3. Most Accurate Costume
This category has 3 winners. We’ll show #1 last.
3rd Place – Gina & Rich Martorama as Michael Myers
From the highly successful slasher franchise Halloween, Gina & Rich made a very accurate depiction of Mr. Myers.
They will receive a set of Gremlins Action Figures Series 1 includes Flasher Gremlin, George Gremlin, and Daffy Gremlin.
2nd Place – Brad Miller’s Jason Voorhees
There’s no denying that Jason from Friday The 13th is one of the most popular costumes for Halloween. But Brad’s attention to detail in this costume is sublime. His job was not an easy one, and we admire your commitment.
Brad will receive a complete set of the latest Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy figures, includes Original, Freddy’s Revenge, Dream Warriors, and Dream Master.
Finally, the most accurate costume goes to a couple that is not only horrific, but fun too:
1st Place – Ian Austin as “The Maitlands” from Beetlejuice
Fantastic job by Ian and his partner. Great attention to the detail in some hard-to-work-with foam construction.
They will split the 1st prize, which is the Golden Lancer replica from Gears of War 3!!
Congratulations and Thank You All!!
We’ll begin contacting the winners through Facebook right away. If you know them, let them know how much they rock!
