FunTranscript
00:00Yeah, I heard the bad news too. Halloween's all over. Is that why you're long in the face?
00:04Here's your spooky spawn, the Spirit Halloween Screams 25th Anniversary Ghostface Mask.
00:08You scream, I scream. We all scream for the officially licensed Ghostface 25th Anniversary Mask.
00:31Rep your favorite slasher and style this Halloween season. Happy 25th birthday, Ghostface.
00:36While I think that Sydney would have been contentious to hand out candy this past Halloween season,
00:40Ghostface was in the meantime handing out fatalities.
00:42Not that I would have been handing out fatalities, but I didn't end up wearing this mask actually on trick-or-treating night to hand out candy or to go door-to-door with my daughter.
00:49I did grab this, though, at my local Spirit Halloween. You can see that this was the card that was attached to the top of the mask.
00:54Unfortunately, though, it was attached by ties, and the ties are located on either side of the mask.
00:58I think I've done a good enough job of cutting them off, but I think there's still just a tag that's loose.
01:03I'll show you guys where that is in a second. Not that anybody, I'm sure, really cares.
01:06This was, though, the card. It's a Spirit Halloween exclusive. It's 25th Anniversary Ghostface Mask.
01:11It's for ages 15 and up. And then on the back of this, I can show you, though, it cost me $24.99.
01:17Now, I will say, I did have a coupon at the time that I bought this, so I did save myself a little bit of money.
01:22Warning! Do not wear this while operating a moving vehicle, as vision may be obstructed.
01:26I think that kind of goes without saying. What little you can actually see through the peanut-shaped eyes is a little on the more distorted side.
01:34So, yes, don't be driving around the city streets, especially late at night, wearing a ghost face mask.
01:39You're, first of all, going to be freaking out all the parents as you're driving by, looking over the sidewalks at them.
01:44But, yeah, this would certainly not be a mask you want to be wearing.
01:47It isn't, though, a complete mask in the sense that, obviously, it doesn't have the rest of the cloak that you would wear with that.
01:52So, if you do choose that, if you had chosen, for example, to get this one for trick-or-treating, you would have still had to get yourself the cloak.
01:59This is solely just the mask, but it is, though, the hood.
02:02Now, I know when it comes to Spirit Halloweens, and especially ghost face masks, I mean, they're a dime a dozen.
02:07You can go into a store, if they're still available. I know right now they'll probably be marking these all down.
02:11There's usually at least a handful of ghost face masks.
02:14And which one, I always think, is the hardest one to choose?
02:17Because, again, you can get ones that look really good in shape.
02:19There's other ones where you can really see straight through, and you can see the eyes of the person wearing the mask underneath.
02:24And then some of them actually don't have a really good hood at all.
02:26This one actually was the best of all of them.
02:29Yes, again, while it doesn't have necessarily the whole cloak, if you ever want to decide to display this, though, on a bus, which I currently have right now,
02:35I think this is the best mask to go with.
02:38And generally, if you reach out and you speak to other fans of the fandom,
02:41they'll also usually say the go-to mask to have on display is the 25th anniversary mask.
02:45The one that's notable, though, about the 25th anniversary is that it does also have the glitter material for the cloak.
02:51So you can see, like, there's the tie right there.
02:53I'm going to see if I can maybe get my finger behind that and fish that out.
02:56But this is actually a glitter material.
02:58When you tend to get ghost face masks, they usually are more of a matte plaster or matte fabric.
03:03They're not usually a sparkle material like this.
03:05So I do actually like that they've done this.
03:07The mask itself, like right now, I've got displayed just on a bus because it's just the easiest way to show you guys.
03:12I'll take this off, though, in a second.
03:14Now, again, this is available through either in stores or online.
03:17The thing that's also kind of interesting about the 25th anniversary mask is it's also marketed by having a scent.
03:23I took this, and when I got this out, I didn't even notice this in the store.
03:27When I got it out of the bag at home, I was, like, smelling.
03:29I'm like, what's that smell?
03:31It smells like candy.
03:33Realizing, though, later that the mask does actually have a vanilla scent to it.
03:37Even it is advertised that way.
03:38I don't really think it necessarily needed to have a scented smell to it.
03:42But leaving just off of the vanilla, I think, would have been fine.
03:45The mask itself sells on its own.
03:47I don't think you need to slap it on a vanilla scent to gravitate the people towards buying this mask.
03:52Like I said, though, right now I've got the mask on my bust.
03:55I'm just going to take this actually off the bust right now.
03:58I don't tend to use this one just because it's just such a large size.
04:00But because it does have at least partial shoulders, it makes for an ideal.
04:04Now, I think I might still see if I can buy a larger bust that's going to have wider shoulders.
04:08Because with the way that the mask is sort of designed, it does have the additional end,
04:12well, the additional part of the hood that's going to drape over, essentially, the shoulders.
