    I found this gas mask on Amazon for what I considered pretty cheap. Any ideas on what to use it for?

    I find gas masks pretty creepy without much effort being made in a costume. The image below is a simple yet effective look. You could always go steampunk with it.

    For a gas mask, I think you'd almost have to use it in a zombie viral outbreak scenario.

    As for how to use it: If yours is a guided haunt, you could have the guide wear one. Then, perhaps for the final scene of the haunt, have the mask ripped off in a mock struggle with a zombie actor. Underneath the mask, the guide will already be wearing zombie make-up, and now he pretends to become zombified too and menaces his former guide group.

    Or something like that.

    This site has a couple gas masks that are cheap and every now and again they'll have a sale on them. Plus they have a lot of other neat stuff that could be re-purposed for Halloween.

    As for ideas to use a gas mask? Viral outbreak, Mad Max/Book of Eli kind of theme, Steam/Diesel punk, maybe a foreign/alien invader type situation. There aren't too many options for a gas masks or military type gear.
    ...somewhere in the north-woods darkness, a creature walks upright.
    And the best advice you may ever get is never to go out…at night.

    Not sure how doable this is but a puddle of green slime, maybe a bit of fake blood in it. some skeleton bones and the mask on top..Kinda like somebodies melted into a pile of goop due to chemical exposure. You could put it next to a biohazard barrel.

    Here's one I covered with latex..similar to a basic corpsing technique. It's still wearable/ breathable.

    I have always thought that gas masks were weird and unnerving. Here are a few creepy pics I have downloaded over the years:

    You brought up gas mask and I was thinking of this movie. See attached. You could maybe do a haunted mine seen, you could light up the mask through the lens. If you have two ipods you can have it loop video images through each of the lens of the gas mask showing spooky images of destruction, huge mushroom cloud, apocalyptic, etc . You could possibly have dry ice sitting in the hose extension piece appearing like it is smoking (The picture you show has the cartridge filtration version however you could still attach an accordion style hose by unscrewing the cartridge filtration)

    Have fun
