[October] Fun! Halloween Mask Roundup (1–10)
Realistic animal mask
You can even handcraft a realistic lion mask! Brush a mixture of paper clay, glue, and water onto a three-dimensional mask base.
Then increase the ratio of paper clay and layer it on to shape it closer to a lion’s mouth and muzzle.
While it dries, make the teeth with resin clay, and create the lion’s coat from wool felt, dividing it into four parts such as the lower jaw and around the nose.
Attach a nose made from black resin clay, darken the area around the mouth, and then apply the wool felt.
Use red-tinted resin clay to mimic gums and press in the teeth, and finally add the tongue and whiskers to finish.
Spider-Man
Spider-Man always makes an appearance in annual Halloween costume specials.
Put on a full-face mask and become the beloved hero adored around the world! The hard-type mask includes padding to prevent the inside from pressing against your face.
It’s also battery-powered, letting you change the eye color—use the switch on the inside of the chin while wearing it to toggle the eyes between blue and red.
Since you’re going all out, why not match your outfit to Spider-Man’s and enjoy a truly authentic costume?
Deadpool
This is a mask of Deadpool, the superhero appearing in works published by Marvel Comics in the United States.
The front of the mask is made of a firm material, so when you wear it, the contours of your face and the pointed shape at the top of your head are maintained as-is.
It’s generously sized, so there’s no need to worry about it feeling too tight.
The back is made of fabric, making it easy to slip on and off.
Even those with thicker necks can wear it comfortably.
Deadpool is a far cry from a traditional hero, known for his quips, risqué jokes, and over-the-top humor.
Enjoy Halloween to the fullest with this mask of a hero who’s unconventional in all the best ways.

Iron Man
Want to become a superhero—Iron Man, to be exact? This oversized full-face mask has a weighty feel and a commanding presence.
The faceplate is removable, and the jaw and neck are articulated to make putting the mask on and taking it off easier.
Insert batteries inside and it will play sounds in sync with removing the faceplate! The eyes also light up for a more realistic costume.
It’s an irresistible mask for fans of American comic book heroes.
We also recommend coordinating your outfit so your body looks bigger to match the mask’s presence.
Halloween mask with a glue gun
How about an originality-packed Halloween mask made with a glue gun, a tool that melts easily deformable plastic resin for bonding? The butterfly-shaped mask made with a glue gun, worn around the eyes to conceal one’s face on TV shows, evokes a masquerade and is perfect for creating a mysterious vibe.
However, making masks with a glue gun takes some time to get used to, so be sure to start crafting your mask well in advance of Halloween.
skull
This skull mask looks incredibly realistic, with cracks, bone seams, and weathered scars.
It’s not just full-face—it’s a serious piece that also covers the back of the neck and the collarbone area.
Since the design leaves no skin exposed, you won’t need to apply makeup to the neck where it peeks out from your clothing.
Throw on a hoodie or pair it with bone-printed clothes to complete your own skull style.
The mask is soft and easy to wear, but the breathability leaves something to be desired.
Take it on and off as needed, and enjoy your costume!
clown
Everyone knows clown masks, and they seem perfect for Halloween.
A standard clown mask can be plenty scary, but choosing a horror-style mask with wobbling or popping eyes will create an even more Halloween-like vibe, so I recommend it.
Also, because clowns have large noses, that area tends to be hollow and provides better airflow, making it easier to breathe—handy for situations where you’ll wear the mask for a long time.
Incidentally, clown masks often have reduced visibility due to their large eyes, so adjusting the eye position with something like glue can make them even more practical to use!
