Not sure if this belongs here but i have these old masks, the kind that has the elastic around the back. They always came in a box with a plastic costume. I have never seen anything like these before so if you can help me id them that would be awesome!

Looks like some cheap vague knockoff superhero masks that were altered for copyright reasons. The man looks like it could have been Superman and the girl mask could have been ... well, anything.

Man those things take me right back to the 70s & elementary school!

I agree, they look like knockoffs because they couldn't get the rights to do Superman.

Ben Cooper or Collegeville or one of the other costume makers would put out a "Clown" costume that looked just enough like Bozo the Clown or a Frankenstein costume that didn't look like Karloff but not call it that so they wouldn't get sued.

Like this:

And in order to relive my childhood, I just bought 2 masks from that site!
