Psycho clown mask pvc with bloody grin women and men

A shiny clown face with a bloody grin that extends over the cheeks: that is the image created by the plastic psycho clown mask. It is a half-mask made of plastic that covers the forehead, nose, and mouth while leaving the eyes free, with an ochre-brown to rust-brown paint job and dark red drip marks. Men and women wear it for Halloween, a spooky evening, or a horror-themed party.

• The mask is made of 100% PVC, a hard plastic that retains its shape and can simply be wiped clean after the party.
• The base color is ochre-brown with white highlights and a high-gloss finish, making the face look wet and clammy.
• Around the mouth is a wide red grin with a row of grey-white teeth, with thin streaks of blood running down towards the chin below it.
• The eyes are cut out, so your own eyes and eyebrows remain visible and the face becomes extra sinister.
• The mask covers the face down to just below the mouth and leaves your neck and hair free.

Why is a grinning clown so scary on Halloween?

The horror clown works because it gives off two contradictory signals at the same time: a smiling face that promises cheerfulness, combined with blood and a fixed stare. That contrast has made the figure a staple at spooky parties and in horror stories for decades. This particular one opts not for the classic white clown face with a red ball on the nose, but for a dirty-looking, shiny skin with cracks and traces of blood. This makes it lean more towards zombie horror than towards the circus.

How to wear the psycho clown mask at a party

Because the mask leaves your eyes free, you can walk around with it all evening and still see what is happening around you, which is handy at a busy party or during a trick-or-treating tour. Throw a black hoodie with the hood up over it for a plain, menacing look, or go for a checkered clown costume with pom-poms for a bolder combination. A blonde or colored wig with messy pigtails completes the clown look. Dark eyeshadow around your own eyes enhances the effect of the cut-out eye holes.
