His popularity rising with each passing Halloween season, Trick ‘r Treat‘s adorable pumpkin boy Sam has begun to cross over into the mainstream in a big way, single-handedly representing the holiday in a way that only Michael Myers previously had. Trick or Treat Studios unloaded all sorts of goodies based on Michael Dougherty’s anthology classic this year, including mask and unmasked Sam masks, a complete Sam costume, and even bitten/unbitten prop replica lollipops.
The so-called “Worm-Eyed Zombie” – portrayed by Ottaviano Dell’Acqua – made only a brief appearance in Lucio Fulci’s 1979 gore classic Zombie, but nevertheless has become the literal poster boy for the entire film – as well as one of the most iconic flesh-eaters in the history of horror cinema. Using numerous screenshots, Trick or Treat’s art director Justin Mabry faithfully recreated the look for this ghoulish mask, allowing you to become Fulci’s most memorable zombie.
Werewolf films simply don’t get better than John Landis’ An American Werewolf in London, which first howled at the moon back in 1981. The movie’s makeup effects are a particular highlight, and it was master artist Rick Baker who was responsible for everything from Jack’s undead makeup to the unforgettable transformation scene. Baker officially approved this mask depicting the titular werewolf, and also up for grabs from Trick or Treat are masks based on the Nightmare Demons.
Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that “American Horror Story” has given rise to some of the scariest small screen villains of all time. Last season’s Twisty the Clown is perhaps the most terrifying, and unquestionably one of the creepiest pop culture clowns of them all. This deluxe mask features a removable mouth guard and can be purchased either separately or as part of a full costume. An economy version of the mask is also available, as is the mouth guard by itself.
