Nosferatu Amongst the Corn

Our pal Paul Gauthier shared this pic of one of the Evil Pumpkins' "Skinny Monsters" that he picked up at Maskfest. The Indian cornfield background is quite fitting!
Skinny Monster available soon at EvilPumpkins.com

Maskfest 2015 Carnage

Maskfest 2015 has come and gone.. Rubbery monster headgear galore (though solid masks are coming back in a big way!).
Evil Pumpkins was well represented and had a great time hustling pumpkins, candles and other horrifying stuff. Here is this year's selected photo gallery. Enjoy!

Uncanny Valley - leading the charge in vintage-style vacuform masks painted with light.
Their work is quite amazing!

Kosart definitely keeping Lovecraft alive!

Pumpkin Pulp - Rotting flesh glory!

Maskfest - it's for kids as well!

Devil's Workshop "Curse of The Demon"

My vote for favorite rubber masks goes to Devil's Workshop. That Shock Monster with the green teeth. Perfection!
I believe this is the person that runs the fantastic Blood Curdling Blog of Monster Masks.

Wish I had taken a better photo of this booth.. Great mask work..

Mabry - a simple booth but excellent work as always!

The Season of The Vines

The 2015 Halloween season is officially on the clock.
The late summer creeper vine aka "Mr. Triffid" just grabbed his first victim of the year here at Spooky Franklin! So much - so soon! MaskFest is next week. The Horror Hootenanny is set! So many new items for EvilPumpkins! Fall horror movies will be watched (just as soon as that temp drops anyway).

We are open for business!

Blood Curdling Blog of Monster Masks covers Mask Fest 2014

We were there too - but The BCB covers MASK FEST 2014 perfectly!

MaskFest 2013 - Just a Couple More..

A few more random favorites from MaskFest 2013. I am a huge fan of the old Don Post Glenn Strange Frankenstein mask and copies were aplenty this year. No originals but some great alternate versions just as well.. Monster Kid obsession is alive and well!

MaskFest 2013 - A Little Too Realistic?

The pics from MaskFest are piled high in my camera roll. I came across these shots of two artists who were doing very realistic, high detail, human-skin masks. I apologize for lack of info in regard to the artists' names (it was an overwhelming few days) but "Artist 1" took the realism to a disturbing level on the Wolfman, Quasimodo and Count Orloff masks..
Artist 2 also had very realistic detail but slightly less "evil" on Legendre, Danny Trejo and Cochrane..
Fantastic stuff all the way around!

MaskFest 2013: The Grim Stitch Factory

One of the highlights of MaskFest 2013 was the fact that our Evil Pumpkins booth was situated from one of the true characters of the weekend, the dude from The Grim Stitch Factory.

His pieces are epic as shown below but laugh-a-minute dialog kept us in... err "stitches"!

Never before has so much thought been put into the merits of shit-canning table-signings like "Freddy Englund" 

Next time you see GSF, tell em Evil Pumpkins says hey!

More MaskFest Monsters

MaskFest 2013 is a memory, but the images of horror live on! How absolutely awesome is it to see the wretched floating corpse from the  "A Drop of Water" segment of Black Sabbath sitting right next to a classic Glenn Strange Frankie?

Baby Jane killing time with Karloff's Monster?

A huge thanks to the folks who make these beautiful masks and display them for everyone to see!
Cannot wait for 2014!

PREPARING FOR MASKFEST 2013
