Halloween

[HorrorElementFilms]

When I was a kid I was into Freddy Kruger and wanted to make my own Freddy mask for Halloween. I decided the best way to do it would be to simply layer strips of bacon over my face, perhaps holding them in place with elastic bands. I asked my mum for permission to use all of the bacon for my sweet project. She said no, which is understandable, but the reason she gave still makes me wonder if she was right. She said that although it would be unhygienic and smelly to have bacon on my face all night, the main concern was that I'd probably be mobbed by dogs who'd want to chew my face off. I was willing to take the risk, but it wasn't to be.

I made a Terminator mask instead, with the aim of looking like this. I got a piece of cardboard roughly the size of half of my face, drew around a penny and cut it out for the eye-hole, covered it in tinfoil to make it look metal, then I used the red part from a pair of 3D glasses behind the eye-hole to make it look like the Terminator's robot eye. I attached to it my head with an elastic band. It was shit.

This.
