I've enjoyed watching horror and sci-fi films since I was little,
and Halloween has been my favorite time of year ever since I can
remember. I've been seriously collecting masks for the past several
years, although I've bought and sold catalog and costume shop masks
for much longer. I love unique and older masks, and have recently
been very interested in the higher end masks such as ones sold by
Dr. Lady and Harry Inman. I've recently decided to focus on a
sub-collection of female monsters / women in horror; I've purchased
a few great pieces, but have a long way to go to have that ultimate
collection.

Star Trek Salt Vampire also known as Nancy.
From All Artistries. A brand new addition to the
collection. |

These masks were made in the mid 80's and purchased by me in 2001.
These are truly one of a kind pieces, as the mold has been broken
for all three. I must say they are my all-time favorites.
All three of these masks were sculpted in 1985 and '86 by Rob
Tharp. Rob wanted to try his hand at sculpting, though he'd always
been a painter. Some of the masks he sculpted during that time were
put into the Don Post product line, but these three didn't make it.
The one with the little figures on it was "too complicated." The
Face Hugger knockoff was "too disgusting," and it remains a mystery
as to why the upside down guy wasn't used, since he's rather cute. |

Witch, Albino Vampire (?..I'm not sure that's the name of this
piece), Mangler, and Smiley.

The threesome picture are 3 of the new masks I received today. The
mask on the left is Sandra Harrison from Blood of Dracula, David
Lady; in the center is Vampira, by D. Lady, and on the right is
Gargoyle, 1988, Nisi. For now, Vampira will be the centerpiece of
my women in horror collection, flanked by my other great female
pieces. I'm expecting the Unnamable bust by Harry Inman in October
or November, which will probably take her place in the center. |

pic 3: My collection of Universal Monsters. I'll be adding the
Metaluna Mutant to this group later on this week. I'm very
fortunate to have these shelves and masks immediately to my left at
work; perhaps my boss hopes their presence will stimulate my
creative juices!
pic 4: My small SW collection, all Don Post. I will soon be adding
Boba Fett and Stormtrooper helmets to the group. |

All but one are masks made by Hollywood Halloween, which is no
longer in business. The one exception is the dark mask on the far
right. It's by an unknown maskmaker, and looks like a latex version
of the character in Candyman. |
