12 Masks of Halloween
A Halloween advent calendar? Nearly! Geek Native has, for years, counted down 12 days to Halloween by sharing a mask daily.

The 12 Masks of Halloween: #9 Rat King

The 12 Masks of Halloween: #8 Murder Clown

The 12 Masks of Halloween: #7 the Dragon
Dubrovnik Art don’t say much about this creation. It’s called “Handmade” and has no other description but appears when you search their Etsy store for masks.
