Halloween is of course a great time of year to express your creative energies. I went to the Halloween store but didn't see anything I particularly liked so I'm considering creating a latex prosthetic. Its pretty easy and fun. So you use alginate to create a mold of your face, then create a positive in plaster. Over the plaster bust you're going to use clay (preferably oil based clay) to sculpt on top of it to create the look you want. You are then going to create a mold using gypsum of the bust with the clay on it. You are then going to scrape all the clay off your plaster bust and you'll pour latex between your gypsum mold and the plaster bust. You then attach the latex prosthetic with spirit gum and cover your face and latex piece in makeup to achieve your desired effect.
Admittedly this is not my professional field so there may be better or easier ways to do this but its how I know to do it.
