Suggestion: Murderous Mask

Go To

What about this composite of one of the deadly masks from Halloween III: Season of the Witch? The way the wearer is clutching it in vain to take it off should make it clear that it's the mask itself that is harmful.

Opened. If we can get another panel showing that person holding the mask, or about to put it on, that might work better than the first panel.

You mean just having a pic of him put it on, then one of him lying on the ground? That would be worse. It works as-is, although maybe not the best image out there.

I would definitely have guessed "pumpkin-headed monster" before "mask".

You've all explained what I'm supposed to be looking at and I still can't understand what it is I'm seeing. Definite [tdown] for me

Here's one with an additional panel to clear up confusion. That's getting a bit long though, so hopefully someone has another suggestion.

[up] I think you need to find either an image of the person putting on the pumpkin or one of the pumpkin latching onto him. At the moment, it just looks like the pumpkin is the person's head (since it has a face).

Goddammit, I was hoping to find a good screenshot of the voodoo mask from Friday The13th The Series, since it produces a snake from its mouth and is thus a nice visual representation, but the one I found on Google Images unfortunately isn't that good. I'd take a screenshot myself if I had the ability, but I don't have the software.

[up][up][up] This just makes me more confused, because there's a kid wearing a pumpkin mask as well but their outfit doesn't match the dying guy's.

None of these look like masks, sorry.

Well, that sums the trope up in that it doesn't have to be magical.

11 is the best suggestion so far.

19 is OK for me here.

I like it captionless.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I'll go along with no caption.
