The Mask List continues

So here we are discussing more of the best (and worst of masks), if you have a thought feel free to join in.  So here we go again.

YET ANOTHER DISHONORABLE MENTION
KICK ASS

Yes I LOVED the movie, and yes I get the joke that our hero has a pitiful uncool costume.  But come on, this is sad.  This is less super hero and more "Kermit the Ninja."  Someone call 911 and Project Runway.


NUMBER 8
JASON AND MICHAEL (A TIE)

It's only fitting really.  Both mad serial killers with a habit of killing young teens and making sequels.  Both took their masks on the fly and made the look their own.  One the one hand, both look very scary.  On the other, they really didn't work hard.  I mean grabbing the nearest mask is sort of lame, think of what they might have scared up.  Jason in an easter bunny mask?  Actually that might be more probable than the chances of a HOCKEY MASK in a SUMMER CAMP!  So they get nicked points for not have a good concept, but I'll give a few bonus points for Michael's mask which was based on a mask of William Shatner.






NUMBER SEVEN
THE MASK

You might think this would rate higher.  After all, put the mask on and suddenly you can do anything except make a decent sequel.  Well, the thing is once you put the mask on, it's all make up.  It's not really a mask at that point.  The real mask is shown below.  It's got a neat old timey feel, but isn't a knock out.  So it gets oodles of points for super magicalcalifragidoocious but loses points for splinters.

  1. I demand a recount. There's no way Jason and Michael Myers could be a tie. Jason didn't even have a mask until the third movie. At that point, somebody said "this whole series is a rip off of Halloween, why don't we copy the mask too?"

  2. Well if you are going to be that way, Jason wasn't even the killer in the first film, and Michael wasn't even in the third halloween. But for you John I'll do a recount, I'll even hang a few chads.
