The Creature Has Arrived

The Creature From The Black Lagoon mask arrived today. Actually the 2nd mask we ordered for this additional mannequin. We had ordered a similar looking aquatic monster mask called "Gilbert" that was supposedly in stock when we placed the order from the actual mask studio along with the Creature hands. The hands showed up but not the mask. When we checked the status on the website, "Gilbert" had been backordered with the claim of shipping September 1st. Knowing there are supply chain issues across the board we weren't going to hold our breath that it would have shown up in time for Halloween, and preceded to look for another mask source since we already had the hands. Lord Grimley's Manor to the rescue! They had The Creature From The Black Lagoon mask in stock. We've bought masks and hands from Lord Grimley's Manor over the years, including the Frankenstein mask we're using in this year's haunt and the service has always been stellar. When and if "Gilbert" shows up, he'll be saved for use in a future haunt.
