Note: website in video no longer active! :) This award winning costume was featured at the 2007 Comic Con Masquerade. This is a cheesy interpretation of the original movie scene...

Hi all -- just so you know -- the website is no longer valid :)

Did you put Jack Skellington's head on top like it is supposed to be?

[chewonadog]

Hi - thanks for your comment. Alas, when building the costume, I could not find a Skellington head that was the right size, so there is a regular skull up top. The creatures around the carousel are not right either. That's something for the future... to sculpt and cast all the details so they are correct -- Cheers!

Hey all -- thanks again for the kind words! To answer a couple of questions on here -- the entire costume was handmade and painted, no 'purchased' items other than the crazy amount of materials. The hammers are sturdy white foam frames wrapped with paper, lightweight but big. The arms are aluminum poles with fabric sleeves. The headpiece is foamcore, paper, glue, tape and paint. The whole thing took more hours to build than I can remember -- Cheers!

Thanks y'all - I'm glad you enjoyed the comic con masquerade (BTW-lots of cool people, costumes and staff!) and this home-made video. We were shooting still photos of the costume and I figured why not make a little tribute to the original scene? Cheers!

That has to be one of the best costumes I've ever seen.

When it gets to 0:33 its like a rap music video from the mid to late 90's. That is the coolest thing i ever saw.

We are doing a stop motion animation film called Tim. The movie is a stop motion animation film that is dedicated to Tim Burton and has Sir Christopher Lee as the narrator. Search the directors name Brian Joseph Ochab to find the video.
