Hey Everyone

Next Year I plan as going as Spike the vampire from Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel

ofc I intend to go in full Vamp face ( the bumpy forhead, yellow contacts and fangs) I was just wondering if anyone out there has attempted to make their own vampire prosthetic and how it turned out

I am currently trying to make a test one (not for halloween but for a fan film) but i doubt it will turn out good

thanks in advance

Chin up. I did one years ago out of foam latex but now there are so many different ways to make quick and dirty appliances you really should have no problem.
Do you have a lifecast of your own face?

no im just making a really simple one by painting latex on a clay sculpt.
hopefully ill be picking up some stuff to do a cast of my face to get a much higher quality vamp forhead

Since straight Latex is all you have to work with If you get the latex edges really thin it should be fine. Blend the latex edge to your skin with tissue.

You might also want to check into foam latex for the appliance. It has a little more movement to it that regular latex. There is also silicone.

They did make & sell Spike & Angel appliances a few years back. You might be able to find one on Ebay or something.
