Day 25 brings some more masks from Tony Gardner’s Alterian Studios/Ghost Factory. With a nod that the design was specifically tailored to the desires of gorehounds, these masks upped the blood quotient for Gardner’s masks by 700%…
This ad comes from issue #117 of Fangoria, first published in 1992, and was still beating the drum for a little under appreciated superhero horror hybrid movie called Darkman. If there was ever a film ripe for mask merchandise it has to be Darkman, what with all of the mask making in the actual film. It was also an opportunity for an enterprising company like Gardner’s to produce a Bruce Campbell Final Shemp mask, though I doubt they ever did. If nothing else I really dig how playful Gardner and crew get with the infusion of gore. I love the Dinosaur and Brainstorm masks…
Anyway, come back tomorrow for more mask tomfoolery, and if you’re looking for a ton of Halloween content all through the month of October, make sure to stop on by the official Countdown to Halloween site and check out the list of participating blogs for 2011. You’ll be glad you did!
