Grim Reaper
Why
I loved the visual style of the Grim Reaper from Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life” and I wanted a costume of it.
When
1992, and several repairs since.
Elements
Robe, Cloak, a skull mask (papier mache one I made to begin with) or make-up, Skeletal gloves later on.
Amount of Work
Pattern making, cutting and sewing. I got my mum to help me with this too to save some time.
Level of use
A few random occasions in the 90s, but not really much for many years except for doling out sweets to kids at Halloween. I resumed using it in 2021.
Notes
The disused stage curtains liberated from my school. Also serves as robes for the Plague Doctor. Even with no previous skills or abilities, it wasn’t difficult to figure out a rudimentary pattern to make this long and baggy.
Future use
Probably.
