Official Myers Copycat Costume

This is the official guide to the Copycat Killer known as Corey Cuningham. Today I will help you get all of the movie brand Items if they are even still around. This costume is rather expensive to put together so you have been warned.

The Mask

First, we will go with the mask, the mask is a Trick or Treat studios Halloween ends mask. The mask was taken from Myers by Corey himself who wrestled the Shape stealing his mask.



The Coveralls

Next are the coveralls, the coveralls are heavily modified Levi Stay Loose Denim Coveralls with a bleached blue wash. The right pocket and pocket flap were removed, as well as replacing all of the buttons with the exception of the collar button with a 22-23 inch heavy jacket zipper. Next, the coveralls were weathered, with Black Rit Dye and a mix of water before being fed through an airbrush all over the coveralls as seen on the screenshots.

Note: The coveralls were not dipped in the dye, the whitish, blue color mixed with black through the airbrush creates a sort of "Charcoal Grey" sort of color which makes the costume seem similar to Myers.

The left pocket is moved down a bit, so it should be about 4 inches up from the top waist seam.




The buttons on the wrist, waist side, and collar were replaced with "17mm Antique Brass Star Jean Buttons". They are misted/painted black in color.









The arm seams going to the shoulder are originally double-seamed, but are later modified to be inward and then a single stitch seam.

End Scene Coveralls

Near the end, Corey is shot by Laurie twice on his left shoulder. Leaving two bullet wounds without exit wounds on the back.
 



The Undershirt

The Undershirt is an Indigo Ralph Lauren Pocket T-shirt





The Boots

The boots are rather unique and possibly the most expensive part of the costume. The boots are a pair of Redwing 1907 copper heritage brown boots. 


The Knife

The knife used by Corey while in costume is a Japanese Ekco Eterna 10" Chef Knife.

Official Ghost Jason Costume Guide

By now you guys must be wondering "how can I get the closest to movie accurate "Never Hike Alone Ghost Jason costume?" Well, rest assured that I am very much here to help you guys and gals out. 

First of all, let us start with the hock.

The Ghost Hock

For the mask, if you cannot get your hands on a movie mold campaign backer mask, I highly recommend Horrorfxdesigns. He has the most accurate blank and/or painted version on the market to date in my opinion. They sell both blanks and painted versions.

The Hood and Gloves

There are only two ways to get the hood and gloves. 

The first method is by contacting CFX and purchasing the silicone hood and gloves. The hood will be a Dark Grey/NHA silicone "Deformed Hood"

and for the gloves depending on the movie look, NHA is "Crusty the Zombie Silicone Gloves" you have to ask CFX to make "Dark Grey/NHA" colors and textures.

and Never Hike In The Snow is "Zombie Silicone Gloves" Which you would also have to ask CFX to make the same color as the "Dark Grey/NHA" hood.

The other way to find Gloves and a Hood is by contacting either anewkindoffearcustoms or HorrorCostume for their latex versions. For the gloves, you would have to purchase the GOT White Walker latex gloves and anewkindoffearcustoms paint them, buy some from HorrorCostume or paint them yourself.

The Undershirt

The undershirt can be purchased on Amazon. It is a Gildan Olive Drab T-shirt

The Overshirt

The overshirt can be purchased on Amazon. It is a Waffle Grey Thermal shirt.
"The weathering on the undershirts are very different as well. Snow has much more pink blood on the front of the waffle thermal grey undershirt. A regular thermal only has perpendicular raised lines in the fabric. A waffle thermal they're crisscrossed like a waffle. it makes a big difference in the look" - HorrorFxDesigns

The Jacket

The Jacket used in Never Hike Alone was an Olive Surplus M65 Field Jacket. You literally have to strip the jacket from the zipper to the big buttons down to the inner hood and even the inner green layered inside fabric. 


In Never Hike In The Snow, however, is a discontinued Old Navy military-style jacket.

The Pants and Belt



"On the Duck pants - I remove the hammer loop and lower side pockets with a razor blade. have to be careful." - Vincente Disanti

As for the belt well, in Never Hike In The Snow, you can clearly see that Ghost Jason is wearing a brown leather belt. 



The boots

The Never Hike Alone boots seem to be a pair of Vtg 70's Post-Vietnam Black Leather Combat Soft Toe Punk Chopper Boots Men's which seem to be discontinued.


Compared to the screenshot these are the closest thing to them it seems or exactly the very same boots.

boots as seen in Never Hike Alone.

The boots snow boots are Black US Military Vietnam Era Paratrooper Boots but these models also to be discontinued and very rare the closest would be Genuine US Military Vietnam Era All Leather Combat Boots.

The undervest

The undervest is a black "paintball vest", this information was given to us by Vincente Disanti himself. He states that these were also good for the stunts they did and helps Jason get the shoulders from the film.




Weapons

Roy Burns Boots

Not very much is known about the boots, but I will try to help as best as I can. 

The Boots


So the boots are a very tough one. If you look at this scene you can see that the boots seem to have ankle padding. 



Then if you watch the barn scene where Roy is about to fall to his death, you can clearly see that it goes higher and it has no padding. We have reasons to believe either one is a stunt boot or that John Hock and Tom Morga used different boots for their scenes.


If you look at the evidence presented within the screenshots you can see that it matches up pretty well to that of the movie boots.


The Colors


The colors are strange as well, at first the boots seem to look black but in other scenes seems to be a dark brown color. Dark Brown tends to give a black colored look similar to the movie screenshots, when in the dark. But with the use of Photoshop, we can clearly see they are black.



Further evidence demonstrates that Tom Morga, himself actually wears similar dark brown boots to cons. Which further cements the confusion towards the boot colors. Sadly we have no way of contacting mister Morga to verify what the boot brands are.

So by doing the research and demonstrating with these that the closest to the movie-accurate boots would be The Men's VTG Red Wing 4473 Combat Military Tall Black Leather Boots Made In USA.

If you guys have anything else to add to this, please don't be afraid to comment and provide screenshots and such in case I missed anything. You can also post questions if you guys have any.
