The 12 Masks of Halloween: #6 The Cthulhu Alien

October 24, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I like this mask as a good option for Halloween because it’s also, at a glance, suitable for lots of LARPing. It’s a full head latex cover which makes it a costume mask and not just decoration and there’s no blood and gore here, no artificial fright, it’s just a mask of a creature. I […]

This public safety message was brought to you by… well, you don’t need to know the source of these warnings, the secret school clad in black oak or the high priest who controls it. You just need to know the importance of obedience. Do not poke the Deep Ones.

August 21, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment
