I...Can't...Breathe!!!

[Brimauster]

Hello all! New to the forum here. I am an enthusiastic halloween participant, and take great pleasure in scaring the bejeesus out of people, especially the kids! (not the really little ones tho).
So last year I made a Grim Reaper costume that was the talk of the neighborhood. I got a high quality mask, a cloak from a theater production company, painters stilts and made a scythe from a Birch sapling and a large piece of plastic. It was great!
The only downside was the fact that I had to lift the mask every few minutes to get some air, kind of ruined the effect... So this year I am going to use an oxygen mask with a tube that goes over my shoulder and down my back and exits from under the hood. Hopefully, I'll be able to breathe easier with this set up. Has anyone else had this dilemma? How did you solve it?

Hi I too had the same dilemma, I just made several small holes where my nose was & that helped a lot. I think it depends on the mask. Sorry I couldn't help more. Witchy

im sorta clostraphobic.... and one year i was Scream (with the tight mask),,,, the clostropobia doesnt bother me as much when i can see outside or doors(aka when ever it isn't black),, but the mask still made me feel hot, and i couldn't breath very well... i lasted with it on for the most of 10 minutes that halloween

Anyway I would love to be the Reaper one year, but I'm sure my friend would beat me to it He loves the whole Death/Reaper look.
