Halloween Masks: Putting Your Best Face Forward

It’s been Mom’s advice to kids of all ages for years, right?  Put your best face forward and try to make a good first impression.  That’s solid advice from good ol’ Mom and we’re sure that she’d be in full agreement that it even applies to Halloween, right?  Certainly we’re all about making good first impressions, and your Halloween costume is the perfect chance to do just that.  First impressions do count, and with the addition of an appropriate Halloween mask, your costume and the impression it creates amongst your friends and cohorts this Halloween is apt to be quite memorable. 



Zombie looks are hot, hot, hot right now with these creatures being featured both in cable TV programming and in new feature films soon to be released.  In AMC’s “The Walking Dead” the storyline basically tells the tale of Sherriff Rick Grimes who after weeks in a coma, wakes up to discover that the world he used to know is gone and has now been overtaken by a Zombie epidemic!  What could be more awesome!  World War Z (to be released later in 2011) is another Zombie thriller starring Brad Pitt that has also sparked a lot of excitement and renewed interest in the whole idea of these “come back from the dead” characters.  A detailed and truly horrific Zombie mask, such as our Zombie tongue mask is going to create a face that truly looks like something from beyond the grave.

Feeling lazy?  “Today I don’t feel like doing anything!”  If that is your mantra, you may need the perfect mask to wear while you express this sentiment.  Our officially licensed Chimp mask is just like the one worn in the Bruno Mars music video and is also the perfect solution when you just feel like “not doing anything” except for monkeying around, of course.  This Chimp mask is hilarious and yet oddly adorable, too.  Perfect for group dress up or on it’s own, this mask has great costume potential for many different looks.

Another piece of motherly advice that you may have been given at some point was to generally avoid the topics of religion and politics during social settings.  These subjects can be hot buttons for many and you do have to be aware of your social group and how they are going to react when topics like this are brought to light.  Our collection of political masks, albeit controversial, is going to get some animated conversation started at your next Halloween function.  Tread lightly, brave ones but if you are going for a big political statement, go all out with our Osama Bin Laden Missile Head Mask or our Gaddafi Mask.  We also have some lighthearted versions of the President and the First Lady as well as a mask of the ever-present Sarah Palin. 

Put your best face forward this Halloween with one of our detailed, realistic and fabulous masks!  Mom would be proud.

SCREAM4 and Our Top Ten Scariest Movies of All Time

Scream4

Today, April 15th marks the release of the 4th movie in Wes Craven’s Scream series.  If the first trilogy made the hair on the back of your neck stand up, Scream 4 is bound to do the same.   With most of the old characters back as well as some new, younger faces, this movie will take you right into the heart of darkness and redefine what fear is. This latest chapter in the Scream series is out just in time for a good Spring Break scare.   After you’ve seen Scream 4, check out our list of the Top Ten Scariest Movies of all time.

TOP 10 SCARIEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME

Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)- This classic horror flick gets started with the ominous line “based on true story” which pretty much makes a chill go down your spine every time.  Whether it’s Leatherman’s human skin mask or that hideous chain saw sound—this is the perfect slasher movie for those that aren’t afraid to be scared or grossed out to death.

The Ring (2002)- Naomi Watts takes on some really freaky chick that would actually really like to climb out of a well, kill people and eat their guts.  Freaky Stuff.

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978) -This sci-fi thriller will leave you very disappointed if you like happy endings.  If your family starts acting strangely it may make you wonder a bit, too. 

Dawn Of The Dead (1978)- This sequel to the “Night of the Living Dead” brought new life to the zombie genre and with good reason.  This horror flick has some of the goriest scenes ever recorded on film—definitely horrific enough to get it banned in 7 countries. 

Halloween (1978) -Jamie Lee Curtis stars in what might be the best movie she ever made–at least while screaming through the entire thing.    You will never forget Michael Myers as he truly epitomizes the ultimate zombie-like never can die bogeyman.

The Shining (1980)-Heeeeere’s Johnny!  If you want to see Jack Nicholson traipse around a haunted hotel wielding an axe while acting like a complete lunatic this might be the perfect movie to scare the bejesus out of you.  

The Exorcist (1973)-By today’s standards this movie might be considered to be tame.  With spinning heads, buckets of vomit and not so subtle religious undertones—well, this film is still pretty scary stuff. 

The Silence of The Lambs (1991)- You may not ever feel the same about your glass of Chianti after watching this psychological thriller but it’s a good one with quite a few jump right out of your skin scenes. 

Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)-Freddy Kruegger, who is one of the scariest claw clad horror freaks of all time goes after the children of the lynch mob that killed him.  Johnny Depp stars as one of his potential victims.  

The Amityville Horror (1978) -This horror movie is also based on a true story and the book by the same name.  An ordinary family moves into a not so ordinary house where some very frightening things begin to happen.  If you like movies where things go bump in the night—this ones for you.
