I am looking to create a static Jason Voorhees prop and thought I would get an early start on it. I am looking to purchase the hockey mask and have quite a wide range of prices $10-150. I am willing to pay for a quality mask its just hard to identify the quality from viewing pictures. Personally I like the Jason Voorhees part VIII mask by Els Studios although at $100 dollars its quite steep, but if the aging and quality are done right I will bite the bullet.
Can anyone recommend Els Studios or can someone recommend another dealer who puts out quality Jason Voohees hockey masks. (I already have the hood).
Regards,
Craig
I included a couple of my props for your viewing pleasure, or at least I hope its for your viewing pleasure. View attachment 4268
Sorry, don't know anything about hockey masks ('cept that they're very necessary) but wanted to suggest looking out for after-season sales in the sporting goods depts. of the big box (Maulmart, Meijers, Target, etc.) stores as they sometimes have some good stuff on clearance.
I'd recommend just going to Eekbay and buying a cheap hockey mask there. You can smear it with charcoal, dirt, mud, or brown/black greasepaint...scratch it up with an 80 grit sandpaper, flick some fake blood on it, millions of ways to modify the mask without having to spend a lot of money on it...save that money for a better buy....just my opinion though.
I would agree with Fiend..There are some fairly good quality hockey masks out there for a lot less cash. I'm not familiar with the particular one you describe, but I can see from the photo's of your props that you have an artistic talent. I'm sure if you purchased a cheaper mask and "modified it" to your requirements, you could find another good use for the $$ you would save.
I am also hoping to build a static jason this yr, I dressed as him two yrs back so now I'm going to make the costume good use.
I have the cheap looking mask from the costume, but I might try to do the Dr. Horrible Tutorial that is on here to one of the cheap ones, I would love to see what yours looks like when you're done!!
