8 Scariest Horror Movie Masks

8.) Vincent's Wax Mask from House of Wax

At first glance you think this is just a normal man's face but if you look closely you realize it's not just a face... it's a wax mask! Poor Vincent and his brother, Bo, were Siamese twins separated at birth. Vincent was left physically disfigured and mentally deranged. As a child his parents would abuse him because he was so out of control. Vincent's mom was the owner of the town's House of Wax when he and his brother were children. When their parents died Vincent and Bo took over the wax museum. To hide his ugly face Vincent created a mask out of wax. I feel bad for the poor guy he was so ugly that he turned himself into a walking candle.


7.) Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th

Camp Crystal Lake was just a normal summer camp until one day a young boy named Jason drowned in the lake because the camp counselors were not paying any attention. Everyone thought that Jason had died in the lake, but his body was never actually found. The Camp Crystal Lake counselors started a rumor that Jason was still alive and living in the woods after 20 years. Little did they know he really was still alive and ready to kill anyone in his path. Moral of the story is always pay attention to your job at camp to prevent from creating a psychopath who lives in the woods, and enjoys stabbing people.

6.) The Strangers

The Strangers takes place at a deserted house in the woods with no civilization within miles. A couple goes to the house for the weekend, and they run out of cigarettes. So the guy goes to the store to get more leaving his girlfriend all alone in the house. It's pretty self explanatory what happens. The strangers in creepy masks break into the house. I don't particularly enjoy this movie, in fact I find it expected and cliche, but I have to admit the masks are terrifying! A+ to whoever designed those masks because I didn't sleep for a few days after watching this movie.

5.) Michael Myers from Halloween

Oh, Michael you really messed things up for yourself. I mean you killed your own sister when you were six...and let's face it that DOES NOT mean you are on the road to success. Michael Myers was admitted into a psychiatric hospital shortly after the murder of his sister. He escaped 15 years later and returned home to Haddonfield where he stole a white mask, and blue coveralls. On Halloween night he stalked and murdered teenage babysitters. At the end of the movie Michael is shot in the chest six times, and then he falls off of a two-story balcony. PLOT TWIST! Michael is still alive and then continues to be in 7 more sequels.

4.) Edgar Allan Poe Mask from The Following

Okay, I know this isn't from a horror movie BUT LOOK AT IT! That mask is seriously one of the scariest things I've ever seen in my life! I used to love Edgar Allan Poe and his work until I saw that horrifying thing. Now all I think of when I hear his name is that horrendous mask! Other than that I like The Following I recommend it to any horror fan. Okay I'm done now.

3.) Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs

Coming in on this list at #3 is Hannibal Lecter, a.k.a the classiest serial killer in all of movie history. This mask is not only creepy and adds to horror of the movie but it is essential. When you think about it this mask is to prevent him from biting into your face, and eating you. So let's take a moment and thank this mask for saving many faces from being attacked. So thank you creepy mask! Sincerely, Everyone.

2.) Leatherface from Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Landing his spot at #2 is the cleverly named, Leatherface. What can be more spine-chilling than a mask made of human flesh? Well obviously the mask that came in at number one on this list is...but that isn't the point! The point is this thing is really scary! We need to give Leatherface props for wearing that thing. Who knows how old that flesh is? It's bound to smell really bad. I mean REALLY bad.

1.) Pig Mask from Saw

Finally at #1 is the Pig Mask from Saw! This mask seriously gave me nightmares...and I don't get nightmares. I didn't find the other Jigsaw mask nearly as scary as this one. This mask was used very wisely though! It was used for the jump scenes when he pops out of dark closets and abducts people. I had heard that Saw wasn't scary it was just gross, so I put off seeing it for a long time. I finally watched it a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed it. Saw is actually the scariest movie I have seen in a while. All in all, this mask is #1 because it's a pig head. Pig heads are scary, especially when they jump out of dark closets.
