X-files and Nerd things

So I have decided I am going to call the new fellow in the trollhive Mr. Bubbles. He has an old picture of him wearing a t-shirt with Mr. Bubbles on it, and he is a friendly enough guy.

No pictures of him yet but that's what I'm calling him here now. :)

Been on an X-Files binge for the last week or so up to season 6 now. I love this show. Have I ever explained that before?

When I was about 7 the show came out and I watched it in my room late at night when I was supposed to be in bed, it came on right after tales from the crypt. There was an episode in the first season with glow in the dark bugs and it scared the bejesus out of me. I think my love of horror started around that time. I've never seen all of it so I have been watching it all now.

Also, the last post I made discussed Halloween. Did I mention I've been doing a Halloween trail with friends the past two years with plans to continue it for a long time? Well we are, so I went in my broken doll costume, which I do not have very good pictures of, and then changed to my trail costume while I was there. I also helped with the makeup for some of the main characters in the trail.

My friend did get some awesome photo's of the makeup we did so I will share those with you.

So for your viewing pleasure:

This is me, we did some facial bruising makeup to look like I'd been smacked around during my stay. We did contouring on the other side of my face to make the bruising look swollen. We also added blood over my eye and leaking from my eye and ear. I ended up playing more like I was leashed to the tree and lurched at the groups screaming, either help or run. ^_^

This is me shading Dobby's brain cap. Later we added blood and bandages across the chest as well as paling out his face and making his eyes look bruised and tired.

This is a great picture of the work we did on that brain cap, looks pretty convincing doesn't it? The Man was a scientist in the trail and Dobby the subject he was working on. They were set back off the trail a bit and I was in front like I was supposed to be the next victim.

Last one, this is The Man in his mad scientist costume, we were playing it up for the camera. With him we aged his face mostly with shading in the smile lines and the forehead wrinkles. Then we splattered some blood on him. This is where I was leashed, back behind The Man is a small clearing where he and Dobby were staged.

It was a fun experience. I look forward to continuing to do this every year around Halloween.
