(And it’s usually expressing “I’m going to kill you now.”) 1. It might only have black blobs for features, but it’s surprisingly expressive. Based loosely on Munch’s The Scream, and originally created by Fun World as a Halloween costume before Wes Craven nabbed it for Scream, it’s deceptively simple. It’s simple, striking, and kind of brilliant. GhostfaceĪs worn by: Various killers in the Scream franchise Read more: Friday the 13th – A Celebration of Roy Burns 2.

Until Jason X, when a spaceship’s medical computer accidentally rebuilds the serial killer using his machete as a template. Accessorizing it with a massive knife upped the fear factor, but the mask itself just wasn’t that scary. Jason first donned a hockey mask in Friday The 13th Part III, but that was basically just a piece of sporting equipment. It’s definitely a mask to strike terror into your enemies with. Look at it! It’s almost anatomically correct, but sort of distorted, and incredibly shiny. But the mask is so incredibly cool-looking that it’s hard not to wish that wasn’t true.
