Freddy Krueger Costume

All these costumes look amazing, love the work you've all put in to add a bit of personality to your jumpers :) I started work on preparing my Freddy Jumper today, and I would like to share the process so far.
 
Looks pretty good, I think the "Jumper" is heading in the right direction, looks more random with the burns, but could use more weathering/dirt. Looks awesome though :)

Thank you, I am going to add some more weathering to it to dirty it up a bit more and add a few burns and scorches to the back. I don't want to do anymore to the front, I think less is more with this. And as it's not based on any particular Elm St movie, there's really no reference to compare it to :)

ps, forgot folks in the States call Jumpers "Sweaters" haha
 
take a lighter and lightly char some parts of the shirt. then take some black and brown paint, water them down, stir it up with a brush and splatter the shirt from a few feet away. you can even smere some on with a rag and grind it in to the pavement. I got a little carried away with some of the burn holes, but other than that was completely pleased with my results.

Good tip Jacobzking, but I want mine to look natural, which is the reason I burnt mine rather than use black spray paint. Using paint to me just seems too deliberate. I do love the way yours looks tho. For mine I blow torched the whole thing, then went back and added a few random scorch marks. It still has a burny smell to it haha.
