A DREAM COSPLAY COME TRUE!! I used (keyword USED) to play these games all the time. And scared myself too! Inspired by Silent Hill 2.

Cosplay took me a total of four days to make. That's it. I wanted to look like I had been dead for a quite some time. I wanted my blood to look necrotic (blackish) not fresh (red). So to get that effect I used one medium: COFFEE! I drank that stuff while making this cosplay!

Clothes: Dress, Shoes, Tights, & Hat Material all bought from Value Village. (Seemed appropriate because I was going to destroy them!)

To stain them I let them soak in instant coffee. Then I would sprinkle large amount of coffee and lightly spray it with water and this lets the coffee melt and make dead-looking blood.

Vein Legs: Coffee stained white tights. Then I wore them while painting random "veins" with black enamel paint.

Mask: Rigid Wrap (Plaster of Paris), Gauze Strips, Toilet Paper, Liquid Latex, Panty Hose, and COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE!

I stared with putting a plastic bag over my head. I cut out holes for the mouth and eyes so I wouldn't suffocate! Then I started wrapping my head in strips of Rigid Wrap. Let it dry. Then took it off. Covered it with liquid latex and toilet paper. Then dipped the gauze strips into liquid latex and covered the mast in bandages.

Then I went bananas with coffee!!

Makeup: Instant Coffee! Yup. I made a thick pasty blob of that stuff and smeared it all over my arms, legs, and upper torso. Then I painted more black veins.

You could smell me coming a mile away! And its REALLY easy to wash off!

I wore this to Victoria's Zombie Walk. I wasn't expecting THAT much attention!

I also won a Gold Tsukino-Con Pass for Best Cosplay at Tsukinoweeen (Tsukino-Con's Halloween Event).
