Props / Body Snatcher Pods
« on: June 27, 2019, 08:02:31 pm »
This is a prop, that was also a costume.
Ten years ago or so my wife and I decided that for our Halloween costumes we did not want to dress up.  Instead we had the idea of going as pod people from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  The idea being we would dress in our regular clothes, and carry around these pods and never acknowledge them.  First two parties we brought them to, nobody got it.  We finally did this for another party a couple years later, and everyone got it!  That group is the only group we ever go to party with on Halloween now.
The pods are quilted fabric "pillows" modeled off the original 1956 movie.  They still are in our living room.

Makeup Effects, Masks and Creatures / Morlock Mask

Hey there,
I figured I would start off this section with a a few photos of a Morlock costume (actually two) that I made a couple years ago.  These were fabricated in a very short time for a Halloween party that had a theme of "Pre 1970 Sci-Fi", so that meant I had to do something from one of my favorite movies. Halloween is also my wife and I's anniversary, so going to this party is tradition.

The mask was sculpted and molded in a weekend and the costumes were dyed t-shirts quilted together with foam padding to fatten us up.  The hands were quickly made out of blue Duck tape.

I took one of the masks and mounted it to a plaque and gave it to Bob Burns on on of my work trips down to Burbank.
