Make Your Own Jason Voorhees Machete
I’ve been meaning to upgrade my Jason Voorhees costume for a while now. I have a pretty cool Vs. hockey mask so I decided to make a Vs. machete. In this video I show you how I went about it. If you’d like to download the image of the prop I used as a guide you can get it HERE.
UPDATE 11-11-11: I’ve recently found a great source for these machetes: True Swords.
Props and Costumes from Jupiter’s Ghost
For the last year or so I’ve been working on a web series called Jupiter’s Ghost so I wanted to share some of the prop and costume shortcuts we used. Most of the props are modified found objects simply because it’s faster than fabricating something from scratch. Hell, they even did that for Star Wars so if it’s good enough for Lucas, it’s good enough for me. Of course, I still prefer Han shooting first so I don’t agree with Lucas on everything.

Have no fear. I’ve got all of the tips and tricks you’ll need to be the best dressed Michael Myers on the block. Here’s a worksuit link to get you started: AutomotiveWorkWear.com
Michael Myers Costume – Part 2 – The Knife
No Myers costume would be complete without his BFK. There still is a bit of a debate surrounding exactly which real world knife was used in the film. My money’s on the big Lamson chef’s knife.
In this tutorial I show you how to make your own Lamson replica that’s safe to carry around. Just remember to drop the knife when commanded to do so by a peace officer or mental health professional.
I’m including the knife template I made HERE. Just be sure to scale it to 100% for printing.
Happy Hallowe’en!
