Hi guys! We are slowly lurching back to normalcy post-Canzine. As it happens, it is Halloween this weekend and as usual the costume situation is a little dire (I see a last minute Value Village trip in my future and it’s making me as queasy as the pea-soup vomiting scene in the Exorcist.) That being said, in this age of the Internet it is easier than ever to find amazing DIY costume and makeup tutorials presented by talented creators who know what it’s like putting a last-minute look together on a budget.
For this special edition of Found on the Internet I thought I would share some personal favorites. Good luck.
The Creepy Doll Face
This young lady does a step-by-step surprisingly low-maintenance tutorial on how to turn your face into a terrifying doll’s – complete with giant creepy eyes and a stitched-together mouth.
The Creepy Cheshire Cat

This two-part Cheshire Cat tutorial is amazing. A friend of mine did it last year with great success. Once you have the face, the costume can be as simple or as complex as you choose to make it – you can cut up some striped tights, wear a striped shirt, make your own tail, etc etc.
The Creepy Anime Character
Here’s how to make giant anime eyeballs that truly pop once your eyes are closed. This shit gives me nightmares. Very simple and effective.
DIY Zombie Guts
This article teaches a proven and reliable method of zombie gut-making using stockings and jello.
DIY Headless Bride
Everyone loves the Instructables Halloween section, and each year I look at the website’s Halloween Hall of Fame (sometimes for ideas, but mostly to marvel at the intricacy and cleverness of the costume/makeup ideas.) This headless bride tutorial is a little more labour-intensive than some of the other suggestions I’ve posted, but it’s actually not that difficult to do – this maker put the costume together using lots of duct tape, paper mache and stuff she found around her kitchen. Clever and awesome.
Wow that was strange. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up.
