Accidental Second Mask - Mortis

While I was ordering my mask for Halloween (the Dead Lee), the Scream Team accidentally sent me a Mortis mask, which I was willing to return, bu they were kind enough to let me keep it. Great Customer Service, and sealing the fact i'll be shopping with them again!

On that note, looking at their picture, i'll be adding a new element, coloured contact lenses, should add further dramatic effect.


First lenses, they glow in UV light! I bought them from a UK company called YouKnowIt that delivers worldwide for free! They have a vast selection, be sure to check them out.

Jinx - My start on the road of SFX

So my friends and I decided to go to a masquerade ball, called the Labyrinth of Jareth, and having no idea what to expect, I decided to outsource my costume to mainly things I already had and buying a 'halloween mask' from a company called the Scream Team. Looking at their site, they have some incredible stuff, so if I got anywhere near that I would have been happy. I learned about general application, and also then totally ran out of time on the day to apply the colour (plus I later realised that the materials I had were woefully inadequate!) Nonetheless, from knowing absolutely nothing, I think I pulled off a semi-decent attempt. I was going for the whole creepy mannequin waiter, as if possessed or brought to life to serve the purpose of the masters.

We'll see where it goes from here!

Here is the Scream Team mask as presented on the site, followed by my application, the colouring, and some pictures of me at the ball!
