Official ‘Psycho Goreman’ Halloween Mask on the Way from Trick or Treat Studios! [Image]
We’ve been previewing this year’s upcoming new arrivals from Trick or Treat Studios the past couple weeks now, and today we’ve got our first look at their Psycho Goreman mask!
Arriving this Halloween season, the officially licensed mask depicts the title character from Steven Kostanski’s horror-comedy, an alien monster who wants to be your new best friend.
Matthew Ninaber played the part of the surprisingly lovable Psycho Goreman (“PG” for short) in the movie, and this Halloween, you’ll be able to become the Goreman yourself.
Check out your first look at the upcoming Halloween mask below!
Psycho Goreman was featured in Bloody Disgusting’s list of the 10 Best Horror Movie and TV Monsters of 2021, selected by Meagan Navarro. Meagan wrote, “The eponymous alien conqueror imprisoned on Earth meets his match when a sociopathic child unearths then subjugates him. But his awakening alerts the intergalactic council that locked him away in the first place, putting a bounty on his head. That means that Steven Kostanski introduces a slew of distinct alien killers to pit against PG, including his former army, the Paladins of Obsidian. But it’s PG’s personality and gory punishments that stand out above the rest.”
