Phantom of the Opera showing the
audience of blank expressionless face
the hiding more sinister intention our

would surgically remove and give to his
disfigured daughter having caused the
car accident that disfigured his child
the insane father will go to any lengths
to give her a new face number 7 the wax
mask House of Wax
Lake what seemed like another typical
teen horror flick turned out to be a
surprisingly entertaining rock about a
group of teenagers trying to get to a
football game through a series of events
they all end up in a deserted town whose
main attraction the House of Wax
has a sinister past
and a disturbing secret while the
clueless teens try to figure out why the
wax figures seem all too real they’re
stopped by two brothers who’ve been
running this twisted wax museum
Vincent hides his disfigured face with
an expressionless wax mask as he kills
the innocent victims who are destined to
be the future stars of his museum number
six the animal masks you’re next
taking a cue from the classic wicker man
you’re next
takes innocent animal masks and it
transforms them into the stuff of
nightmares when a group of siblings and
their partners visit their country home
to celebrate their parents anniversary
just want you all to know how much it
means to us that you’re all here the
party is halted by a group of killers
that seem to be stalking the family
donning lamb Fox and Tiger masks the
killers are determined to use their
arsenal of weapons to take out the
family members one by one soon enough
however the hunters in the animal masks
become the hunted number 5 the sack mask
the orphanage
as a general rule every parent should be
wary of their children befriending
invisible kids especially if he says
they’re wearing sacks over their heads
this is what happens when Laura decides
to move her family into the now-defunct
and incredibly creepy orphanage she grew
up in Kappa Gamma yo quiero que hay que
todos okay Stamos Cosmin crocker-harris
we hold on desperately her adopted son
Simone befriends the ghostly Toma and
it’s all fun and games until Simone goes
missing a plot involving a previous
worker of the orphanage and the morbid
history of the building unfolds in
tragic waves but ghostly little Toma and
his sack mask remained the tortured
centerpiece of this horror drama ah
number four the green mask behind the
mask
the rise of Leslie Vernon while there
have been horror comedies in the past
behind the mask succeeds in creating
something utterly unique and mesmerizing
the main subject of the film being what
truly lives behind a killer’s mask this
mockumentary shows us the daily life and
intense preparation required to be a
masked slasher killer you got to find a
group who will all hang together a
little from column a little from column
B and one survivor girl will tie them
all together how do you create fear with
a mask and carefully time to power
outages he’ll run screaming back into
the house and start to panic that gives
me time to make my next move although
the movie satirizes the lifestyle of a
lonely copycat wanting to emulate his
masked heroes such as Jason Voorhees or
Michael Myers it’s so sadistic and yet
genius
Leslie Vernon ends up creating a
believable and terrifying persona and
equally disturbing and emotionless mask
number three the grinning masks the
purge any and all crime including murder
will be legal for 12 continuous hours
with a plot that resembles a political
thriller the filmmakers took the
backstory of a future America whose
government has approved an annual purge
and transformed it into a home invasion
survival horror film I know bad things
do happen tonight but we can afford
protection so we’ll be fine just like
always don’t worry okay
the purge allows all crime to be legal
including murder
for one night only although wealthier
households have added the ultimate in
security to keep purge supporters at bay
the sanded family nevertheless becomes
targets their attackers cannot be
prosecuted during the purge and
therefore do not need to hide their
faces this makes their grinning masks
even more terrifying as they are simply
used for theatricality and pure
intimidation we’ve gotten gussied up and
on those terrifying guises as we do
every year ready to violate annihilate
and cleanse our souls number two
Sam’s mask trick-or-treat communion

cult hit and the only thread that ties
all stories together is the mysterious
little trick or treater Sam a little Sam
an ordinary kid looking for candy on
Halloween wearing a now iconic burlap
back and armed with a deadly lollipops

more of the evil that is hiding behind
those button knives Halloween haters

masks The Strangers is Tamara here
