Trick or Treat Studios Shows Off Leatherface “Grandma” Mask for Halloween 2017
Sometimes, Leatherface just wants to be a loving grandma.
In the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Leatherface wears three different masks: “Killing Mask,” “Old Lady Mask” (aka “Grandma Mask”), and “Pretty Woman Mask.” The late Gunnar “Leatherface” Hansen once explained the meaning behind each of the masks:
The reason [Leatherface] wore a mask, according to Tobe and Kim, was that the mask really determined his personality. Who he wanted to be that day determined what mask he put on. So when Drayton comes home with Sally, Leatherface is wearing the ‘Old Lady Mask’ and he’s wearing an apron and carrying a wooden spoon, he wants to be domestic, helpful in the kitchen. At dinner he wears a different face, the ‘Pretty Woman,’ which has makeup.
The “Killing Mask,” of course, is the one Leatherface wears when he… kills.
As we announced back in October, Trick or Treat Studios acquired the rights to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise for Halloween 2017, and they’ll be releasing masks based on each of the films. At the time, we shared with you sneak previews of the “Killing Mask,” “Pretty Woman Mask,” and Grandpa mask, and now the company just showed off their “Grandma Mask.”
The mask was sculpted by Connor Deless. Check it out below.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
