Here are the images of Allen from Halloween 1995. I took some of these and I beleive the rest his mother took at the house in Los Gatos. I have been doing special F/X stage makeup and appliances now as a hobby of mine for years. Allen had seen some of the amazingly gut-wrenching creations I painstakingly applied to myself just for kicks now and then and contracted me out to make him look like Jeffery Dahmer post-mortem. Seeing as how Allen already bore a striking resemblence to Mr. Dahmer, my work would not be exactly that complex. I spent the next three hours with my Gel F/X, laytex, wax, bruise pallets, fleshtones and various bits creating what I considered one of my better works of art. For once in his life Allen actually sat perfectly still so I could invoke my laytex alchemy. And when I decided I was finished, I let him have a mirror and all he could say was "Wow." I went and did my own thing that Halloween night, but from the stories I heard Allen went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure everyone at the party he attended was revolted by his costume. I was proud.
