Reviews:

I really like the design of this mask, purchased for a particular situation that required a ghostly character to speak. The fine stretch fabric that the latex pieces are attached to makes a comfortable full-head hood, and it's surprisingly breathable. One of the latex pieces came away from the hood at one spot (not really surprising, given the amount of flexing we were doing) and a dot of hot glue fixed it quickly.
The mask works great and is of excellent quality. Anyone who is having trouble getting the jaw to move simply needs to adjust the mask. What you have to do is gently move the headpiece down while the mask is on, until the top ridge of the eye holes is nearly covering your eyes. Yes, it occludes your vision a bit, bit it's completely manageable. You know you're in the butter zone when your nose pops out from beneath the black mask cloth beneath the upper tooth ridge. Not only does it provide better breathing, but it also provides more leverage with the upper jaw piece when talking because you use it in conjunction with the foam pad at the lower jaw. A visual indicator is that when your mouth is closed, the upper and lower jaw of the mask will be touching, or nearly touching. That's when you've got it right. Now when you talk, even with slight jaw movements, the mask will match you perfectly. For me, the trade-off in slightly reduced visual clarity is well worth it in order to have a well animated mask. To hide your eyes, wear an old-fashioned black stocking over your head. Covers the eyes perfectly. If the nylon presses against your eyelids too much, use a pair of swimming goggles under the nylon. Totally comfortable and works like a charm.
We love Halloween. What we don't love is nearly passing out from masks that offer no circulation. Seriously, it happens. Zagone has always been one of our favorite mask manufacturers, especially masks with moving mouths like this one. The 'jaw' is secured to the larger head piece of the mask by black mesh, which not only allows a great deal of ventilation, but also allows the mouth to move. Awesome. And comfortable. The mesh continues over the neck and extends far enough that it is easily covered by a cloak or cape, making the complete costume easy to put together. In the correct light and with black makeup around the eyes, this mask is pretty believable and we have scared our share or trick-or-treaters with it.
