i grew up poor as hell....my family was never able to afford nice halloween costumes and such...but my mom busted her ass to come up with original cheap costume ideas. She even busted more ass to fix up the house for the holiday as well. While everyone else had nice store bought costumes and masks, i was a clown...or a generic ghost...one year i was even ET...even though everyone said i was an Oranguatan(sp?).....but again, my moms did her best. She is even the one that got me into horror movies in the first place. She loved the black and white classics. So i guess you could say i got my love from my Mom...as i got older and started making my own money...the stuff got nicer...and it still continues that way. I am almost 30 years old now...and to this day, my mom is still the very first person i show my new stuff to...even before any of you, just to see the look in her eyes and the smile on her face, because she knows that i got it from her....sorry so sappy...the topic just struck a chord with me...but that is the main reason as to why i collect masks and replicas...
Thanks,
