Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Hi,
My son wants to be Freddy Krueger for Halloween. I found what I thought was the perfect costume, however, when it arrived, it was totally different than the one pictured. I regretfully purchased from lady_in_red_2004 on Ebay. She claimed packaging was just different. When you see the difference in the photos, you'll know how far from the truth that was. Buyers beware!

Anyway, I need some help finding the one that I want (my son wants). I need someone to verify that the actual costume pictured is available and where it can be purchased. Has someone actually purchased and worn this one? Do you have pics? I don't want to make the same mistake twice. I have attached 2 photos. The one that says "Freddy's Costume Kit" is THE CORRECT ONE THAT I WAS TRYING TO BUY. The fake looking one is the other that I recieved instead.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Unfortunately I've never seen the one that you want. The one you got however is the most prevalent costume I've seen. It's at all the Halloween stores. At Halloween USA they did have just the sweater by itself, which was nice, as well as a higher quality glove. The masks left much to be desired though.

I wish I could be of more help but I just haven't ever seen that kit before. I'm sorry you were deceived! It happens to the best of us. The sweater and glove of the one you received don't seem too bad though. I would a.)check any halloween stores around you for another mask, or b.) see if you can find the Freddie makeup kit. If done right the makeup looks 100 times better and will most likely be less expensive than a mask.

When I get a chance tonight I'm going to look around online and see if I can find the one you like. It's gotta be out there somewhere.
