Horror Masks Change The Face of Pandemic Safety & Social Duty

Published

Public safety has been the top priority when it comes to deciding whether or not the country should re-open. Specifically, face masks* are a hot commodity, artists working overtime to create a fun and colorful alternative to medical-grade blue.

As with any fashion trend, even a mandatory one, style is the key ingredient. So we went on a hunt through Etsy and beyond to discover some of the best horror-themed masks we could find and needless to say we found a lot.

Although some stylized masks are not approved for use by medical officials, wearing one in public shows your sense of social responsibility as well as your taste in pop culture. They are almost like concert tees when it comes to connecting with fellow fans.

We found these examples of coverings. Some taken from horror movies, others limited only to one’s imagination. Some of these are traditional face masks, while others are more like buffs that have a range of coverage.

Additionally, we came across a lot of designs that were run through a personalization app. These companies upload pictures onto fabric. Vendors then sell them through their personal market.  We included those only because some people will pay for convenience.

Leather Fun

This mask from UchronicTime might as well be called “SteamPumkin.” It’s a bit pricey ($104.90) and more of a costume, but it will do the trick while giving the public a treat before Halloween.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
