Some kids were scared of her at first, but it was great fun,” writes one customer. Another shopper, who checked out lots of Star Wars masks on the market, reports, “This is the best of all the Star Wars electronic masks out right now. It doesn’t try to change your voice.

This mask is definitely worth every penny.”

This Jason hockey mask is a less-expensive — and scarier — option for Halloween. “I put my outfit together, and when my 13-year-old daughter saw me she screamed and started to cry.

He continues, “The mask fit great and I didn’t have a problem seeing through the eye cutouts or breathing through the mask.” Even shoppers who say they have large faces and heads reported that it fit comfortably. “I’m a big dude with a big head, and this mask fit me perfectly. Can’t beat the price either,” says one enthusiastic reviewer, who adds, “I paired this with the realistic machete knife prop and now I’m ready to roam the woods and scare the crap out of counselors at Camp Crystal Lake.”

This poodle-head costume is all that, so cool, as soon as I opened it I was in love. We all were cracking up because it’s so real looking — this mask is very high-quality, soft breathable material, easy to see out of as well as breathe. Buy it. You will be happy you did.” One shopper used the mask to take her costume to the next level: “Bought this mask, thinking it would pair perfectly with my hot-dog costume. And boyyyyyy, was I was right,” she says. “People either said, ‘How did you get your dog to stay so still?!’ or ‘That is what nightmares are made of.’ Both comments are wins in my book.”

“Great mask for the price,” writes one reviewer. “Thick rubber and roomy even for a large head. We had so much fun watching the reactions from people.” Another shopper says, “People go nuts for this thing.

Hundreds of customers say that this mask is a hit for Halloween parties and Renaissance fairs alike, thanks to its spooky look and high quality.

And terrifying! The price for the quality is even more amazing.” She explains that the mask is for her 12-year-old’s Halloween costume and that it “fits him perfectly. It can adjust to a variety of head shapes.” Some reviewers mention that the lenses are prone to fogging, and recommend that you stuff the beak in order to maintain the shape, but this doesn’t stop them from leaving five-star reviews. One such customer says that any fogging “goes away once you inhale again” and that overall the mask is “pretty easy to breathe in due to the ventilation holes in the bottom.”
