number 10
polite leader the purge in this world
for one night of the year every crime is
legal including murder and on the night
of the purge it seems there are a lot
more people out there who feel inclined
to kill rather than just looter to face
public property for the Sandin family
the smart thing to do is to hunker down
in their bomb shelter of a house however
when the doorbell rings they see a group
of perjures through their cameras the
leader politely request to come in and
to show the seriousness of his request
he removes his mask your home tells me
you’re a good folks just like us he’s
chilling the innocent smile lets the
audience know that he loves this night
more than a kid loves Halloween don’t
liver him by the aforementioned time
we’ll release the Beast on him and on
you number 9 the masked man hush
in this inventive and suspenseful film a
woman is stopped in her home in the
woods to make matters worse she’s deaf
and can only rely on visuals when trying
to keep the killer at bay in a moment of
desperation Mattie pens a message to the
killer letting him know that he can
still just walk away she hasn’t seen his
face and she won’t call the police
apparently amused the killer casually
removes his map making the point clear
that it doesn’t matter to him if she
sees him or not to this killer she’s
already dead you’ve seen it now haven’t
you
number 8 Sam trick-or-treat mmmmmm
throughout this Middaugh horror
anthology there’s one little character
tying them all together Sam the physical
embodiment of the spirit of Halloween
this child-sized goblin enjoys a good
scare spooky stories and of course candy
and you get one
with his face hidden beneath a burlap
sack for the majority of the film it’s
not until the final installment that
he’s finally exposed and while he may
look like a little kid from the outside
this is a face not even a mother could
love number seven
Tomas Simone the orphanage aka el senado
Iman after Laura buys and moves back to
the orphanage where she grew up her
young son Simone makes friends with a
boy named Tomas who may or may not be
real team but soon after Simone goes
missing what’s weird is where herself
begins to see the imaginary friend who
hides his face with a mask that’s why
she believes it’s her missing boy or the
ghost of a social worker son who drowned
her search finally leads her to a secret
basement where she finds a body which
she originally thinks or just hosts
belongs to Tomas but sadly when she
removes the mask she sees it’s actually
her son it’s a heartbreaking moment in
an otherwise chilling film number 6 lamb
mask you’re next
having dinner with your dysfunctional
families bad enough especially when they
could be your future in-laws but throw
murder into the mix and it’s a whole new
nightmare when mass killers begin to
pick off the feuding famine by one it
seems there’s no stopping them
oh and Aaron begins to fight back it
becomes clear that the attack wasn’t so
random after all with each killer hiding
behind a different animal mask it’s
finally revealed that the man in the
land mask is a hired assassin and the
younger davison brother is responsible
for the whole plot excuse me you say
that like it’s my fault
number 5 dr. Hannibal Lecter The Silence
of the Lambs having bargained his way
out of the Baltimore State Hospital and
into the care of the Memphis Police the
suave Hannibal the cannibal makes a bid
for freedom alerted by gunshot the
officers below rush to the fifth floor
and make a grisly discovery with
Hannibal escaped officer Boyle gutted
and officer Pembry horribly disfigured
they rush Pembry off of paramedics as
they initiate their hunt for Lecter
however on route to the hospital
the audience is given a glimpse of just
how far this cunning criminal is willing
to go to get free and the faces on
camera number four Michael Myers
Halloween five the revenge of Michael
Myers
talk about a one-track mind back at his
quest to kill off the remaining members
of his family
Michael sets off to finally kill his
niece Jamie having failed the previous
year the girl seeks refuge from her
crazed uncle in the Attic but when he
finds her the fact that he’s about to
kill his own flesh and blood seems to
hold him back let me see in a moment of
pity Michael takes off his mask and is
revealed to be crying suggesting that
he’s struggling with his inner demon and
perhaps even feeling remorse number
three Leatherface the Texas Chainsaw
Massacre few horror movie antagonists
are as viscerally framing as Leatherface
and he’s not hitting up the local
Walmart for a rubber mask he’ll take
yours as in your face that is in the
1974 classic while we get a load of the
rest of the family
we never get to see the mad butchers
actual face but in the 2003 remake we
finally get a glimpse of the chainsaw
wielding cannibal this classic horror
villain is so named because the leather
he uses for his mask so it’s safe to
assume that he needs to change the mask
semi frequently it’s while he’s sewing
himself a new leather face that he
briefly takes off his old mask in order
to dawn the fresher one
number two Billy Loomis and Stu mocker
scream surprise Sydney this classic 90s
horror flick from the great Wes Craven
leaves everyone guessing until the very
end in large part because of its
brilliant twist turns out it isn’t one
killer stocking Sidney Prescott and the
other teens of Woodsboro high school but
to the joke is that in horror films it’s
always the boyfriend but it never is
well in this self-aware scare fest it
actually is the catch is he’s been
working alongside his best friend under
the guise of ghosts pace together they
even take Billy’s death in a great twist
that helped set the standard for modern
war frequently imitated but never
duplicated this is the figurative
unmasking of the decade
let’s Madison you look like you’ve seen
a ghost number one Jason Voorhees Friday
the 13th part three one of the most
famous masks and the cinematic war
cannon belongs to one Jason Voorhees
however it wasn’t until the third
installment of the Friday the 13th
franchise that this mask was introduced
before that he just used the cloth sack
to hide his features following the
events of part two Jason is back to
finish off Chris Higgins donning the
hockey mask to conceal his deformed face
he hunts down Chris and her friends
ultimately it’s during a fight to the
death in the barn when Jason needs to
free himself from a rope that’s become
tangled around his neck that he unmasked
and reveals his deformed face do you
