So what is your question?

I chose not to be "brave" enough to watch your video...

Its not "My" video as such it's Enty###### from Marble Hornets (A Youtube Horror series)
Masky is seen alot in this video but it also is kinda creepy hard to understand unlesss you have watched entry 1- to 23 of Marble Hornets.
My question (Sorry for not being clear I had been a bit nervus since i'm new to this site) is how I could make the Mask seen in the picture.

Well, first off, Welcome to Instructables! There is no need to feel nervous. There are a lot of really great people here, and I'm sure you'll fit right in.

To make this mask, I would use "plaster cast tape". It's the stuff doctors use to make a cast when you've broken an arm or leg. It can be purchased at medical and education supply stores as well as online. One roll should be enough (but it depends on the size of the roll).

What you'll need is the help of a friend. You'll want to pull your hair back away from your face, and cover the hair line and eye brows with petroleum jelly (as you'll lose any hair stuck in the plaster). Then cut the cast tape into strips about 3-4 inches long. You'll need a bowl of warm water nearby (but don't let the strips get wet until you are ready to immediately use them).

Have your helper wet the cast strips (one at a time), and apply them to your face, starting around the edges of your hair line and working your way inward. Overlap strips to allow for strength and continue working to cover your face. --- The eye area does NOT need to be covered, nor does your nostril area. Make sure there is sufficient layers (at least 3) on all areas of your face (minus covering your eyes, and the underside of your nose).

You'll then have to sit patiently for 10-20 minutes until the plaster has set enough. Then carefully remove it from your face and place it on crumpled up paper so that it will hold it's shape as it continues to dry for about 24 hours.

After that, your mask should be dry and strong so, give it a test fit. You can use sandpaper to smooth areas and make minor cosmetic changes as needed. If you want to improve the nostril area, add one or two layers of plaster, allow to dry and then drill out the nostril holes (or form the plaster around two straws).

Now for the eyes, I would get some black nylons (not too sheer), and use them for the eye area. You'll need to ensure you can see through the nylons and then make a template for the eyes out of paper to the size and shape needed. Once you have the template, cut two pieces out of the nylons that are 1/2" larger around than the template (like a seam allowance). Fold over the extra 1/2" of nylons (all the way around), and secure down with a flexible, clear drying fabric glue (this will prevent the nylon from fraying). Allow both eye shapes to dry (but don't attach them yet).

Finally, give the outside of the mask a light sanding, and remove the dust when done and cover with a good coat of acrylic white paint (craft stuff). Then with a black acrylic paint, make the eyebrows and mouth area. Once everything is dry, you can glue on the eye pieces.

At this point, you can add an elastic to the mask (so that you can wear it), and get a black hair wig. You can either wear the mask and hair piece separately, or glue the hair line of the wig to the forehead of the mask. You just need to make sure that you can get it on and off.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions. :)

Have ou watched all (60) marble hornets videos. It runs in entrys (entry 1-2 . . . ) this one however was not posted by the main characher but this creepy proxy who is threatining the main charachter. at about entry 23-4, when you have watched up to their then you will be extremily scared and this video tops it off, try reading the top comment "really, right before Im going to bed?" and the imdb content advisory for frightning scenes "The ENTIRE movie falls under this category. It is filled with jump scares, unsettling imagery, extremely claustrophobic camera work, sudden use of loud, icky, continuous noise, and an intense atmosphere. DO NOT watch this if you are high-strung or have heart conditions. " If you have seen marble hornets you would know what i mean If you are still interested in watching it heres video 1

It gets interesting around entry15

yeah thank i watched them all and again HOW DO U CALL THAT SCARY have u seen bong chong dong ghost its not scary it actually kind of funny u should watch it IF U HAVE THE GUTS BTW u don't need much guts because it's not very scary
Cyclone1764 (author) in reply to Dusk ShadowsJun 11, 2012. 7:39 AM
Did you watch all 60 episosdes, no? And btw the bong chong dong ghost comic is a thing called a jump scare, and the internet is full of them, its where a sudden unexpeted movement appears while the veiwer is confused or concentrating on a certain unrelevent thing. Thebong chong dong ghost is not the only one, here are some other ones, Jeff the killer, The kid from the movie the exercist (very popular) or just a random clown pictuir. to remind you of other peoples opinions heres a review.

I never cared about jump scares cause to be honest, THEY ARENT SCARY it just some no body trying to be noticed and as for your korean comic keep in mind its just some minium wage waster trying to earn money without doing any work
Dusk Shadows in reply to Cyclone1764Jun 11, 2012. 2:24 PM
yeah i just saw 60 it was o.k
Cyclone1764 (author) in reply to Dusk ShadowsJun 12, 2012. 7:39 AM
All 60 episodes, cause theres 58 entrys and entry 19.5 and entry ######.
And what do you mean 60 was ok? It hasent come out yet and don't try to tell me you have watched them all because according to IMDb it run time is almost 4 hours and also remember the first series was rated (not officaly but by IMDb staff) strictally over 15 for very Strong Pyschological Horror and Sustained Menace and also rated r for thematic material, sustained menace and terror.
So I hope you have learned about the flaws in you lying and please, next time tell the truth
Dusk Shadows in reply to Cyclone1764Jun 12, 2012. 5:20 PM
the only reason i lie is because i'm good at it MOST of the time
