Plus most of these ideas are based on things I already own/easy to find. I'd love to be Chell or Sam Carter or even Eowyn but I don't have the time/money to make those costumes and I don't want a half-assed costume. I'd rather focus on somethig simpler that I can do really well. > > I understand now.

And I bet there are going to be soooooooooo many half-assed Doctors. If you do the Doctor you gotta go all out. There are going to be a lot of Doctors no matter what. I could probably pull off a decent 4 but again I don't want have a lot of time or resources for getting the costume together. Anyway, I did a makeup test last night for Jeff the Killer and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, though I may change a few things next time. I definitely won't do this two days in a row, it took me almost three hours but then it was only my first try. ![enter image description here](https://41.media.tumblr.com/5b203b34ddb1929f6e5029d254f7a281/tumblr_nin1jwq3kL1s2ctbjo1_1280.jpg "enter image title here") All I'm missing are the colored contacts.
