This sweater became recognizable thanks to the film "Nightmare on Elm Street." He will even know those who have not seen the film. And although the film was removed long ago, but it is often mentioned in all sorts of books, films and comics, the bright role of the maniac is still known to many. Few people know that the image was taken by the creator from street beggar. And he will inspire artists and photographers for many more years. In everyday life, you can use Freddie Kruger sweater, for example, to work, and on Halloween add holes and make a killer costume.
History of Sweaters
Color selection for a sweater is not accidental. Directors were intended to make a character very scary and stupid. Therefore, they chose a combination of green, marsh and red. The image of Freddie for a masquerade or the thematic evening is quite easy to repeat. To do this, wear a sweater, a hat and a glove with blades.
The film premiere of the film took place in 1989. Until that time, it was not entirely clear what kind of color clothes had a character. Home televisions at that time did not allow to see an accurate and colorful picture. This is now a picture of perfect accuracy. Therefore, many thought that the sweater was red and black, not red-green.
The combination of the colors of a sweater with a horizontal strip from a psychological point of view is poorly perceived by people and causes bad feelings. Symbolically red is the blood of the victims, and the green is the number of sins.
The model of the sweater was also chosen taking into account slurry. On the one hand it is Oversize, but not solid. In some frames, it looks great and stretched. In others, he is very sloppy. Everywhere holes, arrows, throat and cuff stretched and dissolved. Sometimes it sees traces of fighting victims. These nuances will be useful for those who want to make a costume for Halloween.

In general, the image of Freddie Kruger wondered a little different. But since a lot of time passed, it is already difficult to get to the truth. It had to be a long black cloak. But on the shooting because of the workload missed this moment. Instead of a raincoat, a sweater appears. Moreover, it was not part of the props. He was borrowed from one of the members of the film crew. The most interesting thing is that the sweater was handmade. Favorite tied him as a gift, but he did not like the soul and without the shade of regret the sweater was donated. Now, when he became fashionable and famous, the young man would hardly get rid of him.
Suit on Haloween
In Russia, many celebrate this holiday. For us, he, of course, does not matter. But the very idea of dressing up in the evil souls had to do some people, as a rule, adolescents and young people are celebrated. Nowadays, the fans of horror films on this holiday usually put on the costumes of maniacs and murderers. In stores you can find a large selection of things similar to the image of Freddie. If not limited to the shape of the sweater, t-shirts, women's knitted dresses, men's sweatshirts are suitable and, possibly, swimsuits in red and green colors. Since initially it was a hand-knit sweater, you can order his familiar needlewoman or try to tie a sweater with your own hands. If you wear only a sweater, your image will undoubtedly recognize, but it is possible to supplement it with bright items.
A black hat with small fields fit well. Feet can be shown in big boots, beris or shoes. On the face you can put maker or use the mask. The burnt face of the character is difficult to draw on its own, it is better to attract a professional grimer.
On one hand, Freddie Kruger usually had a glove with long blades. If you cannot find such, you can make a glove yourself. We take the wrong glove and plan holes for knives. In plastic knives we remove the handles and paint their gray paint under the color of the real blades. It will be more convenient to use paint in the cylinder. We make slots in the holes and insert ready-made blades there. They can be glued or sewed. The terrible and plausible accessory is ready.
