This homemade costume for women entered our 2022 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Angela, the 'Samara from The Ring' costume creator:

I wanted to be scary this year, so I decided to dress up as Samara from the movie "The Ring" but wanted to capture the part that terrified me the most, her coming out of the TV. I used the front of a real TV and VCR and created the rest out of EVA foam to keep things light. Everything was supported by a belt around my waist. The "cabinet" portion attached to the belt, with fabric from my knees down that connected with velcro to allow me to move while still creating the look of a TV cabinet base. The TV and table top it sat on then locked into the top of it. Lastly, I added carefully placed LEDs to create the tv glow, which worked like a “curtain” so when my hand or body reached past it I appeared to be coming out! Makeup completed the look!

This looks awesome! Great job! I'm wanting to do something similar in my home haunted house this year, but create a structure that she can actually crawl out and come at them. How did you do the wooded scene in the back and is it on the back and sides or just the back? Are the blue leds around the inside edge. You should do a tutorial, this is the best idea Ive seem!! 5 !!!
