Thread: Need help with jeepers creepers costume

Tweet

Watched jeepers creepers last and decieded I want to be him for halloween.
I did some searching and I could only find cheap looking masks plus I hate wearing masks!

does anybody know if they make a jeepers creepers prosthetic? I couldnt find one and I did a big search.

For his teeth I already have a mouthguard custom built like his teeth.I use it for my MMA.

was able to find a coat like his fairlyin expensive from spirit

But I cant find his hat!

Help me out please my cyber ninjas!

For his hate I used a straw hat I found at Walmart... used latex and paper towels and coated it... ( so it didnt look like straw.)

For his face, I made a prosthetic for my face. I used liquid latex and toilet paper and built it up into the shape needed for the cheeks,forehead and nose. Then I made one for the chin.
Painted it with latex. It worked out awesome! But it was quite a job. I also made wings out of thin copper pipe shaped as desired then covered them with a thin tan colored fabric. To go a step further, I made the wings open and close. It was a great costume and I got a lot of scares our of it!
I don't have much of a how to on this, I really just started adding paper and latex until I got the shape I wanted..... I actually built the prosthetic on sarah wrap that I put on my face so that I would get the desired shape. I didn't have time to let it dry on my face but when dry, the latex was still flexible enough that it formed to my face just fine.
Let me know if you waht to try this I will try to help you out. I know it sounds a little invovled but its not.

sounds awesome Lynn! do you have pics?

I'll look around.... it was about 5 years ago!

i was able to find the hat it is called a "padre" hat

Great find on the hat!
