The Crimson Ghost Mask Room (my collection)

[Crimson Ghost]

Rudy, did you ever finish the tiki bar and reef tank in the space?

Still building the bar, I incorporated my 400g reef tank into the back bar. It's going to be a long process. When you walk out of the mask room, you'll enter the tiki room. Hoping for progress over the next couple of months

CG, I know it's not monster related but sneak in a pic of it when it's complete. Cheers!

I love it.  I'm a mask junkie and a tiki freak.

Those reissue H3 masks were a huge let down, they were so far from the original it was sad. Nothing will ever be like the originals. Nobody has come close to replicating them to the way they were. I wish everyone could hold a original pumpkin or witch in their hands, they are amazing.

My understanding the Pumpkin was created specifically for Halloween 3, although the Witch was one already in the Don Post catalog.  An extra bonus for lovers of Don Post, is I understand the actual Don Post studios were included in some of the interior scenes for the Silver Shamrock factory.

You are correct sir!

The Witch was "Hagatha" in 1981 with a olive colored paint scheme. They Repainted her for the film and renamed her "Green Witch". You can see a couple of 81' Hags in my photos. The Hagatha did appear in the film though. She is in the trailer when the spider crawls out of the masks mouth, and in theSilver Shamrock commercial when the kids heads are bobbing back and forth- that's a Hahatha. That sequence was shot early and they used the 81 Witch for it. The factory scenes do show DPS. The 81 Hag is very scarce, I've seen less Hagathas then the really rare H3 Witches. To date we only know of 13 H3 Witches, and 11 Pumpkins. I run a H3 mask archive. Not many people know this, but a fourth mask was supposed to be in the lineup for the movie. I'm trying to find out what it was.


Here are my Hagathas:

Out of curiosity, do you know what clown mask was used when Michael Myers attacks his sister in the original Halloween film?

I think it could have been a Collegville. There are lots of replicas of that clown mask. I'm a huge Halloween fan, but never went over the top with the masks like so many guys do. One white mask is all I need, I dont get into all of those crazy variations and arguments out there.

Agreed. Probably the most over produced mask of all time.

This is the only known original paint/original hair Verne Langdon Zombie. He now is a permanent fixture in the Mask Room! I dont think I can ever top this find, it doesn't get any rarer then this. I am very excited (and overwhelmed) that this mask ended up in my hands.
(I posted him in another thread but wanted him here in my collection post as well)

Your collection just gets better and better.

The Don Post metal molds for the Hagatha Witch and Skull

[Gory Glenn]

This is all very overwhelming! Your collection is beyond what I would call the work of your typical collector. It really is the level of a professional museum. All you're missing are little name plates that give a description of what each mask is. I would love to be able to do something like this but no way do I have the financial resources to even try. Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing, your photos are the closest I'll ever come to viewing masks of this caliber.

Very interesting. I always assumed that mask molds were always plaster.
