Slasher Costumes 4 Kids: Leatherface!

And, in the final chapter of the three part Slasher Costumes 4 Kids series, heeeere's Leatherface! Not sure if I'd call him my favorite character of the bunch, but he definitely has the best costume. If you don't agree he'll come eat you.

How about a Pee Wee costume review? :)

bizzong, I got here. Now, I’m gone like the night.

Wait, I’m back. That mask kicks major ass! Best of the three, sezme. It kinda looks like Leatherface and Don King had a crazy lovechild and then put him on the streets to terrorize the penny/apple givers.

I’d def. buy that chainsaw, cuz ya can’t go no chainsaw when you’re mini-Leatherface. It just wouldn’t be kosher.

I love this site…simply amazing.

That costume is pretty creepy for kids! Mind you, I love it! Let’s hope to see more of those kind of costumes this year.

Matt – just a thought I’ve had for a while now: What is your IQ? I doubt you feel the need to post such a thing to appease me if you even know what it is, but I am thinking of a high number, just so you know I’m not being a jerk.

Has anyone scene the little plush Jason and Freddy dolls (not sure if there’s a Leatherface one) apparently showing up in claw machines across America? They have hard plastic heads and Jason has some nice little bloody -hole detailing on his jumpsuit. I’ve tried to snag them both, but to no avail; I usually have better luck on my bowling alley’s "Toy Soldier."

A new X-E post is the ONLY good thing going on in NY right now…

"Leatherface turns dichotomy to diechotomy with each additional double-negative something-something"

This is simply brilliant, Matt. With Dave Barry taking a leave-of-absence, perhaps you could fill his shoes?

YANKEES! October Choke Artists

2001 – World Series, Diamondbacks

2002 – ALCS, Angels

2003 – World Series, Marlins

2004 – ALCS, the biggest choke in the history of baseball, Red Sox

Da da da da da, I’M LOVIN’ IT! Seriously, I always look forward to October because I know that the NFL and NCAA will be in high gear and that the Yankees will blow another $90 million season!

Anyways, that Leatherface costume is pretty badass. They have some sweet, authentic looking Leatherface masks on EBay that I would like to get if I ever decide to hack and eat. Oh well.

LET’S GO SOX!

I noticed that Matt decided to insult the original guy to play Leatherface. That’s because he’s smart enough to know that if he insulted the new guy, Andrew Bryniarski, he’d be grabbed by his mighty Russian arms and be reduced to a bag of broken bones by the LEVEL 3 FINAL ATOMIC BUSTER SPINNING PILEDRIVER!

According to IMDB, not only is Leatherface Zangief from the Street Fighter movie, but he also played Lobo in that rare student film somebody made a couple years ago, the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special.

That’s quite a resume.

I’d say it’s the creepiest of the three, although the original mutant Jason mask was pretty freaky, too. The hair reminds me of that Michael Jackson video for Liberian Girl where Don King is swapping hair tips with the little kid with the terribly fake afro.

THE RED SOX WON!!!!! ‘NUFF SAID!!!!!

"Dave Barry taking a leave of absence"…do you mean he’s going on vacation or he’s retiring? To take Dave’s place, Matt would have to officially write for the Miami Herald, which might require moving to Florida. I suggest he doesn’t. Four hurricanes in a row? I’m not going near there ever.

Ugh, everywhere I go I get Red Sox drivel. Nobody outside of the Northeast cares!

Astros/Cardinals winner in six.

Anyway, I bow to correctness, Leatherface is indeed the best costume of the bunch.

So where does your nephew go now? Hopefully not the way of your chinchilla.

Semper Fi,

Well that’s cause the yankees and red sox have a thing called a "rivalry." I’m putting this post up after the crappy game, but rest assured yankee and boston fans, steinbrenner’s gonna fork over even more cash to ensure this is the last thing boston has to cheer about

I wish I could remember more about the toy chainsaw my friend had as a kid.

Chestnuts roasted by dfdfgdgf @ 10/21/2004 9:04 AM

hmm, I need to get a costume together, oh and Halloween plans, and possibly a social life…

Chestnuts roasted by spazzamatic @ 10/21/2004 10:01 AM

Matt, the only thing scarier than that Leatherface costume is the Sony Connect ad with the Macy Gray video. Who let that (wo?)man touch "Walk This Way"? *shudder*

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 10/21/2004 10:23 AM

Leatherface definitely has done more to stay scary and not really become a hero icon like Freddy, Jason, or–you forgot one– Hannibal Lector.

By the way, the kid that posed in the costume… kinda creepy. No offense if he’s your cousin, or altar boy, or something.

There are games called "rugby" and "cricket" that lots of countries actually play, and when you win a "World Cup" you have actually played against other countries. It’s not a world Series unless the world is involved, dammit!

SA has won the Rugby World Cup. Against like, 10 other countries. (Rugby does not involve people in pointy boots wearing full armour like nancies. Neither can you pass the ball forwards.)

And cricket… don’t get me started. It’s the closest the English get to bull-baiting, I imagine. D’you know, I think I’ll offend hundreds of people by saying that cricket is 10000 times better than baseball, so I wont. Ahahaha. :P

And for those members of PETA…. PleatherFace!

If we’re not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 10/21/2004 11:52 AM

Just for the record, I am NOT in the Northeast and I care very deeply that the Yankees got their dream-crushing, money-grubbing, Cleveland-beating asses humiliated by the sox. Go Sox!

As for the costume, I love that the apron appears to be an actual attempt to look like human skin. You know, though, kids that have great costumes like this can’t wear ‘em to school anymore. A lot of my students have told me they have two costumes – the "good one" and the crappy politically correct one they have to bring to school. Booooooooooooo, sez I. If you can’t threaten a kindergartener with a plastic chainsaw, then what’s the point of elementary school at all?
