My first Freddy mask (which technically was a knock-off "burned man") mask did the exact same thing as in those pics after only a couple years. Since then, I have a few latex masks which frankly I've not taken great lengths to preserve, and they're in just as good condition now as they were 15-20 years ago. My really nice latex stuff, and the more expensive stuff, I do regular maintenance on just to be safe.
