I also used a cheap voice disguiser mounted on the shoulder strap to make my voice deep and demented.

I connected through bluetooth to my iPhone that played the sound effect. Sound: I also used a Jambox mounted in my backpack for the cracking of fire sound effect. I wired both foggers to a 2 channel control switch leading to my right arm. One mounted on my backpack and one on the bottom of my cloak shooting into a looping vacuum hose sewn into the cloak with holes spaced 6' apart. Smoke FX: For the smoke effect I used 2-Look Solutions Tiny FX Tiny Fogger Fog/Smoke Machine with their own Lipo batteries and fog juice jug each. I powered all of this with 2-3 Cell Lipo 5000ma batteries. These Micro controllers are pretty neat and are a good price. These controllers have multiple flicker effects to switch from. I could have used just one but I didn't want to see any pattern in the flicker. So all LED's won't flicker at the same wave length and speed. I did this because I wanted control of the flicker effect for each color and the face light. I used one for each LED strand and the wing USB lights by color and the other two for the two different color face USB lights (Red and Yellow). I controlled these LED's with 5-MCBRF-4A Single Color LED Mini Dimmer with Dynamic Modes - RF Remote from.

I used two black USB lamps for the face light and four white USB lights to light up the wings. I also used 6 Ikea JANSJÖ LED USB lamps (Black and White covers). I used 3 sets of 216 Vinkerman Angel Teardrop LED Lights (Red, Orange, and Yellow). Lighting: I have over 650 LED flicking inside the costume simulating burning coal. Scythe: The scythe is made from 1' Insulation foam, fiber glass, 1' aluminum flat stock, a tree branch, and latex/spray paint. I used 6” platform boots, football shoulder pads, and a bike helmet to make the reaper stand over 6’8”. The hands are also medical grade plastic bones and latex sewn onto black gloves. I also using hot glue for the cob-webing texture. I cut holes and painted the fabric with Latex paints to make the cloak look like its been burnt and worn. Body: I made the cloak out of several layers of different transparent textured fabrics. This frame also supports the LED Lighting, fog machines, a speaker and LIpo Batteries. The wings are rigged to an army 'Alice' backpack frame. Using thin wire to add strength and positioning. I used liquid latex and cotton for the wings skin. I used the fingers of the hands to create the wing tips. You can get these bones from I dissembled the arms and rearranged the bones to form the wings.

Looking for souls! Wings: I made the wings with 2 full sets of real medical grade human plastic bones. I wanted the Reaper to appear to be walked out of the fires of hell still simmering. I built and wore the Angel of Death Grim Reaper Costume for the 2013 Nyc Halloween Parade.
