Glowing Eyes Apparition

In our 2019 ghost themed yard haunt we used two different apparition masks on our mannequins "as-is".

We thought for our 2024 haunt theme revisit that it would be cool if we lighted the eyes using specific color LEDs like we've done for some of our props in the past. While doing some online searches we stumbled upon "Cyberpunk" multicolor LED clear acrylic visors that were intriguing, especially for well under $20/pair.

Mask Wizard

Stumbled upon the Mask Wizard's Youtube Channel and found it a great source for finding out about Halloween masks and mask companies of interest. Over the past two decades, we have used numerous collector quality masks to make many of our haunt mannequins. Finding masks with the perfect aesthetic/style to fit a year's haunt theme is not always an easy task these days with the Halloween big-box stores tending to lean towards stocking quantity versus quality. We got a kick out of the fact that the Mask Wizard did some reviews of the apparition masks we used for our 2019 ghost themed haunt at the beginning of 2020. We thought they were great looking masks too when we found them online as well!
