The Crimson Ghost Mask Room (my collection)

More like "Vault of Horror". 

Isn't 'horror' really just a synonym for 'dreams'?

Isn't 'horror' really just a synonym for 'dreams'?

That's what all my dreams consist of.

Hey guys! I've acquired some great pieces. A rare flesh colored Razooly that was only available in the first year (1981) after that they were painted red. In this group I also got a 1978 Gillis, 1981 Peter, 1985 Hooded Knight and 1986 Clara Voyant. All of these masks are practically brand new and tagged with their factory stuffing. I've never seen vintage masks in this condition, it's incredible like they were made yesterday.

This 1980 Don Post Pirate came from a friend's collection, this is a tough mask to find.

I haven't heard of most of these but they are in amazing condition. I like the Pete Lorre mask. Congrats!

I would drive hours and pay money to view this collection in a museum. Awesome.

Thank you Talbot64! I've been working away here at the Mask Room and I shot some updated photos. I've added some great pieces that I will post as well.

Thanks for taking a pic of yourself in the room-- it really gives one a sense of scale. Very impressive!

I am not a  mask guy myself-- I own only a few. But I never tire of looking at pics of your gorgeous collection!! Would love to see it in the flesh some day.

Best,

Matt

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy the photos! my wide angle lens stretches the room out a bit. It's much more fun to walk in their in person. If anyone ever travels to Chicago, I live in NW Indiana about an hour South of the city. You're welcome to come and check it out.

The masks I have been acquiring lately are freaks of nature lol, they are all crazy mint condition specimens. We've never seen pieces like this so new and fresh like they were made yesterday. Here is a 70's Coridian Alien, a 1983 Schizoid, and a rare 1983 Dracula. All Don Post, tagged with factory stuffing even. Just awesome pieces.

I picked up three very rare 70's Don Post masks. A Frankenstein 2001, it is in need of some major restoration help but the paint is beautiful..then a 70's Don Post Demon and a 70's Don Post Erik. They are all heading to California to get worked on by the great Dante Renta. I'll post photos when they return.

Hey CG! Nice scores! Where the heck are you finding these vintage DP masks in new mint condition?  Especially like the Chris Lee Dracula. Don't know if you saw my posts but I recently picked up a Carol Hicks Chris Lee Frankenstein and got my Glenn Strange Frankenstein back from Dr. Lady.

I have a dream that I walk into a Halloween shop now and all of these masks are all over the walls for sale at long ago prices. Then I wake before I can buy some, DAMNIT!

Are you attending the Don-Con? Maybe they'd want to show some of your rarities there....

Nice new additions over the past few weeks Rudy! I gotta get back out to your place to check out the new scenery. Maybe an October visit?
