It doesn't have to be Friday the 13th for you to get dressed up like Jason Voorhees. The hockey mask wearing, machete wielding, murder maniac also makes a great (and scary) Halloween costume. Jason costumes for Halloween can be found in some costume stores and online - or you can make your own. For do it yourself tips and costume retailers, check out the links on this page.
Jason Voorhees Costume Tips
Pulling together a terrifying Jason Voorhees costume doesn't have to be difficult. You may be able to use some items you already have in your closet or around the house. Try pairing a pair of (dirty) brown pants with a well worn green jacket. Add a pair of oversized work boots (good for stalking and stomping) and an old burlap sack for your head. Be sure to cut holes in the sack for eyes, mouth and nose, of course. Once you've assembled this getup, you may have to purchase a hockey mask and some fake, plastic "murder" weapons. You may also need to purchase or make your own fake blood.
Make Your Own Jason Voorhees Machete
In this video, Tom with CostumeBot.com shows you step by step how to create your very own machete like the one used by Friday the 13th villain Jason Voorhees. Tom purchased an actual machete and marked out the shape we wanted for his prop. He used a belt sander to "weather" the machete and wear it down so it looks older. You can always download a to-size photo of a machete for your purposes and try to make one out of paper mache. Fake machetes may also be available at many costume shops.
