Nice pics! Not a lot of mystery, though, for the seasoned UMAer.

Fun read, but yeah, most of us here probably already know the origins of these masks. Still, bring on Part 2!

Great article!  Thanks for the rubber heads-up!

Avery interesting and informative post. It did bring back a lot of memories of the days when spending $35 for a rubber mask seemed impossible, and all we had were the photos in Famous Monsters to fuel our dreams.

I've told this story here before, but when I was maybe 8 or 10, visited Six Flags Over Mid-America with my family, and in the gift shop was what was probably a Don Post Wolf Man. I asked my dad to buy it for me, but he scoffed at the $50 price tag. A mere $312 in today's dollars!!

I was a deprived child, I tells ya'.

Thanks Sir - That was a very fun read. I love the photos of the beautiful artwork of Cathy and Rob Tharp.
