Jack Skellington Costume

"Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall..."

Incorporating both stilts and arm extensions with articulating fingers, this monster of a costume, based on the main character in The Nightmare Before Christmas, was cumbersome, uncomfortable, and difficult to see out of.

But the reactions it received made it all worth it.

The head itself was a combination of modeling clay, nylon, rubber, craft foam, and elastic. The rest of the suit was a modified thrift store find, and a total of three different suits/jackets were stitched together in completing the ensemble.
