Regan (The Exorcist)

This costume really turned heads! My take on an oldie-but-goodie horror icon from the classic film, The Exorcist. The pajama gown (which I wore BOTH frontwards and backwards throughout the night to simulate my head spinning around) was bought at a local department store. The front was stained with green food coloring, glue and some dry oatmeal for texture. The wig was gelled to simulate greasy and knotted hair. Each of the “wounds” was hand made by me using some liquid rubber latex, some tin foil and a little grease paint. A little make-up and a pair of “Angelic Yellow” contact lenses and I was good to go!
