Sam from Trick R Treat

[shadowbat69]

My son wants to do this for this year, and I totally ig the little guy, so I said sure. Budget is very limited this year for costumes so we're doing the best with what we can get.


I was able to grab the deluxe licensed mask w/sack off ebay for 20 bucks shipped. Now, for those who dont know what the licensed sack looks like, it is a very dark brown. Almost black. White seams, buttons in the wrong spot, and a white cord! With a little know how though, it can look decent. Same goes for the actual Sam mask. This is what I was able to do with it:
BEFORE:

AFTER:

Today I finished up the sucker prop.

Need to do the gloves next, then have the footed pajamas sewn up.

you need some big twine Zig Zag stitching on the sack to make a smile like look

but that mask is really cool
i didnt know they made Sam Masks

Very cool, I have everything I need to make this costume for my own son, just have to get cracking on it since it needs to be done in 6 weeks!!

Plus I passed on the offical mask and decided I will make the burlap mask myself.

Can't wait to see how your son's costume turns out!

I may even do a more prminent stitch up the center as well.

yeah, there are actually 2 different licensed Sam masks, this one and one that is without the sack. I think that one is even less accurate.

hmm yeah

and i say you go with the stitch up the middle

just completes the look you know

I already check your thread out! It turned out great. very well done. If time, and money, permits, I want to upgrade the burlap sack and do pretty much what you have done.

Don't worry about money .. it costs me about 4$ .. time on the other hand ...

Good start man, I started making one back in October of 2009. I went to a lot of thrift stores looking for the footie costumes with the same material but had no luck, also I had no idea how to even go about making the hands, so it never got finished. I'll figure something out though.
