Thread: HELP! Undead doll idea's

Tweet

I'm going to be a doll this year and I need new ideas. I did something similar to a doll last year but it wasnt anything special [as seen below]



There wasnt anything creepy, anything sadistic. Just looked like...a doll. So I wanna know who out there has ever done anything doll related, if you'd be helpful, give me some hint and tips on how to better act, talk, look, etc; I'd rather stick with basic non specific face make up as well as latex, I dont haev the money to buy props or anything =/ Anything will help and its MUCH appreciated =] Sorry bout the pics, they were just taken at home because lighting at a haunt outside at night just isnt very sufficient, haha. Also, no blood because for some reason my doll just wasnt bloody =/ I want BLOOD this year! I was also thinking about curling my hair to make it look more doll like and synthetic like the pic below. P.S. All pics are of me. Anyway, I've got ZERO idea for a costume or how to have my hair. Should I tease it or curl it? And with clothing, its usually very warm the first two weeks of october, but then the last two it gets cold. So i'm going to have to add to my wardobe but not throw it off, any ideas for that as well? Thanks in advance. Pics would be great! Sorry bout the photo size, I dont know how to use BBCode..I'm an html person >.>

How about something like this, a cracked china doll face.

It seems pretty simple to do and all yo woud need are the white and black makeup.

I seen a doll that had the Wednesday Adams look from the Adams family , I thought it looked creepy. Check out the Living Dead Doll series , you might get some ideas there.

How about an anime style doll?

there are some super creepy wigs out that add a ton to a doll costume. I used this one last year and everyone loved it!

that is a beautiful wig, but I hate the price.

I'm watching this thread as I am going to be a creepy dolly this year for our party. I already got the dress, still looking around for hair and makeup ideas.

YouTube has several makeup artists that do different techniques for ventriloquist's dolls:
YouTube - Ventriloquist Doll Makeup for Halloween
YouTube - HALLOWEEN: Broken Dolly

Corpse Bride:
YouTube - Corpse Bride Makeup for Halloween

and the Joker scar effect:
YouTube - Heath Ledger Joker Makeup - How to do the Scarred Joker

Combining these techniques would be pretty great for a messed up dolly.

I found this wig that looks pretty decent for the price if you were going with a blond ringlet sort of hair: Godyssey Blonde Curls Wig - Costumes

I always had this twised idea for a doll. The hair would be falling out on the top and she would have cracks all over her skin. All her teeth would be sharp and pointed and than her eyes would be all black with blood running from the sockets. But that would need scelera contacts which are pricey (trust me). But maybe blood running from the eyes would be cool.

you can use this to make the cracked skin effect it might come in other colors, if it doesnt then you could try a facial mask and it most likely will have the same effect

Hey Shay, this will give you an example of how the cracked china doll effect would look on you.

I love the simplicity of the stitched look you used last year! That's clean and easy yet so effective - sometimes simple is way more effective, I know I tend to go overboard and then dislike the results, trying to learn a little restraint now

I'd do that same/similar makeup and dress it up with a frilly doll costume - white tights with some more stitching, mary janes, and a babydoll style dress - high waist with lots of frilly skirts underneath.

Perfectly curled hair like Shirley Temple would be great - wig or natural. Kristen Dunst in "Interview with the Vampire" comes to mind, after she's been turned and has those perfect ringlets.
