We were simply the Ghostly Hosts of the Manor this year. We had almost no time for proper makeup what with all the food and last minute prep going on. Next year, we plan to find some assistants to do that sort of thing for us so we can spend more time on our own makeup.

I'm planning on working at a Christmas Haunt this year in southern California. Here's the character I made up:

The Reindeer Slaughterer
An elf who euthanizes sick reindeer at the North Pole. Humanely, of course (most of the time). He has a tendency to take a few things from his dead animals to keep for himself or give as gifts to naughty children. After seeing his collection, you're going to hope that all you get is a lump of cole in your stocking!

I'm currently making a costume for it

Even without 'proper' makeup, you both look good

Made my daughter an Astrid costume from the movie how to train your dragon. She wore this at Disney World. It wasn't 100% movie accurate but it did the trick also it stayed together throughout the night. I think she lost two spikes from her shoulder armor that's it.

Nice job on her outfit, dubbax3

 

[hallorenescene]

dubbax3, the costume turned out real good. your daughter looks cute sporting it.

 

[ethanasg48]

Stunning sharing. All costume look so beautiful, But some look Ghost.

dubbax3, the costume turned out real good. your daughter looks cute sporting it.

Thanks glad you liked it. I spent all this time on it figuring she would wear it Halloween night too but it was just too cold and snowy. We improvised and she wore my reinvented Gummy costume.

 

[hallorenescene]

dubax, i don't see a gummy costume, guess i don't know what one is supposed to look like, but your daughter looks very cute. and i love the character on her back.

For 2011, I decided to go for a Celtic Warlord type design, resurrecting my Skeletal Warrior types of costumes. I build everything myself from scratch or as close to it (Because I don't want to MAKE wigs when I can buy them, etc) and just go with it. My little sister, wanted to fit my theme as well, so I designed and made her a costume as well.

My costume was made from various materials, including Leather with metal findings, several different fabrics, wood, fillers, lots of custom airbrushing, a complete reindeer pelt, set of antlers, prop severed head (which cannot really be seen hanging from my shoulder in the video) plastic maille (I make real steel armour as a hobby/trade, but I wanted a bigger, more rotted look) which I pitted and airbrushed to resemble rusted steel, some Bucky skulls and several other things and animal parts. My sister's costume was much the same, with a wooden shield and custom wooden sword, like my own, as well as a modified storebought helmet and a fox pelt. I did not get to do as much as I wished for my body, because it was all rushed and done "in a day" because Life kept getting in the way and this year has been particularly hard on my family and I have been caring for my Mum since my Father's passing in April. He always loved Halloween, so we did our best to go all out (As we do every year anyhow) My costume was ridiculously heavy (Having armour and three Bucky skulls strapped to one arm all night while swinging that giant, heavy sword around is hard work, even without the rest of the outfit) but with dedication, I kept it on and terrified my Trick-Or-Treaters all night. The sheer size of this costume was rather huge, even if the photos do not capture it well, but with the small mini-stilts (maybe eight inches) and increased head/shoulder size, it was rather intimidating, I think.

(I like this one, because it is the only one with a good shot of the arrows sticking out of my back)

 

[The-Dullahan]

Every year, I make a new costume and place my old one in the lawn someplace, to confuse visitors, who come from all around to see me. Among them are these two.

From last year, a custom Stalk Around costume, utilizing an incredibly heavy frame with linked movements for complete head motion, large extensive arms (about a 13 foot arm span, with MY arms fully extended, but the monster's arms still not all the way out) and stilts, to increase the height and make the knees seem in a more "natural" position. This costume makes a very effective Stand Alone prop as well.

From a few years earlier, utilizing stilts again, a Scarecrow costume, which proved quite effective, because it is very easy to blend in with the other decorations and leap out at children and adults, who have not even the slightest expectation that such a monster is actually a human.

 

[hallorenescene]

dullahan, your costumes are wonderful. the ones you made for you and your sister are my favorites. you did a lot of nice detailing. and the fact you can stand your costumes and use them in your haunt later doubles their value. very nice

 

[22606]

What did you do to the poor Monopoly man, dubbax3?

Nice costumes, The-Dullahan. I couldn't help but notice the hearse, too

 

[The-Dullahan]

Ah, thanks guys.

Yeah, I have a Hearse. I'd like to keep it forever, it's my first car. It encompasses all my favorite automotive qualities. It's black, it's a Vintage Luxury Sedan, It has room for Cargo and it has style. Basically, all the qualities of my other cars put together in one deluxe, 22-foot-long package. Also, a constant restoration project, but that's another story altogether.

Actually, the reason I really joined here was research into 3 axis skulls. In an automotive or mechanical sense, I can build anything and I can easily make a 3 axis skull, but have never done any kind of programming. From what the Forum has taught me a program called (I believe) Picaxe works very well for my personal application, because I want to have it perform a random loop of animation with no real audio for it to be set to.

In the window of my car, I have "Lenore" from TheHorrorDome.com (A grave riser Zombie prop) but after the years, she is nearing inevitable retirement, due to exposure to Florida sunlight. My plans is to re-envision her as a more decayed Lenore. I have all the know-how to a custom fabricate and detail a Bucky skull in that sense, but I want to hook it to a 3 axis platform that randomly cycles, looking back and forth, up and down, opening and snapping her jaw and whatnot, all on a 12v system triggered to operate whenever my car is running.
