This homemade costume for men entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Ralph, the 'Freddy Krueger' costume creator:

Hi there!

This is me wearing my Freddy Krueger costume! Being a tall, lanky guy, I figured "what better character to be than Freddy Krueger?"

For years I've been piecing this costume together, bit by bit. I found a guy that makes replica knifegloves, another one who makes the fedora, and my friend made the silicone mask and left hand.

The sweater was just a Hot Topic Krueger sweater that I weathered, burnt and cut up to fit the look. The pants and boots are both just work clothes that I also weather like the sweater (using a combination of acrylics, fabric paint, fire (lol) and fake blood).

The lenses I've had for quite some time.

Here's a video of me wearing the whole thing:

I hope you enjoy it! I love being Freddy! Sweet Dreams!
