This colorful and cartoonish assortment of masks was made available exclusively through Morris Costumes in the early 90's. The majority of the masks pictured were designed by Dominick Alvarez and were originally created at Alvarez Wax, while the "Sutured" mask was a David Smith creation that would later appear in the Death Studios' line-up. Most of these were higher priced masks with decent quality. Many years ago I owned a copy of the "Sutured" and the Uncle Creepy inspired "Dreg" which were used in my yard displays and haunts for years. Both were over sized masks that were beautifully sculpted. However, the "Raganarok" mask was always my favorite of the group...
Check out the mask gallery on the AWM site for some nice production shots of many of these masks and more, like this one of the "Melting Man"...
