masks
This page is to show off the masks I have created over the years. Click images to enlarge.
The Witch: My very first mask I ever made. I experimented different paint jobs on this one, ranging from a cheap Halloween mask look to more realistic fleshy looks. This one later became my brands mascot.
Sad Clown/Nosey The Clown: Another earlier mask, this one with two paint jobs and two hand fabricated hats. One clown heavily inspired by the Don Post studios Emmett Kelly clown mask (middle). The other mask being a more original idea of a sad clown suiting a honking nose to hide what's underneath...poor Nosey.
Skin Mask: This is my take on a classic gory skin mask. Completely latex, for the stitched areas I used around 160 pieces of soft aluminum wire around the mask and punctured them into the latex to achieve the look I was going for.
Palmer The Thing 1982 Display Mask: This is a display mask of one of the characters/ scenes from John Carpenters The Thing. It is completely hand fabricated with a custom display base. Creating an immersive piece from the bloody snow to the assimilated petri dish and the icy front resin logo.
Aged Skin Mask: Same sculpt and mask as the one above. This one is painted to look aged and dried/ rotted. Fake eyelashes and thread were used on this one as well as painting a TCM pretty woman inspired paint job on it.
Haunted Ghoul Mask: This mask is an original idea but is heavily inspired by the Haunted Mansion and the monsters from Scooby Doo. I did two paint jobs on this one. One more colorful with a glow in the dark eye and really comes to life when different colors of light hit him. The other version is a "Silver Screen" version painted in black & white to commemorate the old horror films from the past.
Lord of Rats Count Orlok: My take on Count Orlok aka Nosferatu from the most recent Nosferatu film by Robert Eggers. This mask really comes alive in dim cold lighting (right).
Mr. Nightmare: An original idea I came up with. Something that came from a sketch and had a couple of different ideas for the paint job on this one.
Regan The Exorcist: My take on Regan Macneil from The Exorcist. Just one I always wanted to do and always loved the makeup by Dick Smith. Did a couple different paint jobs on this, one being Regan in the early stages and the other being her look from later in the film.
Pazuzu Demon: A mask of the Pazuzu demon from The Exorcist. Simple, scary, classic mask.
Frank Zito/Joe Spinell The Maniac: From the horror cult classic Maniac, sculpting the unique likeness of actor Joe Spinell was a joy to do. I have made display versions and wearable versions of this mask.
Art The Clown Mask: From the Terrifier films this wearable mask is similar to how the makeup application is done in the film. Sculpted this one a little smaller than usual to hug to the face a little more to allow some movement for facial expressions. Did a normal look and Santa variant for this one.
Billy Black Christmas: From Bob Clarks 1974 Black Christmas, from the iconic scene from the movie. The first time something like this has been made and overall such a unique piece and paint job.
