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.
