The Days of Plastic Halloween Masks Are Over
Full Coverage Latex Masks
These days you don't have to worry about anyone "snapping" your mask on you because those plastic masks are a thing of the past. Today you'll find more elaborate full-headed latex masks that are extremely realistic looking from your favorite cartoon characters to your favorite political leaders (although sometimes it's hard to tell them apart). From earlier Presidents such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to Bill Clinton and George W Bush, political masks are always popular during the Halloween season. They're fun to wear and no matter what your political views are you can be sure there will be plenty of "heated" topics of conversation. Horror Masks are Very Realistic
The realism of Halloween masks is striking.
If it's horror you're looking for this Halloween, look no further than a latex mask. It's amazing how real the latex and vinyl masks look complete with rotted teeth and hair made from synthetic fibers. With just about any horror mask you can throw on a black turtleneck and black pants and the "scare factor" look is complete.Big sellers every year at Halloween are the classic horror film characters such as:
- Michael Myers - Halloween
- Jason - Friday the 13th
- Freddy Krueger - Nightmare on Elm Street
- Leatherface - Texas Chainsaw Massacre
From Scary to Funny
Just about any type of Halloween mask can be found on the market today.
No one ever tires of other classics such as Frankenstein, the Werewolf, the Zombie or the Vampire. There are so many great scary Halloween masks to choose from it's hard to pick just one. If you want to bring a truly evil character to life at your next Halloween costume party, be sure put on a sinister mask that people only see in their nightmares.Hollywood plays a big role in Halloween costumes and masks are no exception. Children's masks are all the rage from toddlers to tweens. From the big screen you have the likes of Shrek, Toy Story, Batman, Superman and Spiderman. On the television front you'll find great Halloween masks for Spongebob, Wizard of Oz, The Simpson's and a host of Disney and Nickelodeon characters. There's something for all ages.
This year make your Halloween costume complete by wearing a mask. They come in all shapes and sizes; humorous, horror, animals, roman and medieval, television, movies and famous faces.
So you see the Halloween mask has come a long way over the years. It's evolved from the plastic mask with the elastic headband to a more realistic special effects mask of today. No more sweating and cutting of the eye holes with masks from the past. Comfort, fit and safety come together to give you the masks of the future!
How Halloween Masks Are Made
National Geographic Halloween Special Featuring Darkside Studio Master Mask Maker Paul Daniels
www.darksidestudio.com Paul is one of the world's best mask makers! Here he is explaing how he works his magic! Make sure you check out his site! www.darksidestudio.com Walking into Darkside Studio, you would think you have just entered a special effects shop somewhere in Hollywood, California, but one of the world's finest mask crafters is right here in the Chicago south suburban community of Steger Illinois. Owner Paul Daniels is the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back if you asked. He is a happily married father of four that has latex coursing through his veins. "Darkside Paul" (as he is known) started making monsters back in 1984 after his Grandfather died the day before Halloween. He found making masks very cathartic and one of those things that either made you embrace the Halloween holiday or plain hate it.Paul elected to embrace it and how! Paul got addicted to the rubbery stuff as a mask collector and decided to take the plunge himself in 1995.Darkside Studio was born out of his garage and laundry room. Darkside Studio is a true family business. Along with a small production team, his wife Kim, does the business book work. His twin sons Scott and Chris help out in the busy season with painting and hairing. Darkside Studio also features a wide array of ncredibly detailed masks sculpted by Jeremy Bohr, Pete Infelise, Doug Goins, Jeff Wehenkel , Joe Lester, Don Lanning, Jon Fuller, John Smith and Vincent Van Dyke. Paul personally checks every item that leaves the studio to guarantee it is of the highest quality. Darkside Paul's Motto: "Try to live for today, tomorrow is our only hope. Everyday is a gift." www.darksidestudio.com
