Although I missed this for halloween, I think I'm going to use a couple of these for costume parties I have coming up, so thank you!

One idea I had was to use this to dress up as blue man group. If any one wants they could write a guide because I don't want to use it if I'm just going to fail miserably!

I think it would be a funny idea to do though, I haven't seen one before

That's great!
I used to work for Blue Man Group in Boston as their make-up artist. That's exactly what we used to use, and the instructions look great too. I guess the secrets are out of the bag!!

I didn't get the costume made, so no instructable, but if you can figure it out, make a giant felt bronchial inhaler with the curved part for a hood. Write VLAD across the front. "Vlad the Inhaler"

I love it.
I'd probably add "Keep out of direct sunlight" (just for those who get it)
