Tips for Breathing in a Ghost Costume

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here today to tell you how to make yourself up as a not so friendly ghost. Alright, you had your eye holes now cut and you can see through it just fine, but before we go any further we need to have a word about safety. You'll notice that I have eye holes, but there are no mouth holes to breathe through. Now, this may not be an issue for some people but if you have asthma or other breathing elements, it could make for a less than pleasant evening. I'm not saying you're going to pass out, but it could be that you're grasping for breath, especially if you have a sheet which is more than a couple years old, it could be a little musty underneath, there could be some dust mites or other particles in there. In general, breathing could be difficult. If that's the case, then you have to weigh whether or not you want to have more of a pure traditional ghost affect vs. safety. In general no affect is worse risking your health or anyone else's. So if you have any problems breathing, simply repeat the steps that we did for the eyes and just extend that down to the mouth. You can even do like cool jagged affects that are alike. There are different options that you have and it doesn't have to be a third circle beneath your nose. So, but it is more important to breathe and to have a safe Halloween."
