Three thousand miles and a week later, the painted suit hangs in the Evil Dead II makeup lab. After using Dick Smith's PA-X formula of Pros-Aide and Liquitex acrylic paints as a base, I hand-paint and airbrush washes of watercolor and thinned PA-X.


I give the split-open areas a wetter look by coating the painted washes with Phlex-glue.

Henrietta's prepainted foam latex appliances rest on forms of Ted's face.





With baldcap in place, Ted has his upper lip preglued with Dow 355 medical adhesive, then powdered.

The preglued upper lip is applied, followed by the nose and wraparound jowl piece.

 All the face appliances are in place except for the chin. At this point, Ted has lunch while I prepare the wig and Bob Kurtzman readies the arm appliances and slip-on latex feet. No need for Odor-Eaters.
