Childhood Halloween Mask Memories?

[🪦 frosty ●]

Well growing up in Liverpool England, there was not much outlet for a horror film fan like myself, over here it was football (soccer) and not much else, my first mask was a werewolf mask my mother bought for me from a store in liverpool city centre.
I thought it was the coolest thing i had ever seen!, later i found the range of living nightmare makeups, i remember trying to apply this gelatine based makeup and it looking like crap and sticking everywhere than to my face!.
Over here Halloween is still frowned upon, i do my best though, with lifesize figures and as much gruesome crap as i can muster!
