Posted for those who LARP, or costume.

I'm NPCing another game. Because I'm a glutton for punishment. (:
I'm playing a Nosferatu, which means I'm grotesque, and I'm trying to find a way to portray that simply, and without a lot of latex. Right now I'm thinking maybe buying a pair of sheer nylons (the sock-only kind if I can get it) and putting that over my head like a classic bank robber and then maybe trying to hunt down a hoodie that I can pull up over my head. If you've got suggestions, please feel free to weigh in.

I checked at the local costume shop, and they had the rigid collodion for scarring, but not a lot which I thought would be useful. Surprising given that they should be gearing up solid for Hallowe'en at this point.

Where are you located? I could check out my local one here, it's ALWAYS got stuff, and it's about the size of a small market. :)

I'm in Mountain View, and the shop I go to is Debbie Lynn's in Sunnyvale.

Sunnyvale, thats north of LA right? or is that Sunville? I can never remember. yeah It would be a bit far to come down here to our costume shop here in Orange County ^_^ I would try the face peel with oatmeal :) that really was a good idea. :)

Yeah, I'm on my way to WalGreen's now. (:

Have fun! (and let me know how the peel works, Who knows when I might need to seem like flesh is dripping off my skin one night and have baby-soft skin the next ^_^

It didn't work as well as I'd hoped, even when I blended it with the facial scrub. It was less 'grotesque' and more 'odd'.

rofl odd can be... good :)
