Movie Mold VS Mask on a Stunt Mold Cowl

 

This piece was recently produced by Nathan Stafford Studios from the Freddy vs Jason stunt mold. It was likely sculpted large to accomodate the burn suit underneath and any breathing gear the actor needed. It was at least used during the burn scene in the corn field.

Alice Cooper with Mysterious Part 5 Mask

 

Here's something you don't see much: Alice Cooper did a photo shoot with an unknown hockey mask. It has the basic paint job of a Part 6, but is clearly unfinished, having no snap holes drilled, no axe cut, and appears too narrow to be from the buck used in Part 6. It's possible that this is an unused mask from Part 5 that Reel FX had laying around in the shop. Oddly enough, the vent hole that sits over where the axe cut should be is out of place, so this might itself be a recast of any of the early masks. Alice also doesn't have any makeup on, so this was evidently an entirely different shoot from the one he did with C. J. Graham.

Friday the 13th Mask Shows Up on Pawn Stars

 

The mask appears to be a recast of one of the promotional masks made for Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood. The original promotional masks are seen below. So it's probably not worth much by itself. Richard Brooker has been gone a long time and apparently his signature can fetch some money these days so the price quoted might be reasonable. It seems weirdly high to me but I'm not an autograph collector. The $6,500 ask was wild!

Here's a shot of the promotional masks made by the MMI in 1988. You can see that the Pawn Stars mask has the same distinctive cheek cut, which is not accurate to the hero mask.

My Part 8 Mask (Slightly Updated)

Every so often I make some minor modifications to my own masks that only I care about. So here it is! I recently trimmed a bit of the perimeter off my part 8 mask so that it's a little closer to the movie mask.

While my mask is accurate to what I remember when I saw it in person, I've been tempted to just sand it down and repaint the whole thing now that we have these astonishing Prop Store photos to use as reference. Your memory only goes so far. I didn't even realize, for example, that the straps are brown, rather than black until I saw the recent auction photos, or that the black weathering looks a little cloudier on the movie mask.
