I also plan to open up a small store to sell the occasional mask. I have a handful that I no longer have room for from my personal collection that need good homes. I also have a good stack of old mask catalogs that I'll be selling here too.

Weird and Wacky

1973 Collegeville Catalog

And now time for a little shameless self-promotion...
2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the Devil's Workshop. I seriously can't believe that it's been 20 years since I started the Devil's Workshop. To celebrate the milestone I'll be digging out some of the old molds as well and making some weird and wild variants. Each month will feature a 20th anniversary release. Stay tuned and check out the Devil's Workshop Instagram page in the next few days for the first release of the year! In addition, I'll be posting several 20th anniversary images and information here on the Monster Mask Blog throughout the year...

Morris Catalog Monday: Don Post Calendar Reissues
Happy Monday creeps, and welcome to Morris Catalog Monday
which features random scans from old Morris Costume catalogs. Hope you
all had a safe and festive New Year celebration. This is the first MCM post of
2016.
To kick off this new year, let's take a trip back to the 1999 Morris catalog which featured the Don Post Studios Calendar mask reissues. Seventeen years after their release, it's hard to quantify in words just how exciting these reissues were to mask collectors. But, needless to say, this had to be the biggest news that any monster mask collector could have hoped for in a lifetime. Below is the page as it appeared in the 1999 catalog...
The pieces depicted in the ad are among the most beautiful Calendar mask copies one could ever hope to see. When this promo ad ran, the actual masks were still being produced. Therefore, the masks pictured were a combination of prototypes and pieces from private collections. Most of these masks featured eye inserts (which were not present in the production versions of these masks) and all were painted and haired by the very best in the business. Here are some higher resolution scans of the masks...

Mask Tag Tuesday: Be Something Studios
Greetings Creeps and welcome to the second post in a new ongoing series entitled Mask Tag Tuesday.
Your ol' pal the Yellow Phantom has a serious stockpile of mask tags to
share and I'll be doing so periodically on Tuesdays. The eventual goal
is to create an archive similar to that of the Monster Mask Catalog Archive.
Please excuse the heavy watermarking, I do not want to see these used
to create reproduction tags that are passed off as originals.
Today's Mask Tag Tuesday features late 1980's/ early 90's Be Something Studios mask tags. This bold orange and black style tag was the standard for BSS masks for almost two decades. I have a good two dozen more of these that I'll eventually scan and share, but in the meantime enjoy these Unleashed Wickedness and Bone Apart tags...

Morris Catalog Monday: 1982 Mask Catalog
Happy Monday creeps, and welcome back to the ongoing series entitled Morris Catalog Monday which features random scans from old Morris Costume catalogs. Hope you all had a jolly Christmas weekend. This will be the last MCM post of 2015.
Most of the content of the 1982 Morris mask catalog has already been posted here, here, and here, but the cover is too cool to be left behind. So here it is in it's full glory adored with an illustration from Jim Lawrence...
