Legendary mask-makers The Devil's Workshop recently released a Halloween mask based on the "Gayle House Ghoul," a character that appeared in a comic book ad for one of those horror records with "spooky sound effects." (The horror record is still available for purchase through The House of the Unusual.) Though The Devil's Workshop previously released a higher quality Gayle House Ghoul mask, this particular one is a $20 version made to look like a vintage mail-order mask. From its cheap elastic band to its overpowering latex scent, this Halloween mask just reeks (literally) of dime-store nostalgia. And I am NOT kidding about the latex smell-- it stayed on my hands and face for days afterwards, of course that's all part of the fun. Although The Devil's Workshop's website has some pictures of the mask, I've uploaded my own because their photos make the mask look grayish, when it is actually very blue in color.
Your's truly.