04:16With not having wide shoulders like this, I can tell you, though, my shoulders are a little bit wider.
04:20They are, yeah.
04:21They're a little bit wider than the mannequins here.
04:24So this would probably fit a person's body a little bit better than what it's doing with the bust.
04:28The mask itself is a good quality.
04:31And again, some of the things that really kind of turn me away from Ghostface masks just in general
04:35is that a lot of times you can actually see the eye straight through it.
04:37Usually what they'll do is they'll add a mesh here,
04:39and then you'll have very obvious thinner mesh areas where you can see through the eyes.
04:44This one does a pretty good job where you can't see any person's eyes through this.
04:48Now, I've worn the mask a couple of times.
04:49I freaked out my daughter, but she thought it was a pretty cool looking mask.
04:52But no, you can't really see the eyes straight through it.
04:54The nose is all painted here in black plastic.
04:56Or actually, really, I should say, like, this mask is all molded here in white plastic.
05:00And then they've gone and painted the elongated mouth here in all black.
05:04And they've also painted the nostrils.
05:05It's a really nice looking mask, though.
05:07The way that you wear it, though, and you'll also see there's quite a lot of baggage on the back
05:12when it comes to the back of the hood.
05:13We flip this upside down just to kind of show you what the inside of this looks like.
05:18Kind of hard to get in there.
05:19But what it really is, though, it's just basically the mask inside.
05:23And then there's an elastic band.
05:25So if you see straight through it, if I get the mask actually towards the camera.
05:30So I'm going to lift this up.
05:31You may be able to see.
05:33There's my hand behind it.
05:35Vision, I think, is still good.
05:36But late at night and when it's really pitch black, you probably, again, have a hard time seeing anything.
05:41You probably wouldn't be able to see the person's hand as you're mowing down the road.
05:44Don't be going fast speeds, by the way, on trick-or-treating night.
05:46But you can at least still see there's visibility through the mask of the holes.
05:52The mask holes are loosely glued on.
05:55I mean, they don't really add for much allotment here for additional material.
05:59So you really want to, again, be careful that this doesn't get punctured.
06:02Because, again, first of all, the mesh is really thin.
06:04And they don't really have too much of it actually occupying the back of the mask.
06:08The mask, again, just essentially clips, kind of just stretches over top of your existing head.
06:12Because, again, like this bust, the head is weirdly shaped.
06:17I've never really liked this one.
06:18I actually ordered this one on Amazon.
06:20But you kind of see the way they designed the head.
06:22It sticks out really high up here.
06:24And there's not enough ears.
06:26So I really think I'm going to try to find myself a bust that has wider ears so that the mask will fit over top of it comfortably.
06:33There is still breathing.
06:34So, luckily, you'll still be able to breathe out the mask.
06:37The mask material, again, is a good, decent, kind of a rubbery material, obviously.
06:41And you can also see the way that they've stitched the interior of this to attach, of course, the main hood piece over top of that.
06:47So this is basically, again, just how you're going to be wearing it.
06:49It looks, I know, really strange to be seeing the back of the mask like this.
06:52But essentially, it's just going to go over top of you.
06:54Or it's going to go over top of a bust just with an elastic strap.
06:58We bring the mask, though, back around to the way it was before.
07:00Or, again, I do really like that the material is more of a glitter material rather than, you know, again, just a matte material.
07:08What they've also done, too, and this is a hard thing when it comes to buying ghost face masks, too, is that you generally don't get ones that actually have a hood.
07:15A lot of times what it is, it's usually just the straps, the fabric on the side.
07:19With the whole idea is that you're also going to be wearing a hood from the main outfit.
07:22So you would have to then buy a mask.
07:24Or you'd usually just buy a complete outfit for ghost face that would have the mask.
07:27And it would have a hood that goes over top of it.
07:29This doesn't so much have a separate hood.
07:31But what they've done, though, is they've actually made it so the hood looks like it's a separate piece.
07:35So I hope that really does show well in the video.
07:39You can see sort of the way they've got this.
07:41They've got an overlap to the mask.
07:42So it does kind of replicate nicely the idea that it's actually got a hood when it really doesn't.
07:47There is one area, though, where the mask hood goes kind of tucked in like this.
07:51And it is stitched in.
07:53I'm almost even tempted to kind of loosen up the seam.
07:56But I think I'm only going to just ultimately ruin the look of the hood.
07:58So I'm going to leave it the way that it is.
08:00This interior, though, part of the hood is actually more, again, that matte material where, again, you've got the glitter for all the rest of the remaining of it.
08:07There is quite a lot of end trail to it.
08:09So when you're wearing this, this would drape nicely over top of your shoulders and cover off a fair bit of real estate space.
08:15Again, you're not likely going to be wearing your regular clothing out and just wearing the ghost face mask.
08:19You're probably going to be completing look or had completed look clearly again because we're now already past the trick-or-treating and Halloween nights.
