History: This is an item that was transferred from my personal collection to the Strange Ink Prop department. I picked this up a few years back at a renaissance festival, but you don’t have to suffer that kind of humiliation to get one of these. There are lots of places online that sell all different kinds of leather masks (regular or evil). Why did I buy an evil leather mask? Well, I can’t say for certain that it was evil when I purchased it. Perhaps it was the evil that drew me to it. I don’t know. Maybe it’s a half full/half empty thing. Maybe it’s a good mask if you want to see it as a good mask. Maybe this is saying more about me than it was supposed to. Let’s move on…
Application: There’s really only two uses for this: superhero or fantasy flick. It’s either concealing a hero’s secret identity or outwardly expressing the twisted inner psyche of some dark sorcerer. Although, I suppose we could use it in a romantic comedy that has a Halloween party scene where someone dresses up as a superhero or a dark sorcerer. Now that I think of it, we could use it if we were going to make a movie about my English teacher from High School. It looks just. Like. Her.
Value: Tough call. I don’t have the receipt and it’s been a few years. A mask of this size goes for anywhere from $15.00 to $40.00. I didn’t have to pay extra for the evil, but I can’t guarantee that you won’t.
