Hello! I know what you're all thinking. Yes, I am a psychic. You're thinking "Wth Moat, Halloween is like a month away". But I know(yes, because I am psychic)that some of you are the kind that like to do things waaaay before they are needed(curse you and your magical gift. My middle name is Procrastinatah. I officially changed it from Carl). After all, we're all anxious to get free candy! So here is a Halloween costume guide from yours truly to help you out with... ZOMBIES!
Materials: Liquid Latex Green Makeup Fake Blood Black Makeup Dirt Dispensable Clothes Scissors
Moat's Zombie costume is mainly based on makeup(no, I'm not gay, I'm a psychic. What? Stop looking at me like that!), so the costume itself will be fairly easy. The makeup's the real rub.
Instructions for Costume Step 1: Take your Dispensable Clothes. Step 2: Use scissors to cut the Dispensable Clothes jaggedly, or better yet, tear it up if you're strong and the clothes are thin and weak. It really makes it look convincing. Step 3: Rub dirt on the dispensable clothes, so it looks like you just awoke from the grave. =) Ok, now you're done with the costume, set that aside and take out your little makeup box.
Instructions for Makeup Step 1: Rub green makeup all over the skin that will show, so it looks green. Step 2: Rub black makeup around your eyes, so it looks cooler and you look more, well, dead. Step 3: Rub liquid latex everywhere that will show. Be sure that it is a consistent layer. Step 4: Peel some of the liquid latex off in patches, so that it looks like your skin is peeling. You're done with the makeup now!
Put on your zombie clothes, make sure you don't smear the makeup, and take a look at yourself in the mirror. You've transformed into a terrifying zombie!
You need to be more creative. Zombies and vampires and all that are like the preps of halloween costumes. Try one of these...
Dead Lumberjack, complete with chainsaw and missing arm. Hit & Run Victim, don't forget the tire treads! Emo, just did this one for the lulz. The Internet, remember this one's a group project.
0.o. *steps away*. Well, yeah, they're kind of...over-used,but at least I know how to make a good Zombie costume. =)
Vampires and swamp beasts, however...
You're actually promoting vampires after the Twilight fiasco? It almost ruined Bram Stoker's vampire picture as a whole! Not that vampires would drink animal blood, that's awesome, but the whole Romeo/Juliet, beautiful vampires thing. Come on! It's not supposed to be like that! Being a vamp is supposed to be a curse! Vamp genocide on Twilight...down with Meyer. Although I can roll with swamp beasts XP.
Anyway, nice guide! You sure make alot of threads, Moat.
Thank you. Is that a veiled warning, a comment, or a compliment there at the end, Spencifilopidus?

I know, I know, they're way too commonplace. But a Zombie is the only one I actually know how to make a good costume for. I will screw around with my own costume however I want, but I'm not posting costume directions on AG until I know they actually work. And my many failed attempts prompt me to actually test out my costumes whilst trick or treating before posting them, elseways I will be pecked to shreds by people who spent hours following my instructions only to find they led to a lame costume.

Actually, I'm promoting the use of Stoker's classic, beloved and iconic vampire, not the queer vamps of Twilight.

Inorite?
And it was a general statement.
Two years ago, I went as an after-Halloween bargain bin. I found all of the cheap, plastic props I could (including, but not limited to Groucho glasses, The fake arrow-through-the-head prop, an eyepatch, and a giant spider that I attached to my back, among many other things) and just walked around with them on. Somehow, it was considered one of the most clever costumes at the party I went to...
Zombies just aren't my thing. I remember last year, my friend was a mobster, and I was the one that didn't pass initiation. I had a really cool cane, fedora, ripped up/spraypainted white shirt, and all black dress clothes. Was funï½
Nice guide, btw. Maybe my bro won't have to go in an ugly costume and einstein wig :P
