Ecrofirt said:Anyone know of any good places with guides to looking like a zombie?
I've been looknig through google, and haven't come up with much that's worthwhile.
Ecrofirt said:nice ideas.
I'm also looking into maybe having some intestines spilling out or something. Any ideas there?
I'd imagine I can use those baloons that people make into animals somehow.
evil ways said:You can take about a pair or 2 of long, white tube socks, fill it with something like paper or cardboard balls in order to give it a bit of volume and weight, then twist the socks a bit to give it a sausage link like look. Take the socks dip them on dark red dye(hair dye could work well) or a dark red blood liquid, until they look like guts or body parts.
Wear a white shirt and cut a whole where your belly is(be sure to stain that area of the shirt with blood too) and let the socks hang out.

Felidae_Khrall said:Or, go down the supermarket and get one of those bulk packs of sausages for like 3-5 bucks the kind that are all linked together.

SIMPLE OLD AGE MAKE-UP
Apply base make-up all over face and neck. "Scrunch" up your face first to emphasize your "natural" wrinkles, and apply make-up that is lighter than your natural skin-tone (work on a small area at a time for best results). Then "de-scrunch" and fill in the creases using a soft brown eye-liner pencil. Create sunken cheeks by darkening the cheek hollows. Emphasize the creases around your nose, and darken along your jaw line. Create crows feet by your eyes. Pucker up your lips to create wrinkles around your mouth. Add liver spots, broken capillaries, etc. Blend everything with a make-up sponge. If you use make-up with a small amount of yellow added, you'll get a more realistic look. Use the same techniques on your hands for more realism. When you are all done, powder all over with baby powder to set make-up and give a dry skin appearance. You can also use baby powder to make your hair look gray.

HOW TO MAKE FAKE BLOOD
Take some light corn syrup and add a lot of red food coloring until it looks about right. Then add blue food coloring a drop or two at a time to make the color closer to real blood (a little green might help too). If you mix in some peanut butter, the blood will be less likely to stain.

IF YOU WANT SCARS
It's possible to make homemade scar "stuff," but it's much easier to purchase a Halloween scar kit from your local store - they only cost a few bucks and they work fine. Be creative to make the scars look as ugly as possible. Throw in some dry oatmeal to add a gross texture. Be sure to mix in lots of fake blood. To make burn scars add something black (burn a piece of cork, or use wadded up pieces of a wet magazine page).

HOW TO MAKE FAKE INTESTINES
Take a pair of pantyhose and cut off both legs. Use a sewing machine or glue gun to make a seam all the way up the middle of each leg (don't make the seam very even). Cut off unneeded halves and turn the others inside out. Fill with cotton or cut up cotton cloth. Twist at random places and make a few stitches to make them look more realistic. Soak in fake blood and let them hang from torn shirt or zombie costume!

CREATE A GRUESOME BOIL
Get a band-aid about the size of the boil you want. Then, dip some tissue (toilet paper works best) into a mixture of PVA glue and water, and form it onto the band-aid. Make a groove by pushing a pencil about halfway into the tissue. Wait for it to dry and cut around the hardened glue and tissue. Peel the backing of the band-aid off and place it in the desired location. Use makeup to blend it onto your skin.

FnordChan said:I recently attended a revival showing of Zombie and, sweet Jesus, did it ever kick ass. One of the guys organizing the event told a great anecdote about a theatre in Charlotte, NC that spent an entire summer showing the same three films when they were released: The Empire Strikes Back, Nine to Five, and Zombie. Why bother with other flicks when people kept going to see those?
Freakin' awesome.
