How to put it together
- 1
Choose your character path: select the clean, faceless Slender Man suit or the messy, blood-splattered Jeff the Killer hoodie.
- 2
For Slender Man: Put on a crisp white dress shirt, tie a black tie, and put on the black suit trousers and jacket.
- 3
Pull the white spandex morph mask over your head, ensuring it is pulled taut so your facial features are flattened.
- 4
For Jeff the Killer: Put on black skinny jeans and the white hooded sweatshirt.
- 5
Apply pale white face paint over your entire face and neck, then use black eyeshadow to create deep, dark hollows around your eyes.
- 6
Use red face paint or fake blood to draw a wide, exaggerated grin stretching from the corners of your mouth to your cheeks.
Makeup & hair
For Slender Man, no hair or makeup is needed under the solid white mask. For Jeff the Killer, apply stark white face paint, heavy black rings around the eyes, a carved red smile, and wear a messy, unkempt black wig.
