[October] Fun! Halloween Mask Roundup
When it comes to Halloween, costumes are the first thing that comes to mind—but putting together a full outfit can be pricey, and some people feel shy about wearing one.
It can feel like a high hurdle… If that sounds like you, you may have found the right place.

We’ve selected masks you can buy online, and even some you can make yourself.
It’s a collection of ideas that lets you soak up the seasonal vibe and event atmosphere without overdoing it!
[October] Fun! Halloween Mask Roundup (1–10)
Dollar-store zombie mask
Recreate a zombie using a mouth-covering mask and makeup! This is an easy zombie mask you can make with items from a 100-yen shop.
Paint nail tips in black, silver, and red to create zombie teeth parts beforehand.
Cut a slit into the top layer of a nonwoven mask, and use red and black eyeshadow on the opened area to create a bloody look.
Add eyeshadow across the mask as well, then attach the nail-tip teeth to the opening with adhesive.
Next, use eyeliner to shade the black teeth, and apply fake blood between the teeth and around them to finish.
If you get creative with eye makeup, you can make it look even more like a real zombie.
Crow Mask
At first glance it looks like a crow, but in fact this is a reproduction of the plague mask that physicians actually used during times when infectious plague was rampant.
Using soft cosplay crafting COS board, cut it according to templates for a crow’s face and beak.
Glue the pieces together with instant adhesive and a fixing spray, then add surface patterns with a soldering iron and hot glue gun.
Attach an elastic band, and finish by painting with lacquer spray and the like to create a weathered look—then your eerie, unsettling crow mask is complete!
Jason
Even a somewhat cheap Jason mask can become a realistic slasher mask with just a bit of work! Use sandpaper to add fine scratches all over, then apply multiple coats of white lacquer spray across the entire mask.
Next, use masking tape to mark out the red markings and the “beard” area, and paint them in.
After removing the tape, load a cloth with black and brown paint and rub it in, working the color into the scratches as you go.
Finish by spraying a clear coat over everything, and you’ve got a terrifying Jason mask ready to swing an axe on Friday the 13th.
Darth Vader
A realistic mask that even turns your voice into Darth Vader’s! The parts are divided into three pieces—the face section, helmet, and a voice controller—and it has an adjustable microphone positioned at the mouth.
Attach the face and then the helmet, flip the switch, and the voice changer transforms your voice into Darth Vader’s gravelly tone! It also comes with cool English voice lines, so if you want to feel even more authentic, we recommend playing the lines while wielding a lightsaber.
With adjustable components that fit the shape of your head, even small children can wear it.
Halloween deco mask
Customize store-bought masks for Halloween in four ways! If you’re decorating with sticker felt, whose back side is adhesive, place the sketch you drew on a separate sheet onto the back of the felt and trace the lines to transfer it.
Then simply cut along the lines and stick it onto the mask to finish.
You can also quickly create an original mask by printing an illustration on iron-on transfer paper and applying it, or by attaching store-bought Halloween decorations with glue.
Adding paint like the word “Halloween” with Posca markers is also easy and recommended.
Batman
With this high-quality Batman mask, you’ll feel like a real comic-book hero! Made from soft rubber, the mask faithfully reproduces details down to the mesh at the neck and the nostril openings.
Put the face portion on from above, then make a small slit at the neck to make it easier to wear and wrap it around.
Slick your hair back with gel so it doesn’t get in the way, then just pull the mask on.
Before that, fill in around your eyes with a brush-tip eyeliner to boost the realism even more—highly recommended! Throw on a cape too, and why not go all-in as Batman?
Hero Mask
Let’s make a hero mask using 100-yen shop materials and cardboard! Cut out the cardboard following the template and assemble it into the base shape of the mask.
Next, apply stone clay so it forms a smooth helmet shape.
Once it hardens, sand it with sandpaper to remove bumps, then paint the entire surface white.
Use masking tape to mark and paint the patterns, and attach the small parts for the ears and face to finish.
You can customize it into your favorite hero by changing the colors and parts, so give it a try!
