tan shirt, and a pool noodle and made this bad boy. Only thing we didn’t make was the mask, and monster hand we painted! We took clear … Read more

I concocted this costume with a series of different thrift store items as well as a couple of home depot things that I plan on returning later this week lol. All except for the mask that I bought from a Halloween store, the jack o’lantern mask that quickly convinced me that I would be a … Read more

He is a firm believer of always making his costumes himself. Anyone who knows Dan, cannot wait to see what he thinks of each year. Since we’ve had children, he of … Read more
I have always loved the Nightmare Before Christmas! I know there are many fans of the movie and over the years, have seen some great costumes. At the same time there are some pretty cheap ones you can buy which just don’t do justice. Five years ago, I saw a great Jack Skellington costume walking … Read more
I was born in 1986, the year the animated series “The Real Ghostbusters” premiered, so to say I’ve been a lifelong fan of Ghostbusters would be quite accurate.
