Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **
Hi everybody. I'm Tony, I'm from the Seattle, WA area. I started out as mainly a SFX guy, doing makeup, making facial appliances, some dental appliances, etc. But in the last 3 or 4 years I've started getting more into costuming and propmaking, since my standards for Halloween costume quality seem to go up every year. The only downside is that I pretty much only have conventional household tools to work with, since I am on a stupidly tight budget.
I'm a big geek, as overused as that term has become lately. But I'm a big horror buff (particularly zombies), love my superheroes, Star Trek, and Doctor Who.
The things I have made to date are:
Jason Voorhees costume (Freddy vs. Jason version)
Jason Voorhees machete prop (real steel blade)
10th Doctor Who (David Tennant) costume
I don't remember how I initially found this place a few years ago, but I rediscovered it when I was researching my two Halloween ideas for this year; Evil Dead Ash, and Mortal Kombat Sub Zero.
I love this place. It frustrates me seeing all this awesome stuff that I'd love to make, but don't have the time, money, space, or equipment to do it, but I love it all the same. I look forward to learning from you all, especially the latex/urethane slingers.
Thanks!
