Thread: Any ideas on how I can protect my head? :D

Tweet

I have this pretty realistic looking Freddy Krueger severed head I was thinking about carrying around on Halloween night, but I'm kinda worried that some drunk may try to grab it or something. I'm not planning on staying too late, but I still worry. I've thought about getting a cheaper mask, but I hate to spend the cash when I already have a good one.

So anyone have any ideas on how I can kinda keep it attached to my gloves. Only thing I can think of is super glue or velcro or something, and/or stand near the cops in case I need some back-up. lol.

I also discovered this on ebay - A Freddy Krueger arm glove prop. Maybe I'll go with that instead for plan B.

Find some way to attach a lanyard to it. Similar to the one on a camera. Do that and all you have to do is put it around your wrist.

The dollar store sells the magnetic personal alarms, add velcro between the mag switch and place the siren end in the head, place the other on a lanyard around your wrist, if the connection is broken, the alarm travels with the head, making it "undesirable" to posses. They will probably bring it back to you

That is a cool idea, but I worry it may mess up the effect, but that would work. I was also thinking of using super glue on the palm of my glove and sticking the head to it. Think that would work?

One good yank & the mask will probably break away from glove,......super glue is nice but it won't stop someone from trying.......

It does suck that you / we have to worry about others grab & running off with our stuff like this,...... maybe carry a big fake axe to ward them off in the 1st place......oh ya, then there's he Po-Po ya gotta worry about then,.........

I like the personal alarm one, no one would be expecting that !

How 'bout putting it in a nylon net bag with a drawstring that you can tie around your wrist? The open net will allow it to be seen readily. Net bags can be found in stores carrying camping supplies or some stores sell them to use to launder fine washables. I would bloody the bottom of the bag though,

Yeah, someone on another forum suggested going with a bag of sme sort. Like a mesh laundry bag, but a nylon net bag would be cool too. I think a bag may be the way to go. I agree, it's a shame that this has to even be a concern, but this is all based off past Halloween's when I've had drunks bother me, so I always like to be one step ahead of them.

I remember when this tiny drunk girl tried to grab the machete, she had no chance of even moving it. I just stood there with my grip on the handle and watched her try to take it, but she quickly gave up, then she laughed and said "Aw, almost!" - I glared at her, and made my one good eye as mean as I could make it, and growled loudly at her with plenty of anger in the tone. She had a look of pure terror and quickly got away from me. It was *awesome*. :-D

Another time some drunk guy just yelled "That's fake!", talking about the machete, then he had the nerve to even give a half-butt sissy backhand slap to my mask, and then just stand there with a stupid little grin. I got close to him, and just stared him down, waiting/hoping for him to attack me, so I could legally rough him up, but he just stood there and grinned like a cartoon weasel, and then a friend pulled me away. (Hopefully that weasel got arrested later.)


I've talked to others before online that have epic costumes, and they have told me the same type of stories. And I've worked at a haunted house before, and spoken to others who have done the same, and everyone has at least one story about hecklers. As nice as it would be just to get love from others, there are haters out there too sometimes that sadly can't just enjoy the fun and entertainment, and just love to pester. I don't mind if they shout hateful stuff, and I've gotten that, but when they start trying to get rough, that's when I REALLY use I had a real machete sometimes. Kidding!
