How did you do this? I gonna be doing something similar to this in my movie, and was wondering how you did it?

I made a "mask" out of window screen, basically just wrapping it around a head-size object and pinning it in place to form a sort of bag.
Then I used pieces of craft wire to carefully wire every individual bug to it!

what do you use to pin it? a paper clip or something alone those lines

I just twisted bits of wire through it, almost like stitches

Cool. sorry for all the questions, but when you say window screen, does that mean like the stuff used for screen doors?

Yeah, or anything similar really. At a store like Home Depot you'll find a selection of screen, I used a very soft and flexible one.

I actually did my own variation on this costume for Halloween last year. I wore an old hoodie and a pair of gloves with loads of plastic cockroaches hot-glued to them, as well as several taped to my face. It wasn't my best, as they kept on falling off, but thankfully they stayed on long enough for me to win a prize at my college's costume contest (I won "Most Gruesome").

So... that's you underneath all those toy bugs and spiders? You sure do have a lot of them.

This makes me very very happy. I very much like the spider at your neck.

Cool costume! I never would've thought of that.
When I first saw the thumbnail I thought you went as a painting by Giuseppe Arcimboldo.

Arcimbaldo was a wonderous painter.

That's the coolest idea I've seen in a while. I'll have to remember it for next year!

THE BUG-MAN COMETH!
Awesomely creepy idea. How well could you see out of that mask?

Did you refer to yourself as 'we' when you went trick or treating?

Did you remember to leave eyeholes when adding bugs? ^^

no I could see fine through all the cracks between them

don't feel bad. Any costume with bugs all over could ALWAYS use more bugs. You seem to have found a really good ballance though. It looks freakin sick

ROFL. I can't think of a costume more appropriate for you.
