[OT] Halloween 2011

I've always found the tentacles to be a cheesy part of the story anyway, so if you want you could ditch them.

Your height is probably ok, but I would try to find some way of lengthening your arms (not too much, just enough to look unnatural) perhaps with fake hands on short sticks?

Re: a noface look - a sewn up sleeve to a large white t-shirt is pretty good (thick enough to hide your features). Failing that thick white tights.

Then just a black suit/tie.

I'd say you don't need to work so hard on the hands. Look at entry #14. He looks like he has mitten hands or something.

My friend and I are gonna be Masky and our Slender-friend for Wondercon. She's already 6', but we're gonna get drywall stilts just for fun. xD
What we're doing for the mask is probably get a masky-mask base, paint it fleshed colored, and adhere some skin-colored tights to it, which we can wrap around the back and seam down the neck so that it can be one big mask (and relatively seamless).
Either that, or we beat the crap out of an old fencing mask.
Keep in mind I'm the hardcore cosplayer type, so you don't need to go that far. xD

The red tie probably came from Slenderman's similarity to the "mascot" of Anonymous (A faceless man in a black suit with a red tie).

I'd try to raise your height to 6 foot seven.

My friend who introduced me to the series is going to be the Operator for Halloween this year (don't know exactly how he's doing it but... not a huge deal, he's an art student, he'll figure something out).

I get to be.... MASKY! I'm working on it already, well, kinda.

And I've got a hat like Jay's so we're hoping to find someone to follow us around with it and a camera all day and be our Jay.

This year I'm planning on going as Masky. That means I have to let my sideburns grow, buy a good mask. (The same one I've been looking for for the better part of a year) and find a nice brown jacket.

Pics are promised the minute I set it all up.
