===Design=== [[File:Green Goblin animatronic make-up for Spider-Man (2002 film).jpg|thumb|The original animatronic headgear for the Green Goblin was created by Amalgamated Dynamics.]] The Green Goblin's original headgear was an animatronic mask created by [[Amalgamated Dynamics]].<ref>{{cite web |date=July 8, 2017 |title='Spider-Man': Willem Dafoe's Original Green Goblin Mask Was Amazing |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/spider-man-willem-dafoes-original-green-goblin-mask-was-amazing-1019532/ |website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]}}</ref> Dafoe described it as a "Halloween mask" and "kind of silly-looking". The designers then created a helmet that Dafoe termed "very angular, very modern ... more like an armor."<ref name="Oral History" /> Dafoe also wanted the costume to be flexible enough to allow him to do splits.<ref>{{cite web |date=May 3, 2002 |title=Dafoe's Role as Green Goblin Isn't the Stretch It Might Seem |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-may-03-et-dretzka3-story.html |website=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> To create Spider-Man's costume, Maguire was fitted for the skintight suit, being covered with layers of substance to create the suit's shape.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Tyrangiel |first=Josh |date=August 14, 2000 |title=He has radioactive blood, now about those pecs |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,997713,00.html?promoid=googlep |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930180825/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,997713,00.html?promoid=googlep |archive-date=September 30, 2007 |access-date=January 22, 2007 |magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]}}</ref> One concept costume designer [[James Acheson]] became fond of was the idea of having a red emblem over a black costume. Another, which would eventually lead to the final product, featured an enlarged logo on the chest and red stripes going down the sides of the legs.<ref name="hughes" /> In early development, Acheson experimented with a potential helmet-like design for the suit, which was then scrapped. It was designed as a single piece, including the mask. A hard shell was worn underneath the mask to make the shape of the head look better and to keep the mask tight while keeping the wearer comfortable. For scenes in which Spider-Man would take his mask off, there was an alternate suit where the mask was a separate piece. The webbing, which accented the costume, was cut by computer. The mask eye lenses were designed to have a mirror look.<ref>{{cite web |last=KJB |date=January 13, 2001 |title=Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Update |url=http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/034/034485p1.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120311105354/http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/034/034485p1.html |archive-date=March 11, 2012 |access-date=April 28, 2007 |website=[[IGN]] |df=mdy-all}}</ref> For the spider that gives Peter his abilities, Raimi selected the [[Steatoda grossa]], which was painted with red and blue makeup.<ref>{{cite web |last=Trivedi |first=Bijal P. |date=May 2, 2002 |title=The Spider Man Behind Spider-man |url=http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/05/0502_020502_TVspiderman_2.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060521091441/http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/05/0502_020502_TVspiderman_2.html |archive-date=May 21, 2006 |website=National Geographic}}</ref>
