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"

Hood and Picture by CFX

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.

Gloves and Picture by CFX

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

The pants are Brown Dickies Men's Relaxed Fit Straight-Leg Duck Carpenter Jean.

"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.

Pictures of boots provided by Vincente Disanti himself.

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.

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.

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.

Now thanks to IG:

x.hideous_man.x

 and IG:nstaffordstudios we have learned that the boots are Field n Forrest Model 8468 boots in brown leather. 

But since these boots are extremely rare, a good cheaper very similar option would be Redwings model ASTM F 2413-05 brown boots.

Roy Burns Hood

This blog post will be about the Friday The 13th: A New Begining impostor hood. It's not meant to be anything special.

This happens to be the hood in a behind the scenes, being used for Roy's death scene. The colors seem to indicate that they were the same colors used on Jason's hood in the previous 3 films. Which only changed colors due to the white and bluish lighting.

 In this image, we can see the Adams apple of the hood.

The hood also seems to have, the very same deformities as part 4 Jason. Who we know for sure Roy Burns imitated as he had a picture of that same Jason in his wallet after his death scene.

In this next scene, we can clearly see that there was an ax wound present on the hood.

Here we can see what the right ear seems to look like.

Here another picture not only showing that the right ear, but more surfaces of the neck in which the next references will show how the neck area seems to look.

here is the left side view of the neck.

here is a back view of both the head and neck areas.

Roy Burns Hockey Mask

The part 5 hockey masks one of the most unknown masks out there in the Friday The 13th community. Very little is known about the mask even when discussed in forums. Today we will be discussing the mask and a few misconceptions.

Misconceptions: 

1. The Mask is white with grey weathering. (Wrong, it looks white because of the white and bluish lighting in the film. The mask is definitely Ivory with a raw sienna wash.)
2. The Mask is yellow with a greenish color. (Wrong again, look at number one.)
3. The Ghost Chevron is a Part 6 Chevron. (Wrong, it's actually a part 3/4 ghost chevron which is why it's a sharp pointy looking rather than a straight one like the part 6.)
4. The Mask has sanded damages all over. (Wrong, that is just something some artist do for some reason, look at the blog for actual sanding points.)

About The Mask

So far from what we know according to the artist David B Miller who worked on the film. The mask was a recast of the part 4 hero mask (aka the part 3 stunt mask). Miller made mention that he made two molds of the mask, a copy of part 4 and another with the ax wound filled in becoming the part 5 mask.

The DMC Mask

Currently being sold by David Miller Creations aka Elmoscave on eBay. The DMC mask seems to be a production mold mask that was either damaged or was purposely made to have some issues in order to warrant off recasters and the such.

DMC Mask Issues

• The jawline of the mask is bent in more than in the movie, where it's sticking out a little more.
• The bottom left chin hole, is facing to the left instead of closer to the right by the right hole.
• The top strap hole was moved down more for some odd reason.
• The chin seems to need a bit of a trim as it's longer and wider than the movie.
• The nose hole seems to be facing the wrong way as well.
• The straps used by DMC are not movie accurate. 
• The right Chevron is actually a little smaller, sharper and not close to the eyes as it should be.

Notes: The Mask holes are 3/8 in size.

The Colors

The colors of the mask are simple, the mask blank used in the movie seems to be clear with the inside painted a satin blue color, which explains the inside color of the paint chips. (or you can do a blue to light blue color over a black blank.) The second coat on the inside is a flat black color. This was done according to David Miller so that lights wouldn't shine inside the mask blinding the actors. Now for the front of the mask, according to David Miller Ivory (off white) was used as the base color of the mask then a mixture of Burnt Umber and Burnt Sienna for the grime also known as dirt. Then a very thin wash of Raw Sienna for the yellowish tone.

The yellow (Raw Sienna) color has nothing to do with lighting as most people try to speculate. But are the actual colors that are being used and presented here in the images.

The mask should become a white, yellowish cream color if done correctly under the correct white in bluish white lighting.

The Straps

In the movie, there seem to be about 3 straps that seem to change according to the scenes.

Door Breaker Scene

In this scene, the straps are made up of 2, 3/4 elastic spool bands. The first connects to the sides of the mask while the second one connects into a loose loop over the sides by a small rivet up to the top of the mask.

First, we will talk about the side straps, they seem to be folded almost exactly like the straps on the part 3/4 mask.



All while the top strap seems to be folded a little longer while the river seems to set a little above the center of the strap.

You can clearly see with these pictures presented above that, there are no signs of any side strap adjuster. Which makes me believe it's a one-piece.

VS Tractor Scene

After getting up from being knocked down by Regie and the tractor, Roy's straps change; But we will come back to that after this.

As the straps changed, the back either broke and they tied it up, or they had different styled adjusters. This was just something worth noting.

Barn Scene

During the time Roy gets up from the tractor you can see that the straps change. The changes aren't noticeable at first, but the straps are switched from a 3/4 to 1-inch straps. The top still being elastic, while the sides are actually a material known as nylon with stripes two stripes following to each end.

The side stripes are actually no longer one piece, but two with a strap adjuster on the left side.

The Rivets

The rivets colors aren't specified but from what DMC uses and you can see on screen they do seem to be a golden color, they just seem to be weathered. The size of the rivets is 10mm Head, 8mm Post

Chevrons

Door Breaker Scene

The Chevrons are Satin Blue in color, and first, appear to be undamaged at first. The left one is farther from the left eye, while the right one is closer to the eye. 

Vs Tractor - Barn Scene

This the scene were the chevron actually becomes and looks damaged. They remain placed in the same spots and area as seen in the picture.

Mask Weathering

I will explain in detail the damages and weathering of the mask. I will start by making the point that there seems to be a nose scuff on the mask even in the "Door Breaker Scene." which seems to go along into the whole film even towards the end.

Door Breaker - Barn Scene Grime/Dirt References

These few images are examples of where the grime has been located for the most part.

Notes:

• The ghost chevron on the mask is actually a part 3/4 and not a part 6 chevron as many people tend to place on it. 
• The images under this minor header have been modified to show you where the grime seems to be placed.

Ambulance Scene

From the looks of it, the ambulance scene seems to have been shot right after the final hospital scene as you can clearly see the many similarities shown in the picture. You can clearly see the top chip damage by the top strap, the sanded damage on the eyes, the scuff on the nose and the chin damage. If you keep looking you will also notice that the grime is different, almost like the one in the hospital end scene.

Vs Tractor Scene

Here you can clearly see that from the scene a couple things change. The first seems to be the right chevron suddenly being damaged, and the second being nose scuff can be clearly seen. There also seems to be a new grime/dirt on the top left side of the temple vent holes that wasn't there before. A final look would also show that there is no chin damage on the mask in this very scene.

Barn scene

In the barn scene, we can see that the nose damage is more pronounced than in any other scene. If you look closer you can see a bit of that sanded damage on the left eye and some paint chipping on the top of the mask by the top strap. There also seems to be no sign of chin damage till later on in the barn-scene.

Hospital Scene

In the final hospital scene where Tommy puts on the mask to kill pam, you notice a couple of things. You can clearly see that the eyes themselves have sanded scuffing, allowing you to see some of that Ivory base coat on the mask. The other thing is that the chin damage seems to be there as well and seems totally different than the chin damage on the ambulance scene. This leaves me to believe that multiple masks were used instead of one like some seem to believe. The nose scuff seems to have worsened to the point where you can start to see a lot of blue, which tells us the blank used for the mask was clear.

Then the final thing you will notice is that the weathering seems to have also changed making the mask look even dirtier than it was.

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.
