Halloween Masks

A Halloween mask is the fastest costume there is. Pull it on and you are done. The Base Warehouse stocks 18 masks from $2.50 to $21.99, weighted towards latex horror pieces that hold their shape year after year.

What is in the mask range

The horror end covers the faces everyone knows on sight: Freddy, Chucky, Saw with hood, Scream and evil hockey masks in both clean and bloody finishes. Latex pieces include skull, evil nun, mummy and zombie baby. There are also evil clown masks in bride and groom pairs, which work well when two people go together. Add a wig or a cape and you have a full costume without sewing a thing.

Latex or moulded, and how to make it comfortable

Full head latex masks give the best effect but they run hot and cut down what you can see, so they suit a party rather than a night of walking. A half mask or a hooded piece is the better call if you are out with kids. Store latex flat or lightly stuffed with paper rather than folded, and keep it out of direct sun, and it will last several seasons. If glasses are a problem, look at the hooded styles which sit further off the face.
