As many of you might have heard legendary wrester Markus Crane of Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) passed away at the age of 33. He was famously known as a deathmatch specialist and was beloved by fellow wrestlers and fans alike.
GCW’s release about Markus remembers him with kind words and loss “With Sadness, GCW mourns the loss of Markus Crane. As a performer, Markus embodied the spirit of GCW. He was an underdog and an outlaw. He was fearless in the ring and determined to succeed against the odds.”
His good friend and ring mask designer Adam Zigler was profoundly impacted by this and decided to create a replica mask in Markus’s honor. All profits to be donated to causes that Markus was supporting in his life.
Adam had this to say about Markus and the mask he originally designed for him to wrestle in.
“To say Markus Crane was one of my best friends would be an understatement. He was closer to me and had more of a positive impact on my life than nearly anyone I have ever known. After I finished SFX school and moved to Chicago in 2017, Markus was so excited to have me create custom ring-wear for him. He was always my biggest supporter and loudest cheerleader. The first mask he wanted was a mask inspired by a character from a video game he loved, but “more corpse-painty”. Markus always had a way with words. We always talked later of making copies of his mask he wore to the ring, which was originally casted in polyurethane resin so that way he could sell them to his fans, but we never were able to bring goal that to fruition.
The Dream Eater Wresting Mask
In December 2019, Markus lost consciousness while on the way home from wrestling a show on the West Coast and was placed in a medically induced coma. It was found that he had an infection that had made it’s way into the very bone of his skull, and even his brain. A part of his skull was removed, and through his strength and willpower was able to make an incredible physical and mental recovery. After having a metal plate surgically fused to his skull, Markus even fought his way back to the ring in April 2021 at an event in Tampa, Florida aptly titled “PLANET DEATH”. It was when he found out about getting to perform at Planet Death that he asked me to create a new version of his mask that would be easier to travel with. This new latex casting of the original mask is what he wore to the ring that day, and ultimately was what he wanted to have for his fans to purchase.
Markus spent a large portion of 2021 training for a full-time return to the ring. In November 2021, Markus moved to his hometown to focus on his continued physical recovery, as well as his newfound sobriety and he was doing an amazing job. Tragically however after complaining of a headache, Markus passed away in his sleep on December 26th, 2021.
I had a few messages after he passed asking if I would make copies of his mask for a few of his friends. It was on Wednesday, December 29th that I was riding in the car when I had the idea to make this possible for his friends and fans and not feel exploitive of my friend, but instead to do it in a way that I can honor Markus and create something good. It was at this exact moment of having this thought that I looked out the window of the car and saw I was passing “SWEET TOOTH DENTISTRY”. I am not in the slightest religious, far from it, but I don’t want ignore the synchronicity if my friend is giving a sign.
For every mask of Markus’ that I sell, I’ll be donating a percentage of the profits to a charity of my choosing, but will always be a charity that supports a cause that Markus would have believed in.
For 2022, the profits will go to the Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is a non-profit organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ teens and young adults. I am not affiliated with Trevor Project in any way, but I wholeheartedly believe in their mission and have researched them thoroughly. If you do not wish to purchase a mask but still want to support The Trevor Project, you can find more information and donate at thetrevorproject.org.”

Most Realistic Masks Used in Horror Movie Costumes
Gruesome, Terrifying Horror Movie Masks
The world of horror has brought a lot of truly disgusting, and terrifying masks out of the darkness. Some are latex and meant to quite literally be a Halloween mask. Other masks had other uses before they shielded the horror slasher’s mug! There are some masks which are better known than others, even world-renowned…and then there are some super niche horror movies with much less recognized masks. Still, there is no end to the creativity in Hollywood and in form of horror movie masks!
Terrifying, Gruesome, Realistic or Scary Horror Movie Masks
With the diverse variety of mask types available, horror movie killers can be seen with some sincerely creative masks. This list is ranked in order of scariest to tamest of the best masks used in horror movies.
