When Halloween night approaches, people think that they can dress up to attract attention and be the protagonist. In recent years, people have used costumes of superheroes or characters that are important in society, however, costumes of classic horror characters are used less and less. In this article we are going to tell you how to dress up as a mythical character, Jason Voorhees, the protagonist of one of the best horror movies, Friday the 13th.

Jason costume from Friday the 13th for a boy
Even the smallest of the house can dress up as this character. Jason’s character has some vital elements, such as the hockey mask and the machete. For the mask, please read the last part of this article.
For the machete, we have two options. The first one is to go to any costume store and pick up a soft plastic knife. If you want to do it at home, you will need cardboard, glue, silver foil and scissors. With the scissors, we cut out the shape we want for our knife, including the handle. Once you have it, place the cut out piece on top of the cardboard to make another exactly the same. Stick them with glue and when they are dry, wrap the part of the cardboard that simulates the blade of the knife with silver paper. You can paint a part red to simulate blood.
The clothing that Jason wears is long pants and a basic black t-shirt, accompanied by a jacket or a dark brown shirt. Take old clothes, that are no longer used, and make some holes. If you want to add more realism, put red paint on the clothes.

To give you ideas, you can look at these ideas that we now give you seen through Jason’s homemade costumes from Friday the 13th for children. One of the first that we show you is perhaps the most complete of all. It consists of having a matching military-style jacket and pants, a costume that is very successful considering that much of the first film Jason dresses in this way. In this way, the costume will be practically done. The shirt and pants can be slightly stained with fake blood, and to complete the costume, there is nothing like choosing a black t-shirt. Then we add the mask and the machete and voila.
Another costume, this time for a very small Jason. We can choose a denim-type shirt, dark-colored jeans, closed shoes or boots, a camouflage print t-shirt and a turtleneck sweater, taking into account that Halloween is in October and it is possible that the children are a bit cold. The mask and the machete are also not missing.

This other completely homemade Jason costume for a child and toddler is the one we see above. In this case, a complete suit or jumpsuit has been chosen, in black, although we can also choose a shirt and pants of the same dark color or a sweatshirt and black tracksuit pants and we paint with white paint creating a kind of stains as if it were a print similar to military. Also add the mask and machete.
If you want something simpler, you can bet on something like what we see below. In this case, it is a blue shirt, with a matching T-shirt and jeans. Then, we buy any white mask and stain it with red paint as if it were the effect of blood. With the aforementioned cardboard we can make the machete or we can also do it with a bit of eva rubber.

In this other image we can see how Jason’s Halloween costume has been created from the mask and the machete and little else, since the child only wears a white sheet over it. We want to believe that the photo was taken before the child dressed up, because the truth is that it does not seem to be a very comfortable option, although there is no doubt that it helps us to see how the mask and machete should be so that it is very more realistic. You can take it as an example to make it by your own hands.
Jason costume from Friday the 13th for men
For the adult Jason Voorhees costume, we are going to use practically the same as for the child. You can break the clothes more or even make them look burned in some areas, to give it a darker look. In the case of the knife, you can make it yourself or buy it, although you can also disguise yourself using another very famous weapon of the character, the chainsaw. We recommend buying the chainsaw on Amazon, where there are several models so you can choose the one you like the most.
But if you prefer, you can buy the complete Jason costume, so you can save some work. On Amazon you can find several different models, depending on which movie it refers to, but they are all great for Halloween.

In the event that you want your Jason costume from Friday the 13th for Halloween to be something more homemade, you have many options or in fact it is quite easy. You can do it as we see in the photo above, with a shirt and jeans.
A shirt that will be good for you to break so that it fits you as we see in this other photo. Then you can stain it a little with blood and combine it with a white t-shirt and some simple jeans and boots. Then we can add the mask and machete and we’re done.

In this other image we see a style of Jason’s costume from Friday the 13th quite similar, although choosing a different color shirt and t-shirt. We then verify that the tones that are chosen do not matter, since the key will be to choose a shirt and t-shirt that we have little at home and break it to create our homemade costume for this coming Halloween.
In this other homemade Jason costume from Friday the 13th for Halloween, the chosen tones have been mainly the black of the pants and the jacket that we can also break a little to make it more in keeping with the character. Don’t forget to also add a torn shirt and also the classic mask and also the machete.

If you want you can also make more elaborate costumes like this one that we see, with a jacket decorated in a way that seems to show Jason’s entrails and also, a chain is added to give it a more dramatic effect.
And we also have this other one in which we can see how the blue suit, all torn and stained, is also added another layer with a shirt that has also been torn and filled with blood for a much more terrifying effect.

Jason mask from Friday the 13th
Without a doubt, the element that most identifies the main character of Friday the 13th is the hockey mask with blood stains. You can go to a sports store and buy a mask, to which you add spots of red paint to simulate blood. Another option, and perhaps the most recommendable, is to buy the mask worn by the protagonist directly in a costume store or in an online store. The first model is a mask, which has two straps on the sides and one on top so that it stays well attached to the head.
The other mask that you can buy is a latex mask in which we introduce the head. This model includes part of the disfigured face, which is why it is more terrifying than the previous one.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
In the event that you know how to work with latex, you can do something similar to what we see now. A mask we saw on Etsy for kids once removes his hockey mask considering Jason’s face is burned.
Another idea that can serve as an alternative to the masks that are always worn or, in fact, the ones that are sold. It consists of a kind of wrinkled sheet or bag, although it cannot miss a couple of holes for the eyes.
