I thought Silvershampain's "accurate mask" was where they put castings of the actual film prosthetics on a Kane Hodder bust, and used that to cast a hood... not a claim to having an accurate Hockey Mask. I could be wrong though?Some say there's a difference between the part 7 and part 3 Hockey Mask shapes/holes/eye placements. I've never made the comparison personally, so I won't vouch for that. Frightstuff has an accurate part 7 unpainted Hockey Mask which is different than the part 3 & 4 they offer, you just have to ask for it specifically because they aren't making huge runs of them.. I've never got one, but if I wanted an accurate one, it's where I'd go. As far as painting accuracy goes, I know you asked about blanks, but I just wanted to re-enforce (for you, and the folks that ask after you) that Crash definately wouldn't steer you wrong, there's a few others out there that would also do a good job at varying prices. You have to look at their work and decide for yourself though.. it all depends on what you're looking for it to be accurate to... the lighting, damage, etc all changed throughout the scenes of the film, and the order in which they were shot. You also may be more familiar with the VHS look, the DVD look, or even the existing prop. It's not all the same appearance.
