Instructions:
Cut and tear holes in shirt and pants and then tatter ends of sleeves and pant legs (anything to make clothing look like it was old and decaying). Take colored hair spray (i.e. green, black or grey) and spray clothing to give the look of decay.

Apply liquid skin in uneven amounts in small (nickel size) areas to face, hands, neck, etc. Allow to dry. Start peeling patches so as to look like decaying flesh. Cut worms in half and attach cut side with spirt gum to peeled patches of skin. Use makeup to give the effect of mildew and blood, dead skin...you know what every good zombie should look like. Don't forget to do hands, too.
