The inspiration for this Homemade Frankstein Wants His Mummy Costume came from a pregame show at an Altoona Curve Baseball game.

After moving to Canada from Australia last year I never realized how many people get into Halloween here. Wanting to get into the spirit of things, I decided on a costume/character that I could easily construct, remain unique and something that people could easily identify.
