Red Death

Description

"The figure was tall and gaunt, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat. And yet all this might have been endured, if not approved, by the mad revellers around. But the mummer had gone so far as to assume the type of the Red Death. His vesture was dabbled in blood — and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror."

Yay for Hallowe'en! My favorite holiday EVAR! (dances) I get to go scare little kids tonight... :mwahaha:

I am the Red Death from The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe (which you can read here: [link]). I would post a full-body picture, but my sister's retarded and can't use a camera so you can't see any of my dress except the sleeves anyway. It's black and red and dark/Gothic medieval.

I had entirely too much fun with all that fake blood, let me tell you...

Materials used:
medieval dress
$2 gray blanket from Goodwill
X-acto knife
LOTS of fake blood
paintbrush
make-up (white oil paint, black eyeliner, gray/black eyeshadow)

Entirely too much fun...

"And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all."
