Make-up tips for the fashion conscious zombie.

Yes, you do have to dress like a zombie. Those who do not do so are welcome, but risk having their brains eaten by confused zombies. You have to admit - they're not all that smart, but they know a good living brain when they smell it.

Potentially useful things to keep in mind:

Causes of zombie-ness:
As everyone knows - or should know - zombies are usually attributable to one or more of the following:

  1. voodoo
  2. science gone astray - chemical or biological accidents, experiments, viruses and the like
  3. the apocalypse

Of course, there are many more possibilties. Be creative. Corpses in all stages of decay are encouraged.

For the low-budget zombie:

  1. Oatmeal and liquid latex works wonders.
  2. Food colouring and corn syrup makes convincing blood, but sticky. However, also tasty.
  3. Bloody entrails can be easily made by stuffing pantyhose with old sweatsocks, then soaking the whole thing in a bowl of fake blood.
  4. Value Village - but I'm sure it's hardly necessary to mention that. I've heard that burying your clothes in the backyard for a week or two can help them look (and smell) extra zombie filthy.
