my girlfriend and i went to ubercon, a gaming convention in new jersey, usa. we dressed up as shaun and liz for the costume contest. we got 2nd place! the 1st place winner handmade her entire costume

You've got red on you

-m0r

I'm guessing that you are at the Sheraton Meadowlands, aren't you?

Did you actually bleach your hair for it? Dedicated!

Wow I didn't notice that at a first glance. Good going!

Is the red in your eyes the evil trying to escape?? no of course not You look good but no cricket bat?

heh nice job

Awesome job! You two look like their anlternate-universe clones! Glad you won 2nd place atleast!

Great job guys, glad you got 2nd place!

i did bleach my hair for it. the judges were impressed by that. it was ubercon vi at the meadowlands sheraton. thanks everyone for your comments

Heres my attempt at Shaun(I know, with my size I should be Ed) My nametag isnt the greatest but since then I have gotten a much better and acurate one.

lots of blood there - good work! you look quite menacing too.

the hardest part of the shaun costume is the tie, imo. the one i'm wearing is from the hotel's gift shop which i had to buy since i left my other one at home and didnt want to drive 2 hours round trip to get it

where did you get the cricket bat, freege? your costume looks great

Hey, new to the board... Just thought I'd post my attempt at a shaun costume... Fancy dress party for one of my friends and i was going as a zombie but decided for something a little more worthy?

I cycled round my hometown for hours to fund a cricket bat!



It's good to know im not the only one!

Well, Halloween is just round the corner - guess this is the perfect Shaun costume tips topic!

I do love seeing other Shaun costumes! There seem to be more and more popping up everyday!

I agree that the tie seems to be the hardest piece to come by. I found mine by accident at a Wal-Mart. The brand of the tie is George and it looks to me like the closest thing I'm gonna get to the actual tie.

I almost dyed my hair for the costume, but I chickened out at the last minute. I'm impressed at your willingness to go that extra mile!

Here's a couple shots of my Shaun:

Trying to blend in...


It's not working.

That group photo is excellent! Love the expression!

That's a shovel of a cricket bat you have there sir!

Yeah, I made it out of a 2'X6'. I was trying to replicate the look on the movie poster. The bat on it looks huge!

Those zombies were very cool. Great fun to hang out with when I wasn't running scared from them.

Hi

Im planning on trying to go dressed as Shaun to a Halloween party shortly.

Does anyone have any tips on the best ways to make a replica Foree Electric badge?
Do key cutting places make badges like that, or did I dream it?

I have a plain red tie which will do, although if anyone has spotted a more accurate one which would be easy to get in the UK in the next week I'd be happy to hear about it.

Ohblee that costume is awesome, I saw those pics after dragon con and have been looking for the person that did it just to applaud their efforts. Besides that to answer some questions,
I got my cricket bat off ebay all i did to it was removed the designs on it, varnished it, changed the handle color and added a mix of corn syrup and food coloring for the blood.
djg123- I just bought a Shaun nametag off a guy on the replica prop forum his name is Great_Bizzaro if u want to look him up.
Oh and thatnks for the compliments by the way

Thanks, Freege! I appreciate it. Man is it a fun costume to run around in. There sure were a lot of undead at Dragon*Con this year. It's a good thing there were 4 Shauns running around.
Here's another shot with an alternate form of defense:

Yes, that's the Batman soundtrack.


And for anybody looking for a Shaun tag, I got this from the Shaun website:

http://ohblee.com/postpics/Shauntag2.pdf

I just printed it out on photo paper, double-sided taped it to a plastic backing and put a pin on it. Works great and if I lose it I can always make another. I've gone through a few.

Great Shaun costumes everybody! Keep 'em coming. Great Liz, too!

Now we need some Ed's!!

Superb looks! So real it's fanbloodytastic, you people have done a bang up job. Of course I would say; A+!

Ive gotta say bloody ace costumes everyone *applauds*, good work

Okay, so Halloween's been over for a week now. Still, better late than never right?

Shaun and Ed

Christ, that's accurate.

Awesome, nice job

Wow! Nice work! You've definitely got that "Shaun" look! One of the best Shaun's I've seen! And you've got Ed! Terrific!

There's a slice of fried gold for ya!

"Player 2 has entered the game. Player 2 has left the game"

*Applauds"

That's brilliant! Good work!

John of the Dead, that is uncanny. Good work sir!

Apologies for hijacking the thread but this is sort of related. Me, my girlfriend and two more friends went to a party as zombies, there's pictures and a video at the following thread:

Good job with the gore effects, Stix. It's all truth about what they say: girls 'are' hot in zombie makeup!

Anyways, thanx for the compliments guys. We were still pretty upset about not being able to find Ed's ringtone from the movie to complete the whole ensemble, but maybe next year. It'll be everyone next year: Shaun, Ed, Liz, Mum, etc. Gonna be fun.

Awesome!

Make-up? What make-up? She looks like that first thing every morning!
(I hope she doesn't read this...)

You all look awesome!!

Loving the video, Stix

xxxx

thank you

I'm bumping this since there is a Shaun Badge thingy on one of the posts in this thread.

I didn't create this name tag, and I can't remember where I got it from. Somewhere off the internet.

But, whoever did make it ...erm... well done! Or something!
