This Incredible New Pennywise Halloween Mask Will Break the Bank
No really. It’s nearly $1,000.
If you’re looking to be Pennywise for Halloween this year, you’ll find several different costumes out there to choose from. They all include masks that leave much to be desired, which is probably why HalloweenCostumes.com decided to step in and offer up something a bit more high quality to fans of the 1990 mini-series.
A new deluxe edition Pennywise mask they just released is as movie-quality as Halloween masks can possibly get. The 100% movie-grade silicone whole-head mask has red synthetic hair attached to it, providing you with everything you need to transform into Pennywise and terrify everyone in town this Halloween.
Crafted from 100% movie-grade silicone, the whole-head mask recreates Pennywise’s sinister visage. Incorporating the demonic entity’s key features like bright red hair, matching nose, and contemptuous frown, the frightening mask has the power to transform wearers into a horror movie legend.
“Even though the remake is coming out this year, we went with the classic Tim Curry version from the 1990 miniseries,” Halloween Costumes told us. “This was designed in collaboration with the Hollywood effects artists at Immortal Masks, and it has everything you’d expect from a high-end collectible silicone mask.”
The cost? $899. If you want quality, you’ve gotta pay for it!
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
