Sleestak mask, Billy Puppet Saw mask, Baby Doll mask, Garden Gnome mask..

Believe it or not, the husband really liked my last post.  He still has some ideas of his own but not enough time yet to sit down and write out his own blog entry.  So, until that happens, here is another one from me!  Honestly, the following masks have little in common.  I just liked them and for totally different reasons.

I grew up with the magical world of Sid and Marty Krofft on my television.  Along with Sigmund and the Sea Monsters and The Bugaloos, one of my very favorite television shows was Land of the Lost.  So this Sleestak mask made to resemble the monsters from the 2009 Will Ferrell Land of the Lost remake brings back fond memories – even though it was the show’s resident “villain”.  It looks even more detailed than the original 70’s Sleestak costume.

Saw’s Billy Puppet mask is also modeled after a film “villain”.  The Billy Puppet character is used in the 2004 movie Saw by the lead antagonist to communicate with his victims.  The puppet itself is extremely creepy and the mask – and complete Saw puppet costume – even creepier.

The Devil Skull mask and Baby Doll mask are two random creepy masks.  Every loves a good devil and the Devil Skull certainly delivers on that.  The Baby Doll mask is so completely horrifying to me in its simplicity.  I have no idea if it comes from a movie or something – if it does, and you know it, please feel free to leave a comment.  It is, however, the most inexpensive cool mask I have seen at $5.99.  You’re guaranteed to make skin crawl like crazy at any party you attend.

And last, and not scary in the least, is the Gnome mask.  For some reason when I had my first child, my husband was hell bent that we should dress her up as a garden gnome for Halloween.  We didn’t – she was a goat instead in keeping with her status as a Capricorn, but this idea has always made us laugh just the same.  When I saw this mask, it just seemed fitting that it should be a suggestion for the man who first suggested it.
