Summary: Learn how to make electrodes for the neck to create a Frankenstein monster costume for Halloween in this free Halloween costume video.
"I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to make Frankenstein's monster. Frankenstein traditionally has electrodes. These electrodes are on the side of his neck. It's what helps give him life when the electric current went through it and reenergized his body. There are different ways you can do electrodes Here today I actually have some plastic casing, which I'm going to put here on the side. I've also seen this done with gray or even actual bolts. Actual bolts though are heavy so you have to keep that in mind. What I'm doing is I'm taking some of our gum spirits that I introduced earlier and I'm dabbing over here on the edges. What this is is a nice adhesive, which will not irritate your skin overly. Of course if you suffered from general skin conditions, it could still do the trick, but generally it will be okay for the evening. Now, I have this attached and I'm basically going to put it here a little bit behind and below the ear. I'm going to hold here for about 60 seconds. What this is going to do is it'll dry and it'll form a bond with the skin. Now, if you're out there shaken around and moving your neck at all odd angles, this could fall off. Gum spirits are usually pretty good at adhering. They can generally be depended up to adhere your electrodes to the side of your neck."
