A DREAM COSPLAY COME TRUE!! I used (keyword USED) to play these games all the time. This cosplay is a dedication to the Silent Hill games that I played with my friends and ran around in the dark afterwards. This game series always scared the crap out of me (and now I have a hard time playing them. So scary!)

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! LOTS OF FREAKING COFFEE!! MY CELLS LIVE OFF OF THAT STUFF! :D

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!! And threw on this song while making it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOe3EKcsoUg

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

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