Wow man thank you so much Douglas, i’ve been watching your videos for a very long time now they are always awesome. You are very inspiring and the most knowledgable guy I know of on the Scream franchise. Thank you so much for watching, made my day dude 😊👍
Hey there, yes John is super reliable and extremely good at what he does. He actually knows Cynthia Bergstrom the person who made the original Ghostface costume in 1996. Thing is he doesn’t always take orders for them you would have to ask him if he’s willing to. What I did was just give him all the time in the world he needed. I find that’s the best thing to do when you have a good artist is just let them do their thing and it’s ready whenever it’s ready. See for me I think it took probably a month and a half or so he was pretty quick but I was willing to wait at least three months. Again I know he has done them in his spare time but I don’t think he regularly offers them. So just reach out to him on Facebook or Instagram and see what he’s willing to do or if he’s willing. If you’re in a hurry I’m sure there’s other companies out there I’m not sure what the wait time is on Screamrobes but their stuff is absolutely top shelf, however they are quite expensive too.
The Burkbench I believe it was somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50 to 60 US or something like that. I forget the exact amount. I did originally order it in chrome but he was having difficulty with it for some reason and was just going to refund me when I said I would settle for a plain gray. They aren’t cheap though that’s for sure.
At the end of the day I really don’t know. Screamrobes is very popular and generally considered to be arguably the top dog out there that makes Ghostface robes. That being said Burke bench has a very good reputation for very accurate robes as well. I believe both use the same Lurex fabric or whatever it’s called, and I believe they are both very high-quality. Mine is the same fabric as well it’s just John did it for me. I saw his robes advertised when he did a few for some people and later I saw Cynthia Bergstrom comment his name specifically when someone asked her about anyone that makes a robe that is accurate to her design for the 96 movie. Once I saw that comment I knew for sure he was the guy had to talk to.
@@MorbidMattski haha thats good! Screamrobes i know had help from the owner of one of the screen used robes, i think its corey hersh not 100% but cant think of who else, when u ask scream robes what they use for references they dont say they give you an answer for a question you didnt ask.
@@Tatteredghost96 yeah a lot of high end artists or cosplay creators don’t really want to give away their secrets. I understand though because sometimes people take them and they start doing their own business off someone else’s information etc so I know it’s kind of like that with some folks and I get where they’re coming from. But yes you can’t go wrong with Scream robes they are probably the biggest name in the game.
@@MorbidMattski yeah some people do. But i am asking him legit questions coz his claim is they are screen accurate and exact replicas so im like ok fine what references do you use if they are screen accurate because other makers say the same thing PES have a new exclusive exact replica now so if theyre both sayin the same thing abd charging like $700 i think they should answer the questions of where they get their references to back up their claims
@@Tatteredghost96 absolutely they are charging an outstanding amount of money for one of those robes it would be fair to have some information I agree.
Honestly I don’t know for sure, I would love to see them. I have seen some things people have put together online with photos and such but never a spread showing perfectly. I just went with John’s ultimately because Cynthia vouched for the accuracy lol it really looks great in person though.
@@MorbidMattski lol yeah thts the problem a lot of them look really good, i have an older PES one it still looks good but its heavey n tassels dont flow or hang freely, bit rigid, doesnt look like father death packaging. I was a tossing up between the new PES new design coz they use a screen used scream 2 template and lighter fabric or screamrobes one, but i feel the screamrobes 1 the hood is a bit too big and baggy. This debate about accuracy will always be on goin, the movie itself used different robes for diff scenes too same with the masks, knb and fun world
@@TheJimyyy i know its baggy in S1, but its a lil too baggy from screamrobes from pics ive seen, in s1 they used a few diff robes with diff hoods the hood with the knb mask was bit thinner and tighter
@@TheJimyyy yeah i saw drownboys review, but tht n s2 robe different design from kathleen detoro, no ones actually got a S1 screen used robe. The knb mask n robe was used in couple of shots with Casey becker and principle Himbry scene, the hood is bigger yes n i like it like tht, my fav shot of it is when he attacks at her home and in Stus parents room when he attacks billy. I just feel maybe its a bit too big, the bottom part near the cheek n neck needs to come in a bit, maybe the draw string fixes tht i dunno
You must’ve not heard me say it only has a chin bib? Lol yeah the mask flap is only under the chin there is no material sewn around the entire mask from ear to ear. I’m not wearing the mask that has a shroud sewn onto it the one in the display is the one that I will normally use I was just too lazy to pull my display apart and put it on for that short video. But that’s why the bottom hangs open like that because it’s only a chin bib that came with an original scream costume from 1997. Sometime I’ll post some shots wearing the other mask and it will look perfect.
@@MorbidMattski lol nah i didnt hear, i was watchin on mute coz wife was watchin tv lol, but i had one with the bib, but i just use my funworld mask with my PES robe
@@Tatteredghost96 For sure if I’m gonna do any serious cosplaying I’ll just use my fun world poly shroud that I’ve had since late 97 or so. The chin bib thing does not work well on its own on my other fun world that came with the costume.
Well you can’t really see much in this video I didn’t get into detail I’ll have to do that sometime. I probably should’ve showed it a lot more close up but I assure you John Gritton pays close attention to detail with the intricacies between each film and Cynthia Bergstrom personally thought he replicated her design from 1996 very well so if it’s good enough for her it’s good enough for me anyway. FYI Screamrobes are great and always pretty much spot on you can always try them.
I'm probably only person on the planet that can't stand scream series. The scream movies keep getting worse by each movie. No neve campbell anymore and that's your biggest star in the scream series lol
Dude I totally know where you’re coming from no new Scream movie will touch the 96 film I really loved it. I didn’t mind the second scream and by the third one I really didn’t like it at all. Then when the fourth one came out I found it utterly ridiculous on who they chose to be the killers like how totally unbelievable. Finally when this new film hit I was hopeful but I didn’t like the characters or the direction they were going and how they tried to reinvent Randy and turn doing some washed up drunk??? 🤦🏻♂️ just silly stuff like that. Actually since the fourth and fifth film came out I think I like the third better than both of them now lol it’s actually grown on me a bit but I disliked it when it came out. I hear where you’re coming from though.
@@ghostlymasked4041 That’s hilarious man lol I didn’t even realize! Lol but yeah thanks for the question I appreciate it. It was nice to see her approval of John‘s work.
@@ghostlymasked4041 yeah man I know I need to do more cosplay videos lol problem is I’m always flying solo with it so it’s hard to do everything myself with camera set up and what not it’s a lot of work on your own with full cosplay setups. Not to mention I pretty much only have time to record any videos in the dead of night when the house is finally quiet. I have kids so there is no peace until everyone is in bed lol. I’m working on it though!
Great video! Subscribed!

