I made my hair into a teased mess and wore lots of makeup. I also bought this stretchy gold fabric to make a tube dress to wear underneath the red/gold garb. Then I cut them off the shirt and hot glued them to the arm holes on the costume. For the arms i took an old long sleeve t-shirt that I had and covered the sleeves with silicone and painted them in the same green colors that the rest of the costume was painted. I watched the movie on repeat and tried to sew the fabric to make it look like the dress in the movie (large sleeves, off the shoulders). For the final step, SLIMER needed some arms and hands. I purchased a large piece of reddish gold shimmery fabric from the Fabric store. “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!” Despite us wearing the costume, not too many people seemed to get what we were right away until we would recite a line ( “there is no Dana, there is only Zuul!, “Are you the Gatekeeper? “) or just tell people who we were (maybe not enough Ghostbuster fans at the party we went to!)!! Nevertheless we had a blast and enjoyed acting out the parts for friends. Louis is possessed by a demon named Vinz, the Keymaster, so they had to get together! Some of scenes they are in are the funniest of the movie. In the movie, Dana Barrett is possessed by Zuul and declares herself the Gatekeeper. In the hours after work (after purchasing the fabric and items that we would need), we would sit on the couch while I sewed my dress and my husband made his colander hat thing. After searching online, I couldn’t really find any costumes or images of anything that inspired much at the time so we decided to make our own versions. We loved the idea of the Gatekeeper (Zuul/Dana Barrett played by Sigourney Weaver) and Keymaster (Louis/Vinz Clortho played by Rick Moranis). We figured there would be many others who dress up in the typical Ghostbuster suit with proton pack so we wanted to do something different. We are well aware! One of our favorite movies is Ghostbusters so we wanted to be characters from that movie.
