Thread: I was a Teenage Haunter: My Freddy Glove 1988

Tweet

Visiting my folks the other day. I was showing my old room to my wife. (It still looks like it belongs to a fourteen year old.) Sitting high atop a shelf, was a piece of my haunting past. In high school, my favorite movies were the Nightmare on Elm Street series. So for Halloween 1988, my senior year. I dressed up as Freddy & handed out candy at my parent's house. I thought you all might like seeing a seventeen year old's attempt at Freddy's glove. Made from a old leather glove and sheets of hand-formed aluminum (yes even for the blades). I think I epoxied the blades to the glove and used about a half dozen diferent spray cans of Testors model paint to detail it. I didn't have access to rivets so instead bolted everything together, and then ground them down.

Not sure what happened to that missing blade.

hahaha thats awesome!

Looks nice! I'm currently making a Freddy glove for a friend of mine!

Looks really cool...the missing blade? freddy had one chopped off?? lol

Actually, I think I may have left it stuck in a TOT. J/K

Wow, that brings back memories. Every other ToT was Freddy one year.

roflmao!!!

WOAAAHH

that is awesome, i'd love to run up to a T.O.T wearing that and a freddy mask, and watch their face

I think you did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice job. And it's cool that you found it after all of these years.