Please note: Masks only. Paint doesn’t count. Makeup doesn’t count. It must be a covering part of the face with a physical object than can be removed to make the list!
Leatherface Mask
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre hosts one of the scariest horror movie slashers in the genre. Leatherface is a larger, beast-like killer and his mask may be just as scary as his stature and weapon. Leatherface makes his masks out of human flesh, so they are naturally one of the most terrifying of all the horror movie masks out there.
Buying a real Leatherface inspired mask (not real human flesh obviously) is pretty easy, but many are cheap. It is still possible, though, to buy a high quality Leatherface mask.
The Strangers Bag Head
The Strangers highlighted one of the most common cliches in the horror genre: protagonist stuck in the house, slashers trying to break in and terrorize. Only the Strangers did it all in one single house, throughout the entire movie. Most of the fear was psychological, but the small visual peeks at the killer are terrifying mostly due to the bag over his head.
It is possible to buy the Strangers Bag Head mask, a few places offer them. Some are authentic, others are knock offs and look-a-like bag masks. They are all pretty scary though!
Michael Myers
Almost everyone (fan or not) knows the face of Michael Myers. He is a ghost-white latex-faced killer with zero facial expression and the “blackest eyes.”
There are a wide variety of real Michael Myers masks available for sale. Like all costume, Halloween and horror movie masks, some are higher quality than others.
The Masquerade Mask
The masquerade mask has been used in a variety of horror movies. Some of the most notable include the Purge movies and Valentine (2001). The masquerade mask is naturally scary as it is meant to ‘blend the wearer into the crowd,’ made popular centuries ago. Parties around the world make use of the masquerade mask…making it a truly scary horror movie mask…as it typically represents an unknown killer!
Masquerade masks are obviously extremely accessible and easy to buy. It is possible to buy Purge-style Halloween masks (realistic replicas) as well as the authentic recreations of the Purge masks themselves.
Jason’s Hockey Mask
The Friday the 13thfranchise created one of the most iconic (and deadliest) killers of all time, Jason Voorhees. Jason’s Hockey mask is one of the only identifying features a victim sees before the machete.
Purchasing a Jason Voorhees style hockey mask is easy, as they are available to buy in all types of colors and qualities.
Jigsaw Mask
Saw’s John Kramer (aka Jigsaw) is a very intelligent horror movie killer. Although he does not typically show himself nearly as often as the other horror movie slashers…he most certainly shows off his Jigsaw doll. The Jigsaw doll is most memorable due to its mask. The Jigsaw doll sports a spooky clown-inspired white-faced mask with the red hypnotic spirals on the cheeks!
Some Jigsaw masks for sale are made of cheap PVC or plastic, while it is also possible to buy a high quality Jigsaw mask (even made of nice grade resin).
Ghostface Mask
The antagonist of the Scream franchise (no matter who the killer is), wears a long-mouthed ghost-like mask with a black hood. The mask is extremely identifiable and thus the character has infamously become known most commonly as “Ghostface.”
Ghostface is probably the most commonly purchased Halloween mask available and worn. It is also probably the easiest Halloween mask to buy, both in availability and price. Still, some are higher quality than others.
Buy the Best Halloween and Horror Movie Masks (and scariest)
If you are looking for a truly scary Halloween or horror movie mask, a lot of these masks, and similar Halloween masks are available to buy online. There is a super wide variety of extremely realistic Halloween masks out there. It’s important to be careful when purchasing masks outright, as many of them lack quality. The last thing a high quality Halloween or horror costume needs is a cheap mask. High quality masks mean better scares. Buying a realistic, high quality horror mask can absolutely complete a look.
Some masks are also considered horror movie props and are awesome collector’s items. Many horror fans collect masks (even those that were not featured in horror movies) for their intrinsic scare-based value, as well as their future monetary value. It has been proven that many of the higher quality masks become instant investments when properly cared for.
