This was a bit of a rush-job. I had three weeks' notice, and only weekends and spare time to work on it. It's been a lot of late nights and panic but I'm quite happy with the result. I literally completed the mask half an hour before the taxi came and first saw the whole thing complete in the mirror in the bathroom of the venue.
The event was a celebration of An American Werewolf in London at the Curzon Cinema - just around the corner from where the movie was filmed.
Thanks for looking - hope you like the pictures!
Completed costume (trying to match the movie scene):
With John Landis:
(The Jack makeup was an impromptu job I built up directly on my friend's face in liquid latex).
Landis was kind enough to sign the helmet for me:
He was also sufficiently impressed with the costume that he took me out behind the scenes to show Jenny Agutter who had come along but was not officially there to meet the public!
A couple of in-progress shots of the clay sculpt:
Finished mask:
I documented making the mask here if you want the gory details:
