Looks amazing. I used to play "Black Bart" in Southwest Territory at Six Flags in Gurnee, Il. Love scaring people for life.

I've got about 3 costumes I'd like to do for Halloween, but I can't decide what I want to do. I've considered wearing one of my costumes I've not worn out yet (Nurse Joker or Bank Heist) so I can save up for another costume or a better Joker suit for next year. I deffintly don't want to go out in the suit before I can upgrade nearly evrything on it.

My wife and I are thing of making "Where the wild things are - Max (For son - she will sew) and the main monster w/ horns (I will sculpt in foam and she will sew rest and add fur) for me!

She is also doing Wizard of Oz cotumes for rest of family!
 
I don't have my Joker completed sufficient to my liking (like my buddy Jodo :cool), so I'll most likely be doing Severus Snape this year....

LOL, I'll never be happy with mine! :p I sold like $740 worth of stuff at a garage sale a few weeks ago to fund my not-so-cheap purple suit, so it should all come together sooner than latter. :D Can't wait to see your Snape costume. :cool

P.S. - I might do the "Police Car Escape" Joker this Halloween. I'd just need to order the tie, gloves, pants, and vest from Magnoli. I don't want to order my coat until I find an excellent orange liner for it. :lol And not to mention I've still got $900 worth of SW stuff to sell. I'm hoping a guy who bought quite a bit of my other stuff will by the rest of it.

If I buy the vest, pants, tie and gloves it's $480. Which leaves me with $260. And another $290 left for the coat's balance. So if I sell the other SW stuff, I'll be care free Joker wise. :love
 
lau: "i told you, i'm good with calculations."
joker1:"no, that's jodo. now go and burn on top of a pile of cash."

sorry, jodo - couldn't resist :)
 
My boys are really getting into zombie movies and games. As such, the oldest wants to be a survivor from Left4Dead and the youngest wants to be a hunter. Both are relatively easy, I will just outfit the one in old tactical gear I have and the other I'll just get a hoodie and some light make up. For myself, I've designed and hope to start building a tank costume from the game. I've worked out how to make over-sized arms with full control and a harness system for the added bulk. I could do the wife up as the witch, but then the baby would need something. I could make her up as a 2 year old witch, but I'm not sure she or the wife would be too thrilled.

And I'm moving, so I'm not sure about what exactly to do. It's important that the boys get their costumes, but mine and the wife's are rather unimportant. And the baby already has a Snow White that I think the wife wants her to wear. We'll see...
 
Probably just recycle my usual Indy outfit. It's always a crowd pleaser. Might get myself a new whip holder this year and/or new jacket. The old one's definitely showing its age (the liner is totally trashed).
 
DUDE Jodo! You are a darn good look-alike for Heath Ledger as Joker! Well done. I have noticed that the one thing that ever Joker costumer over does is the eye blackness. If you see the pic you posted above notice that Heath's eye makeup has a lot of greyish-brown around the edges of the blackness.

Looks great though!

LOL, Joker1....I think EVRYTHING out in terms of money. :lol I went on a small trip with my family and friends. There was like 14 of us. I thought evry single thing out in terms of "what prop/costume could of I bought?". :lol

Jedifyfe, thanks man! :D I know that I over did the black in the one image, the next day I made a "corrected" image in paint. :lol On what should change.

It had been the second time sence last October I had applied it, so I was a bit rusty. I did the interogation look a few weeks later. I had a TON of distractions while applying it, and while talking on the phone I ended up putting the scars on the wrong side. :lol But I think it came out pretty good. :

I'd realy like to try and get the "police car escape" costume done. :lol But my sister would realy like me to do Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka this year so she can go as Veruca Salt. :lol So I'm sorta torn between the two now. I might try out some Willy Wonka make-up applications to see how I look before I put anymore thought into it. :wacko
 
Wow, that looks great Jodo! Can you immitate Ledgers performance? It's all in the eyes and you have the perfect eye brow shape for this! I am truly impressed.

Thanks man! :D I do "all the little....emotions". :lol Personaly, I don't think I sound much like him when I talk, but alot of people have commented on how good I sound. I don't know if it's sort of a coming together of the look, and costume, and actions, and voice that gets people to beleive I sound like him or what. :lol I actualy ended up carrying pictures of me, (the 4 I posted above) actualy on me. Because I'd run into people, start talking about the costumes/the Joker. And then tell people I did that costume and make-up. People would be like "oh, yeah. Hmmm, yeah."

Well, then I started carrying the pictures, and I've never had more people geek out in front of me. They literaly go crazy. :lol I've never been popular per say, but when people find out that me in the pictures I get hugs and handshakes. :lol I've had quite a few people just look at the 2 I posted above, and not beleive it's me. They think it's Heath. :lol

Oh, and right now I'm looking at about $300 for a Wonka costume. So now I'm not for sure if I should do it or not. :lol I'd like to be able to do a make-up application and see what I look like before I put any more thought into anyway. And like the Joker, I'd want it to be a character performace. Anyone can just walk around ya know! :p
 
LOL, thanks guys! :D

Rob, I'm gonna try to go to CVS and Walgreens to see what I can dig up for make-up soon. :lol
