For years, Jared has wanted to go as Ash from Evil Dead for Halloween. For various reasons, he's always ended up going as something else. This year he missed the Halloween party, so even though he managed to get it together, nobody saw it. But last night we took pictures of him in it, and I think it came out pretty well.
He covered some thrift stores clothes with fake blood, and he built the chainsaw himself. He used an empty washing machine detergent bottle for the housing, cut out the neck, and painted it red. He put grip tape on the handle, a black cap on to for the gas cap, and cut and painted the rippled bottom out of a Gatorade bottle for the vent. The blade is made of boffer foam, attached with two wire hanger insides of it, affixed in the housing with expoxy and poking out to skewer the foam. The boomstick was kindly lent to him by
lightgamer.
I think it turned out pretty well.
