Being a zombie, whether for Halloween or your local Zombie Walk, calls for some blood stained clothes and makeup to get that rotting corpse look. Having been a zombie myself I wish I would of had some good looking prosthetics in addition to my makeup and dried blood. Just a little something like an exposed broken bone, part of my brain showing, or even have the whole side of my face peeling off would have been an excellent addition. So in an effort to help others get their full enjoyment out of their next zombie costume I’d like to suggest some prosthetics that would look great on any zombie.

The most popular place to put a prosthetic is on your face/head region as that’s where every one is staring to see if they should be ready for the Zompocalypse or if it’s just a costume.
My personal picks would be;

• Oozing Wounds
• Grey Matter (exposed bit of brain)
• 3D Burn (half of face is burnt)
• Socket to Me (exposed eye socket)
• Chemical Peel (half of face is burnt)
• Ghoul Makeup Kit (exposed eye ball and teeth through cheek)
• Chomped Neck (as shown, right)
• Shredded (5 large slashes)

A simple prosthetic add-on that can make a big difference without altering you face and perhaps creating usability problems while snacking on food at your Halloween party is this Broken Bone. Another simple add-on that doesn’t involve the face would be to slap on some bullet wounds. We all know zombies don’t care about bullets so I’m envisioning these placed upon your chest or arms with holes in clothes so you can see them. Only put them on your head below the eyes, because you wouldn’t be shambling anywhere if you sustained a shot to the brain.

If you’d rather get the personal touch and go the DIY route there are some places online where you can get some good tips and suggestions.
