My Bloody Valentine costume

Just saw the 2009 version of My Bloody Valentine in 3D. Great movie! Must see in 3D. Any ideas on how to obtain or piece together a similar costume? Where to look, where to start...Thanks.

I'm a huge fan of the original, and given I grew up in a coal mining area, this is a costume I've always wanted to do as well.

Pretty much I would think a black jumpsuit and gas mask from an Army & Navy store (like I Goldberg in Philly), the hardhat with light, boots, gloves, a pic. You could probably assemble it all pretty cheaply.

This should be a pretty easy costume to assemble, but the effect would be great. Very scary!

Here's a good picture of the gas mask. It's a miner gas mask but I have not been able to identify the exact model yet.

It looks like a British WWII general service respirator. The bag is the MKVII (made famous by Indiana Jones), but I do not know if that is related the the respirator part number.

Wow, we all are on the right track. Getting close. I still haven't had any luck finding a look-alike My Bloody Valentine 3D movie gas mask. How about the lighted helmet? It looks like an older version than the helmets that are available today? If anybody finds any website links to online stores that may sell this equipment, please let us know.

Check attachment. How about this mask? I might be able to get it. It is inexpensive & maybe it can be modified with a hose??

The closest modern helmet I have found is the Aluminum cap style Skull Bucket.
