Making Your Halloween Costume Really Stand Out.
One problem a lot of people have when creating their scary costume is they try to hard and over do it. The best way to scare someone with a good costume is to get in there minds and make them realize how real it really is. "People aren't really scared at our haunted houses by our high-tech lighting and multi-thousand dollar sound systems," says veteran haunted house builder, Stephen Walker, "it's usually some teenage actor in a tattered robe and a little makeup that gets our biggest scares.
" Stephen Walker, the creator of Denver's 25th Hour haunted house continues, "It's about getting inside the imagination of the individual and making it personal that provides the big payoff scares."
He also describes what things you should have in the cart at your local costume shop or Halloween Store. There are several things that he suggests that you do not purchase such as those cheesy latex masks you see displayed all of the walls. Personally thinks that the best way to scare your visitors are the costumes that are nothing more than a simple wig, some old clothes and a little makeup.
He also adds that in his opinion you should stay away from the expensive costumes and get one's fingers into a little greasepaint. Steve says the problem with most masks is that they limit one's range of vision and make it impossible to express facial features.
He emphasizes that by simply accentuating the natural lines, wrinkles and imperfections that everyone has, a much more convincing and scary creature can be created.
Having flesh and blood living face is much more easy to deliver scares since you are able to give full emotion with facial expressions and looks that a mask cannot. "With just some cotton balls, a little black makeup, fake hair and spirit gum - one can create some really wicked whiskers and harry moles," Stephen laughed. He reluctantly added that some cheap blood would help, but stressed that too much blood can ruin things and turn a good makeup job into a really big mess.
