FRIDAY THE 13th VFX Makeup Artist Tom Savini Creates Jason Voorhees Pandemic Face Masks
Looking for a cool face mask that is guaranteed to cause people to give you strange looks when you go out? Renowned horror special effects makeup artist Tom Savini, who worked on both the original 1980 Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, has created a Jason Voorhees-style personal protection Hockey Mask. Savini created this with the help of Jason Baker, who was a visual effects artist on The Dark Knight Rises.
The mask comes complete with a fabric backing to reduce the likelihood of viral transmission. The masks are being sold for $60. Here are the details:
Savini has worked on two of the Friday the 13th films, the 1980 original as well as Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter in 1984. Baker was responsible for the visual effects on The Dark Knight Rises. If anyone can create a fashionable and functional mask for the health and safety of others, it’s this duo! Now horror fans can don the infamous hockey mask as they protect themselves, and others, from COVID-19. The masks are being sold for $60. However, if you want your mask autographed by the father of horror make up effects himself, Savini’s signature will grace your Voorhees mask for an additional $40.
If you want to buy one you’ll have to DM Baker on Twitter.
