Here's mine, which I wore initially at a horror con in October '05 and then used it for the next Halloween as well, heh.

The burlap is a bit itchy, but not terrible. I also installed a voice changer in the mask to give myself a deeper, raspier sound (it worked..okay, heh) and I turned one of these -

into a fear gas sprayer. I painted it black, replaced the silly string with an aerosal air freshner (my fear gas was pine fresh!), flipped it upside down so that it fired when I clenched my fist instead of the Spidey motion, and slid it up my jacket sleeve.

Wow, brilliant dude. My friends and I are just making our own burlap-sack masks to wear and freak the crap outta people at night. Our inspiration is "The Strangers" movie. lol.

But yeah I'm making mine similar to Scarecrow's.

Thanks. The dude from The Strangers (haven't seen it, but have seen the commercials) looks pretty similar to Nolan's Scarecrow. It's a creepy look, for sure.

My girlfriend still has a hard time looking at me in it, heh.

AZspidey, I really like that mask. I was wondering, How did you get it to have that burn look? Did you just put a lighter to it and then put it out quickly? I have to make one for The Dark Knight when I go to see it and I was wondering if you had any tips for making it look as authentic as yours is.

Thanks,

Zeraphex

The mask isnt mine its my friends and I believe he used acrylic pant to give it that weathered look.

Thanks for the pics AZSpidey.

The mask pictured in AZSpideys posts is one that I did a few years back for Begins. I sold them on a few forums and mainly ebay.
They're made from burlap, twine, rope, thick gauge metal wire, superglue, black and brown acrylic, and square leather laces for the mouth. All materials for these except for the noose rope, can be obtained at walmart (where I got the materials for mine back when).
Takes about 2 days per mask. If anyone is interested, I can post up a tutorial on how to make your own. Here are a few pics for right now.
The weathering is indeed acrylic as someone mentioned. I slightly watered down some black and weathered the eyes with that, "painting" it on the burlap directly.
Then with a brush and water I wetted the black outwards giving it the appropriate look. I did that for the brown as well, with a mixture of thick and thin acrylics to get the overall look. Doing that process leaves the entire mask damp so it has to dry overnight, and by the next day the colors have naturally seeped where I wanted them to go. By using different layers of black and brown for everything but the eyes, as well as adjusting how much water, the weathering was controlled (since I was making alot).

The pics here with the suit top are of the very first mask I did, which I made templates from to make all the others.

Thanks
Tyler

Looking back over pics I havent looked at in a damn long time, I'm getting all worked up wanting to make one again for sure. I'm going to tomorrow night (less weathering like the first initial one, latter ones I got too carried away with IMO). Might just have to make a display bust as well.
Would there be any interest in Scarecrow display busts? 1/1 scale. Not promoting here, just asking fellow fans.

Yea TylerHaslett, I would be interested in a tutorial or more pictures if you wouldn't mind. I'm currently working on my own right now and any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[XxDarkRebelXx]

awesome mask!

 

[TylerHaslett]

Your mask is pretty ****in cool il Ciccio

 

[papamurf812]

Actually... I would LOOOOOVE the tutorial for this mask. And how do you do the bag? I have burlap but I dunno how to sew it. Do I just make it into a sack? Wouldn't that make the edges of the bottom of the bag pointy?

Cuz me and all of my friends are each dressing up as different villains (movie representations)

this is a really amazing and fantastic job, kudos great great work. very professional.

 

[papamurf812]

So no tutorial?

 

[TylerHaslett]

I'll get one up in the next couple of days, been super busy working on some other things. Basically throw out all assumptions of how cloth moves, burlap is different. I learned to tinker with it and alter its shape via water, and even superglue. Think further out.
I'll have some more info etc within a few days, thanks for the interest.

Heres my scarecrow mask, in prog's and final.

Yep, taped together and all

Here i thought it would be a good idea to glue rice to the mask to make it look like maggots from the movie, i was wrong.
So i scrapped that one and begun on this (finished pics)

And the Jokerized myspace image for the next few days.

Thank you good sir!

I eagerly await your assistance, I've been looking forward to tackling this mask and yours looks fantastic so you're the guy with the knowledge.

I can't wait. You did a phenomenal job!

If one of you skilled gentlemen would make me a mask, I would most certainly pay a decent price for it.

just make it yourself. That's the fun of it.

 

[ScarecrowMan666]

What exactly would I need to make it?

 

[ffejeromdiks]

What exactly would I need to make it?

Mine was simple, Burlap, Needle and thread (brown thread and black) Hot glue and Cardboard.
First i made a cardboard frame to fit around my head, then i hot glued pieces of burlap around it, once i got the frame of the mask, i tore the burlap from the cardboard carefully, then marked eye holes and cut them out, then i glued more burlap over it and threaded it. then i cut a region for the mouth, and stitched that up and finally cut the bottom sections of the mask off.

After i finished it, i realized that i had one of those 99 cent batman masks that could make details pop out more, so i cut the ears off of the simple mask and glued it in the appropriate places under the mask, and it showed definition of a brow under the mask.
really simple, just time consuming.
If you need any help i can try to help

 

[ScarecrowMan666]

Help would be great...because I really want mine to look authentic you know? I'm a perfectionist when it comes to The Scarecrow...he's obviously my favorite Batman character. Though recently Joker has risen up in ranks as well. Wonder why? lol
