Right. I was like this is fate telling me to make this costume. I have no idea how it gets that way on the water but that’s like zero effects or anything. I got it narrowed down to Freddy vs Jason look or Jason X (regular Jason looks badass) or the Remake now. Goodwill store will probably decide what I end up doing. Not about spending an asston of money as I’m gonna be in the water a lot and at the end of the day the only real important parts are the machete, hockey mask, and the makeup job for his face and head. Everything else you can substitute.
Also here are more scenes which help to show that the mask is actually a white base coat with a slight wash of Raw sienna color with burnt umber and burnt sienna mixed and use for the grime.
Also if you do a search for david miller mask they are also the same color, just the grime is painted different each time. Also if you compare the david miller clay picture you have to his blank it looks spot on, i believe it’s just since he makes the chevrons smaller now instead of the same size as the movie it may look a bit different.
Which David miller clay picture? The only one I’ve seen is the one with him making the giant clay mold for the film title screen graphic and not the actual movie mask. In that picture the vent holes on the bottom sweep right, just like his eBay masks; however on the film used mask they do not. Which leads me to believe he just shrunk the title screen mask mold down to the size of an actual head to use for his eBay masks.
Hey I’ve noticed this thread (which is amazing btw) doesn’t include F13 the original… Now I kno Jason doesn’t kill neone in it however has neone here tried to track down the weapons/costume material used by Betsy Palmer? For instance I always thought a Buck 120 was the trademark knife used by Mrs. Voorhees but upon closer inspection it appears to be a bowie knife with a stag handle and brass handguard. Closest I’ve been able to find are vintage German bowies, like the Linder company… but they are not exact matched. Neways I thought this could make for an interesting hunt and I will continue to see if I can figure out the exact brand of knife used.
Amazing thread, thought I’d add some notes; the original sack mask used a shoelace to tie around the neck. It looks like some scenes cut the tips off and some leave them. There’s even one scene where he doesn’t even appear to have a rope around his neck (coming out of the bed). You’ll also notice a slit in front of Jason’s right eye, likely so the actor can see better. Not sure if it’s meant to be visible, but you can see it in the closeups.
I worked in two different shoe/boot factories for a total of five years, and I can say for certain that those “Roughout” boots are not the same as the boots in the screenshot from the movie. The boots in the screenshot have typical Goodyear welt construction (you can clearly see the welt in the picture), which is a welt (plastic welt in this case, which is typical for boots made in the past fifty years or so; older ones had thick leather welts) that is stitched around the bottom edge of the upper. The welt, now attached to the upper, is then stitched to the midsole. Then the outsole is cemented to the midsole under high pressure from a hydraulic or pneumatic press. With Goodyear welt construction the stitches don’t normally come through the outsole, though it’s possible that some do, i.e., if the manufacturer decided to, for whatever reason, stitch completely through the welt, midsole, and outsole, instead of just through the welt and midsole.
On the other hand, those “Roughout” boots don’t have a welt at all. This is a case of ordinary Goodyear stitching, where the bottom edge of the upper is stitched directly to/through both the midsole and the outsole, which is why you can see the stitches around the edge of the bottom of the outsoles. This is a weaker method of construction because the relatively thin leather of the upper isn’t as strong as a thick plastic welt, especially when its been weakened by heavy stitching, plus, as the outsoles wear thin, the stitching on the bottom wears away too. Additionally, those “Roughout” boots were made on lasts with an entirely different shape than the lasts used for the movie boots. Look at the difference in the height and shape of the toe box. Also, the movie boots have a toe cap (internal piece of rigid or semi-rigid material to stiffen the toe box so that it retains its shape) while the “Roughout” boots don’t. Those “Roughout” boots have more of a shoe-shaped last (and shoe-type construction), while the movie boots have a typical work boot / logging boot last shape and construction.
The outsoles appear to be the same but that doesn’t mean anything. Outsoles are normally made by a third party and various shoe/boot manufacturers often use the same ones on a variety of models. For example, just think about how many different makes and models of boots have worn the classic Vibram Carrarmato lug sole over the past ~80 years.
Unfortunately, I don’t. It’s a typical plain-toe work boot, with an outsole designed primarily for indoor work (such as for a factory worker, warehouse worker, mechanic, etc.), and there have been countless makes/models of those produced over the years. Since you know the tread pattern, that’s enough to narrow it down substantially, if not pinpoint it, among possible candidates, i.e., if you find boots with a typical work boot shape (the shape is defined during the manufacturing process by the shape of the last that’s used, similar to how a vacuum formed Jason mask’s shape is defined by the shape of the buck), Goodyear welt construction, and that type of outsole, then that’s a match, or might as well be a match.
… have a welt (albeit, a partial welt, but you can’t tell from the movie screenshot whether those boots have a full welt or not, because his pant leg is covering the area around the top of the heel), the right basic shape, the rivet at the point where the eyestays meet the vamp, and an indoor tread pattern (but not the same indoor tread pattern as the movie boots). The colors match up pretty good too, i.e., brown uppers, tan welt and midsole, brown outsoles.