08:26It's so sad to think that we have to wait an entire year again before we're going to be able to go trick-or-treating or watch the spooky movies.
08:32Or, again, if you're like me, just watch spooky movies all year round.
08:35But the mask itself is a good quality.
08:37It does the things that it needs to do, certainly if you want to just have this more as a display piece now because you're not likely going to be wearing it.
08:44It has a complete hood.
08:45The hood, again, probably could have stuck out a little bit further.
08:48You know, again, I really like a ghost face mask, for example, that has a draping over hood.
08:52This drapes over, but it only drapes over just a little bit.
08:55It doesn't, again, it has that little area right here where it's sewn more together.
09:00I would have rather if it didn't have that.
09:01But it does at least have more of a finished-looking mask than some of the others that I've seen on the market.
09:06But having a hood like this, having so much extra material down below here where you can cover over, like the shoulders.
09:12I'm going to see here if I can actually get this over top of the beginning of the bust.
09:15The only thing, again, I think if you're going to be displaying this, if I just bring the bust a little bit closer towards me,
09:21if you're going to be displaying this, likely, though, you're going to be displaying this likely on a better-looking bust than what I've got right now.
09:27What I do like, though, is it does have mostly a finished-looking mask in the sense that you've got extra baggage,
09:33you've got extra material draping down like this.
09:35You've got a fully completed hood, which there are very few ghost face masks that actually do have a finished-looking hood.
09:42It's certainly something that would look good on a face.
09:44It would certainly look good, certainly, on a person's body also as well.
09:47And with the price that it is, I mean, $25.
09:50Granted, though, again, like it probably would have been $25 and then the tax on top of that.
09:54But because, again, I had a coupon, I saved a little bit of extra money.
09:57This would be one that every year, I would say this to myself and I probably say this to my kid as well.
10:02Well, Dad always really wants to get himself a ghost face mask.
10:04And every year, it seems to be the case that I pick up every other thing, but I never get myself a ghost face.
10:09This year, though, I said to myself, you know what?
10:11I'm going to make the dedicated plan to pick up a ghost face mask this year, this year.
10:15And this one was, again, one that I've seen several years in a row.
10:19I decided to finally pull the trigger and pick this up.
10:21For $25, again, you've got a good finished-looking mask that has a completed-looking hood.
10:26Yeah, the hood probably could have hung out just a little bit more.
10:28But for an ideal-looking ghost face mask to have on display, you're probably not going to be finding a better one like this.
10:33A custom one, maybe.
10:35But certainly from a retail level, a Spirit Halloween level, probably the best bet to get is the 25th anniversary release one here.
10:41Kind of a perfect time also to be looking at a ghost face mask with a recent drop of Scream 7 online.
10:46I actually do like the look of Scream 7.
10:48And I hope it does improve on some of the disappointing aspects that I didn't really like about Scream 5 and Scream 6.
10:53Plus, of course, it does bring back Sydney.
10:56Sydney.
10:57The mask itself, though, again, is a really good, overall good-looking Scream ghost face mask.
11:03There are ones that I could say, like, there are better-looking masks where I've seen them in stores where, like, the mask plastic looks thicker.
11:09It's not as much of a rubber, and it's more like a harder plastic.
11:12It has more of a better paint job to it.
11:14But what it doesn't have, though, that the 25th anniversary does, it does have a hood.
11:18Now, again, like, you can usually kind of choose for yourself.
11:21You can get the ones that have sort of the straps on the side that then require the hood.
11:25You can get a Scream face ghost face mask as a standalone, just the mask alone.
11:29And then get the completed rest of the outfit that's going to go over top of it.
11:32This, again, checks enough of the boxes where if you just want a complete ghost face mask,
11:36where you don't necessarily need all the rest of it.
11:39Get the 25th anniversary for the decent price.
11:41It's 25th anniversary, and it's $25.
11:43That's not bad at all.
11:44Now, it's pretty comfortable, too, that I've noticed also.
11:47I mean, it's going to fit over top of a person's body a lot better than it's fitting over the bust.
11:51What the bust doesn't have that hopefully you do have is better shoulders and a lot wider ones as well.
11:56Again, let me know in the comments down below if you guys have picked this one up for yourself.
12:00If you don't think, though, the 25th anniversary ghost face mask is the right fit for having on display,
12:05what do you think is the better ghost face mask?
12:07Let me know down below.
12:08If you guys, in the meantime, did enjoy this video, do it as well and throw it a like.
12:11If you guys want to stick around for more so, I hope so.
12:14We're going to be having some more spooky-related videos coming your way.
12:16Aren't we kind of wrapping up things for Halloween?
12:18No, we're not.
12:19No, we're not.
12:20We've still got some more content coming your way.
12:21So, as always, guys, thanks for watching.
12:23See you guys next time.
12:24We'll see you next time.
