Gmasking Latex Scary Octopus Adult Full Head Cthulhu Halloween Party Mask

I ordered this as part of a cosplay idea for a Doctor Who convention (Ood). It's not 100% same features as an ood, but it looks great. The product is easy to get on and off. It's a little difficult to see out the eye slots, but other than there are no issues.It does naturally have a scent, like rubber, but it doesn't bother me.

I will post pictures of my modified mask later when it is finished. I am using this to make a costume of an Ood from Doctor Who. I added red LED lights under the eyes and extra tentacles to the mouth area. I still have to paint it. The biggest problems with this mask are #1.) it is very hard to see out of. You will be looking out of the mouth or nostril holes, which are not very largeand will have to be enlarged or enhanced somehow #2) It is extremely hot. I expected this and had planned for a fan to blow air into the mask but the fan has to be small and located under the neck are of clothing. This means that whatever clothing you tuck the latex mask into, must have a wide enough neck to secure the fan in the right place and an accommodating pouch for the battery supply. I have not found proper fans yet. I already have the pouch in the costume set up for the lights for the eyes. Those seem to be working well. I will post pictures and updates when it is finished. Right now it looks "okay."I posted pictures of my modified mask above. The mask is already posted from other reviewers as it comes from Amazon. I added a few more tentacles using fishing line, caulking, glue and paint. You don't have to add tentacles. It is kind of a pain, but a little paint makes the features stand out better and adding red glowing eyes is a bonus. I have to paint the inside with a little extra latex or glue before enlarging the eye holes to be able to see out of it ant better.

Looks like an ood mask, just don't expect it to stay sturdy if you take it off and on a bunch. Mine ripped in the back!

Ok... it's less than a week before comic con.... Dr. Who is going to be a big theme at the event. What can I go as? How about an Ood! I was amazed at how detailed this mask was (yes, up close it's just a latex mask with holes cut out for you to breathe and see through). At a distance, it's just killer. I wore an outfit to match, and carried around a white styrofoam ball (do your Dr. Who research for why) all day. I had people left and right stopping me, wanting a picture with the Ood! The best part... you get to be a rock star, so to speak, and yet no one knows the true nerd inside! The only downside, was that it is very hot to wear, and a little smelly. I could only go for an hour or so at a time before I had to duck into a bathroom and take it off for a bit to cool down. I couldn't let anyone know who the Ood really was!

I recieved a very less detailed mask. Unlike the photo.

Its fun and cool. Good quality it seems. The only issue I have is it's a bit tight and hard to breathe through. I'm a pretty standard type guy and it's tight on my head.

The mask itself looks nice, but if you have sensitive airways, throat and skin I recommend avoiding this mask. The mask has very strong fumes off gassing inside while wearing it. My son wore it for 3 hours for a school project and within hours had a raw throat and asthma (and mildly irritated skin). The reaction progressed over the next couple of days and he ended up missing school and chasing asthma flare-ups. Might not bother many people, but if you have asthma and sensitive skin I wouldn't recommend it.

My kid was the talk of Mega Con this year and mainly it was due to this face!We had an absolute blast but I can tell you he was so hot he could not keep it on for long periods of time. I grabbed towels from the bathroom to wipe the sweat from the inside -I will be finding ways to get better air circulation in here , but in the meantime - I can honestly say that this was the best costume he has ever come up with on his own and he looked fantastic!

It's a basic latex mask at a fair price. Nothing fancy.
