Thread: Anyone Planning for 2010 yet?

Medusa. A very ambitious one. As I began research I found out about the Clash of the Titans remake. I have seen some very shoddy Medusa's, so it feels like a great challenge to bring it up a few notches from green pipe cleaners in the hair, haha.

LOL, I totally get it. You see I always liked that old cheesy Clash of the Titans, and always had in mind that Medusa was creepy like that clay-mation version...So yes, a NOT PRETTY Medusa works for me. I'd love to take that on one year. I say she should be greenish grey, veiny, green reptile lenses, and top it off with a split snake tongue for fun. Hmmmm...you can have a field day with this... As you can see from my previous Halloween pics, I tend to lean more toward the macabre myself. Good Luck.

Well, I am at least going to look into the cost factor as well as the somewhat bizarre makeup for the grotesque and scary Ugly Duchess character.



If things work out this would probably be the scariest and most unusual costume I have ever done.

TC

Here are 2 gowns that I dound. As I said in my pm, getting it in a plus size then altering it may be your least expensive route:







Also, when I look at that portrait (above), I see monkey. So how bout mixing 2 prosthetic pieces? The chimp below, add the neck piece and your almost done. Finish with the right makeup and shading and it a wrap!!





Wow, like I said earlier, I wish I could do this for you!

Now that portrait is what I call bizarre!

clowns are always fun.....alot of kids hate them

I'm really digging that design. I love the integration of the skeletal elements into the whole structure (especially the blade emerging from the skull's orbit). My tentative second costume is a reaper, and while I've kind-of decided on a really sleek and simple scythe, that is a beautiful design and makes me wish I could nudge my design to do something along those lines. Can't wait to see your finished prop!

Oh i always get made fun of for planning halloween early. But i don't like waiting til October to decide, that gives you no time to prepare!!!

Plus the best costumes always are done waaaay ahead of time. and i like my costumes looking authentic and not stupid haha.

I'm considering doing bride of frankenstein this year, but don't know what to do about the hair. Been looking at different ideas. I dont' wanna wear a wig tho...too ichy...

Don't worry phpknqueen ... feel free to vent all your Halloween plans here as we're all - obviously - thinking about these things year round, too! And you're right; there really is a world of difference between costumes that are started well in advance and those last minute get-ups. I look forward to seeing how you put together the Bride's costume. Someone on the forum must know how to get a bride-like hairdo sans wig.

Oh, and welcome to H.F.!

Ah...just ignore the taunters! We have a tradition of planning the next year's party theme while decorating for the current year's party. It helps as we're wearing out to revitalize ourselves by thinking that far ahead!

Our 2010 party theme is Dead Rock Cafe...have figured out some of the room themes, but am trying to figure out options for a costume. I have a tendency to spend so much time and effort on the decorations and party prep that I don't ever get much done on my costume. It has to be quick to assemble and put on for the day of the party. We're always swamped with things to do. So I'm surfing for ideas on the forum...you just never know what may jump out at you!

Oh, and we've already thought of our theme for 2011...Haunted Fairey Tales...that should be fun!


BTW, welcome to the forum!
