Monster masks are face or head masks that turn your head into a creepy creature, with textured wrinkles, wounds, and grinning teeth. Within the masks category, this is the section for monstrous heads: zombies, werewolves, skulls, and horror clowns, rather than decorative eye masks. Whether you choose a model for women, men, or children, the amount of your head that needs to be covered will mainly determine which version is right for you.
Zombies, werewolves, skulls, or horror clowns: what type of monster are you looking for?
- Zombie masks make up the largest group, ranging from bloody faces with gaping wounds to a version with puncture wounds or a grey, curly-haired model that also covers the back of your head.
- Skull and skeleton masks range from a white example with bandage texture to a silver model with an iron look and a version with blue LED lighting in three modes.
- Werewolf and alien-like heads have a wide-open mouth with pointed teeth and cover the head, ears, and back of the head.
- Horror and scary figures are also available, such as a nun mask with a black hood, a plague doctor with a long beak, and a clown head with coloured ram horns.
Latex, PVC, hard plastic, or fabric: which monster mask should you choose?
The material has the biggest impact on how a mask fits and how scary it looks. Latex follows the shape of your head and keeps moulded wrinkles and veins sharp, so the texture remains lifelike, but such a head mask seals all around and is therefore warmer. Hard plastic such as PP and PVC holds its shape and can be wiped clean after the party, and these models fit loosely on your face with an elastic band or cord behind your head. Fabric masks fall like a thin hood over the head and neck and feature a printed monster print. Also consider how much you want to leave exposed: a half mask or a model that only covers the mouth and jaw allows you to talk, eat, and drink, while a full head mask with hair hides your entire head, including the back of your head. Some items come complete, such as a zombie nurse with a wig and head covering or a skull mask with gloves included, while others are sold separately without a costume.
Which monster mask is right for women, men, or a child?
Most of the models here are made for men and other adults, from heavily bloody zombie heads to latex head masks with hair. For women and unisex wearers, options include a white satanic mask with an inverted cross, a white latex zombie mask, and a villain head with green curly hair. If you are looking for a monster mask for a child, there is a smaller selection specifically for children, such as a zombie mask with dead eyes and a lab researcher version. The grimmest versions with open wounds are intended for older children and adults.
Complete a battered head with the rest of your horror look
A monster head looks best over dark, torn clothing, as this draws attention to the face. If you prefer an alien creature to an undead one, take a look at the alien mask, where the heads are elongated and bald instead of bloody. For an even rawer horror look with teeth and flesh, the cannibal mask is ready for you.
A monster mask for Halloween, a theme party, or carnival
Most monster heads come out for Halloween, at a scary evening at home, or at a horror party. They also work at a theme party or carnival, where one mask is enough to make you unrecognizable. A sturdy plastic model can also serve as decoration, for example on a table or in the hallway.