Thank you so much for watching, made my day dude 😊👍
Thanks buddy
Thanks so much for watching Clive I appreciate that. I wasn’t sure if you were gonna get to see this or not. Cheers
Tht looks like a dam good robe
Thank you
Great collection
Thank you
Is John gritton reliable? How long did process take from order too delivery?
Hey there, yes John is super reliable and extremely good at what he does. He actually knows Cynthia Bergstrom the person who made the original Ghostface costume in 1996.

It looks better than screamrobes
How much did that knife end up costing?
The Burkbench I believe it was somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50 to 60 US or something like that. I forget the exact amount.
I did originally order it in chrome but he was having difficulty with it for some reason and was just going to refund me when I said I would settle for a plain gray. They aren’t cheap though that’s for sure.
Thxs
I guessed he stopped making these robes, I couldn’t get a hold of him unfortunately
I know he still does them but he doesn’t do them regularly I would keep trying him if you would like him to do it.
Whats the difference between burkbenches and screamrobes?
At the end of the day I really don’t know. Screamrobes is very popular and generally considered to be arguably the top dog out there that makes Ghostface robes. That being said Burke bench has a very good reputation for very accurate robes as well.

How much was the robe
I believe it was around $350ish
No one i guess has ever seen or got any pics of the screen used Scream 96 robe spread out do they
Honestly I don’t know for sure, I would love to see them.

The way the hood is looks 100% accurate. Screamrobes doesnt
Wow thank you very much, I appreciate that.
it doesnt look like a very authentic ghostface costume...

@@MorbidMattski no i was the one asking Cinthya about the robe ! Was funny see the screen capture with my inst profile on your video.

@@MorbidMattski glad indirectly i could help ... She's awesome and man need more videos of that costume made by Jhon is beautiful.
