1984 Savage Eye Catalog

The 1984 Savage Eye catalog showcased two expanded line-ups. The deluxe 76 Line, which featured extended bibs and zipper backs, included the addition of the "Wolfman", "Crone", and "Pirate". In addition, the 60 Line doubled in size from the year prior from five to ten masks. This catalog also boasted much improved black and white photographs compared to the '83 catalog. many of these photos went up for auction during this past year. I will be posting several of them in the coming weeks. 

1989 Great Cover Up Catalog

Day two of the Great Cover Up catalog week features the 1989 catalog. The '89 line-up still consisted mainly of old Savage Eye and MAC (Mario Chiodo) pieces. While Mario parted ways with the GCU by '89,  Mr. Chiodo's work is still prevalent throughout the catalog.  1989 was also the year that GCU owner Bill Atcheson purchased interest in Don Post Studios. DPS did all development for TGC and DPS lines from '90 to '99. There are also early Jordu Schell creations in the line-up, including the "Demon", "Ogre", "Booger Man" and "Corpse" masks found on page 12.

Looking at the Blog Labels there has never been a post here on the Blood Curdling Blog of Monster Masks dedicated to the Savage Eye mask company, so this is a first here...

 The San Diego based Savage Eye was founded in the mid to late 70's by Charles Curtis. Curtis is credited for the introduction of long necks and bibs on his masks.  In addition, deluxe Savage Eye masks often contained zippers along the back of the necks. This catalog features a nice blend of characters ranging from the classic Universal Monsters, to mythological creatures, and presidential figures...
