12 Masks of Halloween: #7 Ice Lord Krampus
Christmas or Halloween? Technically, Krampus comes out at Christmas to punish little children who have behaved well enough. You can change that. Pick up this Ice Lord Krampus mask from Etsy and you can have the demon come out for Halloween and punish whomever he wants. Just leave me alone. Not sure I’d want to […]
12 Masks of Halloween: #6 Six-eyed Demon
This leather mask is a hundred quid cheaper than some of the paper mache masks featured this year. It’s half the prize of some of the ‘high art’ entries in the 12 Masks of Halloween. That’s right; this weavy wonder will set you back only £530. Created by Winter’s Edge this six-eyed demon has glowing […]
12 Masks of Halloween: #5 Steer Skull Mask
There’s something just right about wearing an ancient bone mask for Halloween. Perhaps, though, rather than actual bone a mask made from plaster and wire would be wiser. This Steer Skull Mask from Danni Lange looks like just the thing. Don’t be fooled by the simple elegance of the design; masks like this aren’t easy […]
12 Masks of Halloween: #4 Colourful Alligator
Fed up with Halloween costumes being drab? Fancy some fab instead? Pop over to Kolossos on Etsy and pick up this giant, pink, flowery alligator head instead. Catch: It’ll cost you about £625.

12 Masks of Halloween: #3 Velociraptor Dinosaur Mask
Those blow up T-Rex costumes have been all the rage this year. It’s too late to use them to be original this Halloween.

Like yesterday’s Nightmare Before Christmas mask, this dinosaur is created by Tentacle Studio and you can buy […]
12 Masks of Halloween: #2 Jack Skellington

12 Masks of Halloween: #1 Horned Raven Mask
The 12 Masks of Halloween is a Geek Native tradition. Just as some people use the 12 Days of Christmas as a countdown to that gift-giving holiday, we use the masks as a countdown to the celebration that’s become all about dressing up and spooking people. There are always some outrageous, interesting and downright expensive […]
Become the Tokyo Ghoul!
[This is me!] Fed up with tragically hip romantic angst of vampire stories? You might well go for the zombie alterntive with the anime of Tokyo Ghoul. Ripping chunks of flesh off people is far less poetic. One of the iconic images from the show is that of Ken Kaneki’s zipper mask. It covers an […]
12 Masks of Halloween: #12 Steampunk Mad Max
Show me more Cross steampunk with the sort of masks you might imagine worn by wild riders out in the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max. If you can then you might end up with something like the “The Sheerwood Bandit” from OcultoMasks on Etsy. Mask 12 means only one thing in the 12 Masks of […]
