I remember in a previous year, reader Jaclyn dressed up as Umezz himself. If you decide to dress up, post a comment here and pic-- I'll send a copy of MY SEAT IF YOUR BEHIND to anyone who happens to share a horror manga-related costume, and a copy of EA2 to the best one if a bunch of folks post stuff.
BTW, The best indie comics costume I've ever seen was someone as Scissor Sniper from Kazimir Strzepek's The Mourning Star. I will try to track down a photograph. Does anyone have any favorites they have seen?
I'm all set to be Zorro this halloween (so excited)
ReplyDeleteBUT I did follow that tutorial some time ago just for fun. Well, I TRIED to follow the tutorial... I used eyeliner though because its all I had :/

Not horror manga, but I'm going to a Halloween party in Kyoto as Tomodachi from 20th Century Boys.
ReplyDelete@jaclyn: That's awesome!!! I love that you did the photos
ReplyDelete@johnny: dude, FRIEND is a brilliant costume!
@ryan - I tried to find the other mask he wears (as a kid, on New Year's, etc) so I'd have something to change to if I want more than 30% visibility, but I decided that compromise is for pussies.
ReplyDeleteAlso I couldn't find it anywhere.
I hope this counts! :'D

ReplyDeleteThis is kind of obscure, but I took this Suehiro Maruo image:

Too bad I didn't have a female companion to complete the duo, but I think it turned out pretty well regardless.
