I don't know much about the origins of these creepy little vintage cutouts. They were apparently made in the 1950's. There were a number of characters offered including a Devil, Skull, Owl, Witch, Black Cat, a Pipe Smoking Fellow, Jack o Lantern, Indian, and a furry creature of either the Gorilla or Werewolf variety.
There were metal grommets on the sides of these that create
some depth to the mask and provide a place to insert an elastic head
band. Each mask had a label containing the following text:
LUMINOUS
Glows in the Dark
after short exposure to light
Non-poisonous
MASKLITE
Made in the USA
