      Be warned...Trick or Treat masks NEVER look as good as their promo shots. I have that Lee Mummy and he's completely cross-eyed.

        ^Yeah, I figured there was some downgrade in quality, but THAT'S very disappointing.

          Oooh, The Reptile--one of my favorites!

          I'm surprised they didn't do Curse of the Werewolf.

            You always have to remember that it may seem expensive to our 1970s sensibilities, but these are really budget mass produced masks, and will never look like their catalogue photos. It's really amazing these exist in today's market at all.

            I have two of their Creepshow masks, and for the price, they are fantastic. A custom mask maker certainly could do much better, but again, for a licensed, mass produced mask, I was impressed.

            I'm also very impressed with their Gremlins puppet. I have the standard evil Gremlin, and he's a hoot.

              I'm afraid I have to disagree. I don't think $60 plus shipping is all that budget for a piece of rubber. Trick or Treat's quality is all over the place. Some of them are beautiful in hand, and others are really, REALLY bad. My Clash of the Titans Calibos was so bad it went in the trash after I spent hours trying to fix the hair. I currently own Darkman, They Live, Dark Night of the Scarecrow, EC Swamp Zombie, Nate from Creepshow...all are gorgeous. Then I had Calibos, two Phantom of the Operas, Creepy and Eerie, which were terrible beyond belief, and my Mummy which as I said, is cross-eyed. So they're about 50/50. My bad quality masks totaled $360. Nothing budget about that...that's a lot of money.

                Yes, that can add up to a bit of bread. Unfortunately, I guess you're paying for the licensing, right?

                You think it's mostly the hair that is most problematic? Have you done any repaints on them?

                  A lot of it seems to be the hair. My Phantoms both had a large swath of glue across the top of the head where no hair was applied and the glue had already turned brown. Creepy and Eerie had the same issue as well as cracked and peeling gloss on the mouths from the masks being wadded up and shoved into a tiny box for shipping...and they were ordered directly from ToT.

                    Speaking as a make-up hobbyist, that's just sloppy hairwork, it's not that hard to lay crepe carefully.

                    And these should be shipped in large boxes on wig stands IMO.

                      Yeah, the Don Post masks from the 60s weren't cheap in their day and in 2020 money the 1965 $34 Dracula mask would be around $275.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        Amazing masks.

                        The Dawn of the Dead ones are perfect.
