Tips for Zombie Costume:
1. Shop at thrift stores or raid your parent's closet.
2. Cover your body as much as possible with clothes and require less make-up.
3. Old fashioned, unflattering outfits are most effective... thus your parent's closet!
4. Add dirt, marks, tear holes in your costume. Use black/brown shoe polish or better yet run over costume with car to leave tire tracks.
5. Appear as though you've risen from the dead.
6. Wear comfortable, dark shoes that are good to dance in.
7. Add baby powder to clothes and hair to appear dusty.

Tips for Zombie Hair & Make-up:
1. No masks please.
2. Use hairspray to tease hair up or wear a crazy wig.
3. Use theatrical make-up or regular make-up: pale foundation, dark shadows under eyes, eyeliner, fake blood.
4. Ensure your make-up and hair combo does not obstruct your vision or cause you to lose focus during the dance.

If any of you "zombies" already know the dance and would like to just practice come 15 minutes before class ends as this is when we are ready to go over the full dance. I can stay up to an extra 30 minutes on Tuesday night to practice!

The Goodwill Store is a great place for cheap costumes! I got a Adam's Family Style dress for only $4 over the weekend. We will have a table set up with makeup and fake blood for touch-ups on the 25th but you should be DEAD looking ON ARRIVAL!
