Makeup FX Builds

Ever since I was a kid I've enjoyed making special FX makeup.  This is not a hobby I entertain year-round, but come halloween time I often spend a week or so making custom makeups and foam latex prosthetics.

Last minute halloween costume, disgusting clown:

This was a very quick make, sculpted and cast in a few hours after work, and poured the baked the latex the next day:

Another scary clown, this time with Kim Jong Il, this was the only costume I've ever worn that I experienced real fear from others... everybody would shy away, it was strange:

 

Kim mask, sculpted on my girlfriend's (now wife's) face:

Zombie bride and groom, Halloween came just a couple weeks after my wife and I were married.  This again was a quick build. I sculpted and cast foam latex masks for both of us:

 

Ghoulish George Washington: another Halloween costume, I wore stilts to create an intimidating 7+ foot tall George Washington ghoul

Foam latex mask on a life cast of my face:

Cat Mask:

I have a life cast of my wife's face, this is the basis for the sculpt:
