They know how to (or get good advice from here on how to) produce the effects they want for their costumes, props, decorations, etc.
That means using whatever it takes to get the job done, even a trip to the costume store. You do it to get your makeup, right? Why not a wig or costume accessory that you can alter to fit your handmade stuff? I have no doubt that you could've made a wig and Freddy glove, but would it really have been worth the trouble? Looking at the photos of your successful costumes, freud, I'd guess not.

Forgive CeeDub, freud...he never gets to cut loose like this on the HobbyTalk forums. To his credit, though, he can swim like the Creature from the Black Lagoon on steroids.

i loved the carrie movie. as i said before i really like your costume, but after reading z's more blood comment and thinking about it, i agree, some more blood.
now, i don't mean to complain but it was bad enough when i couldn't see your freddie costume but after reading all the comments above, i would really like to see it. i don't know why but all i'm getting is a small white box with an red x in it. could you maybe just post it again but alone? maybe i can see it then. thanks

I think I said earlier, but I may have missed out, I would like to have used more blood, but didnt have the time or patience to go and find the same stuff again. Practically every set of 'fake blood' I could find didn't look right, and I found so many contradicting guides on the internet of how to make some realistic looking, I gave up hope.
Yeah sure, no prob posting the pic again. I've posted a link rather than the pic, so it should take you to the pic on my Photobucket. I've posted another from the same night too!
you're right, you did mention about the blood. i just spaced it by the time i read all the later posts. thanks for posting the picture again. now i see all the fuss and all i can say is wow, that is an awesome costume. you know, that top could double for a pirate top. i like the picture of all you guys together but the second girl in looks to sweet, can't she snarl or something! lol no, all you guys are adorable. i like the scarey look of freddy, use him sometimes in my haunt, but i don't like the movies. love the carrie movie though. nice pics
