Homemade Donnie Darko Frank The Bunny Halloween Costume
Excellent costume on eBay – The costume includes the Mask, the suit, and gloves. The mask is made of high quality professional mask latex (the kind they use in big budget horror films) and it comes straight from an original mold that I created. What that means is you will not find this particular mask anywhere else but here. The gloves and suit are made of alpine fleece and faux fur. Link.
