Don Post Masks In TV & Movies

[marsattacks666]

I FREAKIN' knew Sinistre was up to NO GOOD! First he pretends to be the DON POST PHANTOM and THEN he pretends to be a convenience store customer BUT he's a thief. And hangs out with Pirates, Witch's and Savage Eye Dracula. Clearly a lost cause!

and others at Bert Wheeler Magic in Hollywood. They only
last for one glorious minute, starting at 14:33 ~

Amazing clip! Thanks for posting. There are a lot of killer masks in there, deluxe DP, a ton of classic 800s, Burman Frankenstein, even a few Topstones new the end. However, any idea what the mask is behind Tor?

[Dr.Terror]

Is that Larry Edmunds books?

It probably was, Dr Terror. Edmunds Cinema Bookstore was right next to
Wheeler Magic at the time. Bongo Wolf was a habitué there and I'd often
see him waddling around town with bags full of books. He had quite a
respectable library at home.

I can only make out that 800 line Phantom on the left, Josh.
The other one is lost in the shadows of times long past.

Maybe Lugosi Drac?

On YouTube, a series pilot titled "scared stiff" from 1971 with bob Denver shows some masks at the end of opening sequence at the start.  Looks like Carlisle and old vampire man? I don't know how to bring images over but someone else may.

Check out The Wild, Wild West Season 1, Episode 7 (The Night of the Glowing Corpse) for Don Post mask sightings.

At the 20 minute mark Jim West enters a haunted attraction at a carnival. We see a Metaluna MUtant mask and a couple of minutes later a Dracula and Hunchback. This episode aired October 29th, 1965.

I couldn't find any pics of these scenes online or I would have posted them.

Saw the MM on The Alfred Hitchcock Hour the other day. S2 E27 "The Sign of Satan"

It may look a lot like the "Metaluna Mutant" but I've heard that head
is a rejected xenomorph conceived for 1953's  It Came From Outer Space.

[Doh!]

Tor Johnson made an appearance in the original Mad Max. (Full disclosure: I'm pretty sure I first read that on the now defunct Halloween Mask Association forum):

It is. I forgot this thread was supposed to be DP masks. 

I called it a MM, because it looks more like that then the ICFOS alien and it was the obvious inspiration for the Mutant.

Yea, I was looking at that and was wondering what that was from.  I knew it wasn't the mutant.
