Check out my Distortions Mask Collection! 28 masks!

[Spinal Remains]

So iv been a fan of Distortions for years & have collected some of their masks, i also really enjoyed the show they did called "Making Monsters" which aired in October 2011-2013 for 3 Seasons, i even burned my own DVDs of the show to watch every October 



If you don't know anything about them here's a little backstory on Distortions & its owner Ed Edmunds from his website:
"Hidden in an industrial warehouse in Greeley, Colorado. Distortions Unlimited’s owners, Ed and Marsha Edmunds, and their talented crew make monsters. Their quality props, masks and creations have been a mainstay of the dark amusement industry since 1978. Long creative hours are spent in gray-walled offices with brain-eating hunchbacks, wall-scaling zombies and docile 3-foot tall aliens. The working environment looks more like a nightmare factory than a place of business, and was recently featured on the reality show “Making Monsters” that aired on The Travel Channel. As a child and fan of television shows such as The Outer Limits, The Time Machine and the original Star Trek, Ed enjoyed creating masks and putting on performances as monster characters. Continued experiments with makeup turned his artistic hobby into a true talent at a young age, and among other stage makeup and prop work, he started his mask-making operation, Distortions Unlimited, while still in high school. Through college, Ed developed his company’s products, sculpting a severed finger, molding bloody hands and becoming one of the first in the industry to sculpt cut-off arms."

Ooooo, a mega-post about Distortions! 'No better way to kick off "the Halloween of spring".
Thanks for all the pics and text, love it all. I wonder if there's more back story on
"Ernest Wellman". Was he an inmate at that now abandoned prison?

I still have two of the characters shown in your images but I was a major Distortions addict
back in the 1980s. Most of my vintage D.U. masks have been discussed in jupiter2's
"Collection Corner" here in the M&B forum, plus I just unearthed an early group shot depicting
all my Distortions stuff as of 1983 >

Love the zeezoid as well as all the other 80s masks, amazing!

My friends and I had tons of the 80s gore stuff gowing up.

I ... uhh... err... think you posted these last few previously but what the heck: always fun seeing
old masks/props in such fine condition with their original finishes. Distortions corpses are among
the sickest and scariest.
