A Sea Of Masks
As a kid, masks were mysterious wonderful things. I'd say something profound like they were a way to be someone/something else, but I don't think that was it. You'd see them in stores during the season, or in the back of magazines, or in the Bible of my youth - The Johnson Smith Catalogue (cause 'catalog' isn't good enough).
To see a mass of masks all in one place, well, that was a pretty amazing thing. And they always seemed to be way up high. Rows and rows of severed creature heads. Like the trophies of the world's finest monster-killer. And I can't say I ever wished to own or wear them...it was more like appreciating fine art. A rare art, since the only place you could find monsters was on Saturday afternoon tv or in a movie theater...or in those horror magazines those bad kids always had.
Later in life I discovered that latex masks will eventually decay and rot away. Had I known as a kid that all those rows of monsters had an expiration date, well, I think that would have made them even more mysterious and incredible.
Saw this photo over at the always-awesome Blood-Curdling Blog of Monster Masks and had to share it. When I saw it, my first thought was "Man, as a kid I would have dove into that and rolled around in all those beauties. Like a dog."
Which sorta makes all that art talk above kinda null and void.

The Witch Mummy
Saw this great old Mummy mask on the Monster Masks blog and it made me smile. This was the same mask my brother and I used on an old Flying Witch prop (previously blogged about here).
Click below to watch the video of our pulley-system Witch.
The good old days, originally filmed with a super 8mm camera.
The witch would be pulled all the way up to the top window. At night, it would be a dark shape against the bricks. Then, as people walked by below, my brother would release her and she'd glide down towards the sidewalk.
