Silent Hill - Nurse
Silent Hill Dark Nurse
The Nurses are a recurring type of monster and a staple of the Silent Hill series, making appearances of one sort or another in all of the titles. Along with Pyramid Head, they are one of the most well-known and important monsters in the franchise. Dark Nurses, make an appearance in the Silent Hill film towards the ending. These nurses take a similar appearance to the Bubble Head Nurse, appearing in low-cut tops and short skirts, their faces deformed and twisted. In the Silent Hill franchise, monsters are manifested by the town of Silent Hill, which acts as a mirror of an individual's anxieties and fears.
I wanted to make this because Halloween is coming up and I really want to do a few scary costumes. [I also did a Pyramid Head costume]. But, Halloween came and went, and then the Holidays, and con season was over, so I didn't get a chance to wear this until January. I was really into this zombie thing, being a spooky disgusting mess is very appealing to me for some reason. I freaked some kids out really bad by just chilling in a hotel stairway.
Costume consists of: white nurse style dress, big spooky mask, lots of make up. I made the dress myself and I made sure to distress it, there's tea stains, lots of paint, glue, and I burned it a little.
I drafted the little hat myself, because a regular nurse hat would have been too small for the mask, but now that I see it all together it still looks a little small. The mask is a rigidwrap base, which is plaster gauze, with some smeared expandable foam on top. The scabbing on my skin is liquid latex and tissue. Instead of a knife, I distressed a spatula [for practical reasons, I really didn't feel like getting harassed for carrying a rusty prop knife].
Pictures were taken at AnimeLosAngeles 2014, and the James is Rahze. Photos by Paul Stout, Toshiyasu Morita, and others.
Someone tried to give me a "hallway cosplay award".
