Coolst Ring Costume 3

The Ring Costume
My Ring costume was the evil girl out of the Japanese film ‘The Ring’ (also the USA remake of the same name).
I wanted to come across, as the scariest person at the party, so I thought this would be a good choice. I made the costume out of an old box (which in fact was a TV box) and painted it black and added detail, such as tuning knobs, antenae and the evil videotape.
The box went over my body making me look like a was creepily coming out of the TV. This worked best when I was lying down. I also purchased a wig which I wore backwards and used make-up to add for the final touches to my face to look haunting and scary.
Was a bit tricky as the party was at a flat with the smallest corridor in the world. Got stuck every time I needed to go pee. (Which again was tricky.)
In accordance with the rules of the film, anyone who saw me later received a phone call and died. A shame but worth it.
