HELLRAISER inspired costume, full body suit

πŸ«€ Explorer in the further regions of experience πŸ«€


Hi my name is Kerstin, I'm a horror and sfx enthusiast from Austria. This is my Hellraiser inspired costume for this year's Halloween πŸŽƒΒ 
We could snap some awesome pictures in a local church, which held their "Night of 1000 candles" celebration and didn't kick me out 🫢🏻 I asked at the entrance if it's ok tho, and people inside were either curious and appreciative, or appeared not to be bothered. 

I sculpted the mask on a lifecast of myself, made a fibreglass mould and cast it using Ecoflex 20, reinforced with a power mesh hood. I airbrushed and hand painted it using Silc pig pigments. The suit I made using a morph suit as base, on which I layered threads and cotton with Ecoflex. It is quite heavy, 7 kilos of costume. And while it is a fight to get my arms and legs in (baby powder in the suit, conditioner as lube for the mask ), I am ready to rumble in about 20 minutes, contact lenses included. I love horror movies, I love creating stuff, and I'm genuinely happy when I can wear my costumes once a year. Happy belated Halloween everyone!Β
