You guys and girls are creeping me right the heck out!
 
Re: DEXTER KILLED ME - PHOTO CONTEST - Win Prop Replicas from Dexter!

BTW, if anyone needs any info on what you need for creating a kill room, I managed to snag the info from one of the short segments that was presented with one of the recent reruns of the show that Showtime did as preparation for the new season. Here's the information (straight from one of the prop department guys):

Supplies:
Plastic Wrap
Packing Tape (for taping up the painters drop cloth plastic)
Duct Tape
4 Millimeter Painter's Drop Cloth (selected by the prop department due to the weird appearance it has with the lighting)

For the victim:
Plastic Wrap for around the mid-section and feet.
Duct Tape for the head (use a piece to Double-face the back side of the tape for the forehead, so the tape is not in direct contact with the skin of your actor/model).

Lighting:
Standard clip-on light (aka clamplight, like you'd find at any Wal-Mart or home improvement store) and 100 watt lightbulb.

I figured for those who haven't yet submitted can find this useful if they were trying to figure out what they use for the show. If this is inappropriate, let me know and I'll remove this reply.

Alright everyone, here is my entry

Dexter: Last Call

Dexter's newest victim Jim; a murdering, drug smuggling, sex trafficking aficionado who does his business through a local bar he runs. Dexter has had his eye on Jim for about a week now. It wasn't until Astor, Dex's rebel step daughter whom of which is now 21, went missing shortly after a dispute broke out between them over her new "boyfriend" Keith that forced Dexter to ask his sister Deb for help.

Deb and the police dept are out looking for Astor while Dexter hold his focus on Jim.

The polices investigation leads them to Astor and Keith's whereabouts, upon further examination they discover Keith had kidnapped Astor for Jim's morally unsound business. Meaning Keith was only a part of something much larger. Their observations lead them to Jim at his bar one night.

It is now closing time at the bar and Jim is all alone. Dexter, waiting patiently behind a dumpster, pounces with his syringe of M99 when Jim takes out the trash for the night. Jim awakens wrapped in tarp on the bar top with pictures of his victims attached to chairs at the bar to witness the impending retribution.

In the midst of Dexter's sadistic ritual, the faint sound of sirens caress his ears, igniting a new sense of haste in his endeavor...

My roommate and I put this together in the bar that I run after hours. Brought a couple other friends to set up the lighting and take the pictures. The tarp and wrappings were purchased at Lowes while Dexter's outfit was basically put together with supplies found in my bar. The blue tint was created by the glow of the jukebox in the background, partially covered with black trash bags.
-Special thanks to my roommate Mike for playing Dexter, my cousin Joe for helping with the plot structure and to my friends Tim and Joe for providing the lights and cameras.

Poor Home Depot is wondering why their painting plastic is running off the shelves in record numbers...

Great entry! Love how the blue light looks like it could be police lights in the background. :)

792397_414327735315051_116682451_o.jpgMy Entry- CELEBRITY KILLTABLE- I do a Dexter cosplay at horror conventions in which I set up a 8x8ft party tent (killroom) and a massage table (killtable) and fans get to interact with me as if they were Dexter's victims. And they get to keep a bloodslide of their "blood" (a pretend cut and theatrical blood).This event is called "The Dexter Experience". When I did the Days of the Dead horror convention in Feb.2013,I ran into my good friend Melissa Cowen,best known as the famous "Bicycle Zombie" in AMC's First season of The Walking Dead. She was a great sport and enjoyed every second on the table. I now have what is called ''The celebrity killtable" in which Brian O'holloran from Clerks,wrestling legend Jim Cornet,and even Butch Patrick "Eddie Munster" from The Munsters have all fell victim to the bayharbor butcher. Those who did not appear on the table but gave me great compliments on the concept were Wrestling great Diamond Dallas Page,Micheal Berryman(The hills have eyes),and Peter Chris from KISS. Ahhh...its good to portray a serial killer

Freaky pic Nightmareman. Facial expression wise you have a pretty scary Hannibal Lecter thing going on too!
 
Re: DEXTER KILLED ME - PHOTO CONTEST - Win Prop Replicas from Dexter!

So would it be cool if I posted a pic of a prop just as a "show and tell?" Cause there's something I made that I'm sure everyone would find interesting, but it's not my contest submission (my previous pic is my submission). But just let me know.
 
Re: DEXTER KILLED ME - PHOTO CONTEST - Win Prop Replicas from Dexter!

Very nice Nightmareman! :thumbsup

U2fan24, go ahead. :) Just at the top of your post type "this is not a submission" so I know when I'm collecting all the pics.
 
Re: DEXTER KILLED ME - PHOTO CONTEST - Win Prop Replicas from Dexter!

Hey, I'm still not certain if I can pull this off before the deadline, especially since the weather here is terrible and my idea involves being outside, but I just wanted to ask a clarifying question.

Is Photoshop completely out of the question? I don't want to use it to alter the actual photo at all, just to add text to it.

Completely out. No text. You can type an entire novel in your post tough. :)

THIS IS NOT A SUBMISSION



Hey,
Ok so here’s my show and tell pics. I took a college program in 2009 and one of our “in class” assignments was to make a Dexter scalpel. The teacher I had did a lot of work for all the “Saw” movies (weapons, animatronics puppets etc…) so I trust his instinct that this is how the screen used Dexter scalpel works.

In the pics seen above there’s a thin pvc tube attached to a syringe filled with fake blood which is sealed tightly with glue. The other end of this pvc tube fits snug through a brass tube which is tightly attached to the back side of the scalpel. (It IS a real scalpel which has been dulled and filed down.)

This allows for the cutting action and the blood to flow all in one shot. Ever notice how in all the scalpel scenes they’re always close up shots? Well… I guess that’s cause there must be a “puppeteer/guy” hidden in the shot or under the table pumping the syringe.

I also do Hannibal at the conventions as well.

This is my favorite, I love it. fantastic prop
 
Re: DEXTER KILLED ME - PHOTO CONTEST - Win Prop Replicas from Dexter!

Thanks GhostFace :D
The only reason this isn't my submission pic is because they said they were judging mostly on creativity. Since the scalpel was a class assignment, it took no creativity at all. We were all just told to make one, so... it is what it is. But I never watched Dexter until this year, so I completely forgot that it was a prop from the show. But as soon as I saw the first epesode I thought to myself "OMG that's the thing I made"!
