Yeah I hate cutting faces out too, but as a costumer who wears costumes up to 5-6 hours at a time it is necessary. Especially if you are not going to remove the hockey mask anyway ever. No average Joe is going to see anything wrong with your costume, you are talking to die-hard fans here who look at every little detail, thinking it should all be 100% accurate. Which in most cases is not possible especially for wearing and comfort. Display is a different story.99.9% of people are not Kane or Derek, so that means nothing. They are simply the people who were selected to play the role. You ain't suposed to be their size, that is who they are not the character actually. Many people in the public can't even tell the difference between Myers, Freddy, or Jason, let alone appreciate the accuracy and details of a costume. I know based on 25 years of doing it. As long as it looks scary that is all that matters.
