I made this Alien egg costume pacifically for Dragon Con. I've been hearing stories about Dragon Con for years. How it's such a great party con and that everyone brings there A game costumes.
I wanted to do something classic and different and still be able to move around and drink.
I have told some close friends about it making it and they said this costume is perfect for Dragon Con.
Sorry this wasn't a tutorial video. It's more of a behind the secnes.

In May of 1979 I drove two and a half hours one way so I could watch Alien in 70 mm with Dolby stereo sound. It did not disappoint. The theater was less than half full (the movie was new and word had not spread yet) I sat towards the back and I will never forget watching all the people in front of me jump up when the face-hugger jumped out of the egg and got John Hurt. I was an avid reader of Starlog and knew what was coming. Still it was cool to see the audience reaction.

@EvilTedSmith 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, I had the same memories of that. I bought the comic book of the movie before i saw it and still scared the carp out of me.

I just realized that your wearing Alien clothes. Brett's hat and jacket. Did you make them too, or is that an original Thinking Cap co. cap. I ordered mine from an ad in Starlog. I wore it so much I practically wore it out. I used to wear it to bars and people would ask me if I was on a ship. Almost no one knew what it meant.

Hey Ted! Long time fan/subscriber. Have watched so many of your videos! I’m sure you get requests often but I was wondering if you would be interested in ideas to make like some kind of movie or cartoon prop like your alien egg but something a person could make and use as a display item. Random examples would be like the demon chest from the 13 ghosts of scooby doo, a gremlin egg, one of predator’s weapons like the disc or spear, the looper hand cannon, wearables might be like the Kergan’s skull Helmet from Highlander? Thanks! :)

The effect is amazing, even when you see it coming from a mile away it still works just as well. Love the texture on the outside, looks totally slimey and gross, just like it should :) Did you add some kind of fabric or is it thin foam forming the outside surface?

Hey Ted (or anyone who knows), I was painting gold onto dark grey Eva foam. I found that the yellow wasn't coming out and you could barely see it, any way to not have to apply 7 coats? xD

When painting with yellow. Your base coat should be white. Yellow is a thin color and it hard to paint on a dark base.

You mention you wrapped this egg in 1/16th upholstery foam, was this something you were able to find easily as raw material? I've been looking for this sort of thin upholstery foam myself but cannot source any anywhere.
