item number SCP-3992
object class safe
special containment procedures: All instances of SCP-3992 are to be kept in a standard containment
locker at Site-17.
Description: SCP-3992 is a number of children's Halloween face masks.
Instances come in a range of designs, portraying various Halloween themed monsters.
Instances are constructed out of simple plastic materials, paint and string.
Each instance bears a label reading "Wondertainment Whacky Halloween Fun Masks" on their interior.
SCP-3992 instances do not display any anomalous properties when worn by a non-anomalous individual.
However, when worn by an anomalous entity, it will appear to physically change into an
adolescent humanoid of varying appearance.
Any clothing worn by the wearer will appear to change into a costume fitting the SCP-3992
instance's appearance.
Clothing will simply appear to manifest on entities not wearing anything.
To clarify, anomalous entities who wear an instance of SCP-3992 do not actually experience
a physical change in appearance, but rather appear to become humanoid.
Changes in an entity's appearance and manifested clothing cannot be physically felt, and affected
entities may continue to function and interact with their surroundings as normal.
This effect will cease when the SCP-3992 instance is removed.
The physical appearance gained by wearers of SCP-3992 instances differ significantly
in bodily features, including skin tone, skin color, size and gender.
Discovery Log: SCP-3992 was discovered on 24/██/20██, in a house in ██████, Wisconsin,
United States.
The house had been seized by the Foundation under suspicion of anomalous activity originating
from it.
Among SCP-3992, several other anomalous items were found, a majority of which were of Wondertainment
origin.
The previous residents of the house were found to have fled the area and remain unfound.
SCP-3992 was located in a cardboard box in the house's attic among several Halloween
decorations.
As of note, the name 'Stanley' was found written on the inside of SCP-3992-6 (vampire mask).
Records show a child by the same name to have been one of the houses previous residents.
The following document was found along with SCP-3992:

Dr. Wondertainment!
We miss you a lot old friend!

Addendum 3992-1: Testing of SCP-3992 on several other SCP objects was suggested as a means
of discovering the range of its effects when used on anomalous entities of varying physical
nature.
Approval of various SCP objects for testing was authorized.
Test: 3992-1-002 Subject: SCP-2006 (Taking the form of the
Creature from the Haunted Sea) SCP-3992 Instance: SCP-3992-1 (Werewolf mask)
Results: SCP-2006 appeared as an adolescent male humanoid wearing a torn plaid shirt and
jeans.
A pair of rubber gloves resembling clawed hands with grey fur appeared on SCP-2006’s
hands.
Notes: SCP-2006 was asked to change its physical appearance during the test in order to see
how the effects of SCP-3992 would react to SCP-2006's shape-changing abilities.
Several changes to SCP-2006's size, skin tone and hair occurred but remained humanoid.
SCP-2006 initially refused to remove SCP-3992-1 at first, but eventually complied once researchers
assured it that it was nowhere near as scary as its previous form.
Test: 3992-2-001 Subject: SCP-2662
SCP-3992 Instance: SCP-3992-2 (Witch mask) Results: SCP-2662 took the form of an adolescent
female.
SCP-2662 appeared dressed in a black spider web themed witch costume, complete with a
pointed witch hat and holding a broomstick (which disappeared along with the perceived
effects of SCP-3992-2 when removed).
To note is SCP-2662's appearance as a female rather than male.
This is believed to have occurred due to SCP-3992-2 resembling a generic female witch.
Notes: SCP-2662 commented on the whole physical change to be ‘Rather uncomfortable’.
SCP-2662 later assured that what it had stated previously was not meant in any way to come
off as disrespectful or insensitive, stating it had nothing against females and that they
could be cultists if they desired.
Test: 3992-3-001 Subject: SCP-1279-1
SCP-3992 Instance: SCP-3992-3 (Frankenstein's monster mask)
Results: Instance of SCP-1279-1 appeared as a human male covered in green body paint,
wearing a Frankenstein's monster costume consisting of a black shirt and pants, torn grey coat
and boots, with a pair of metal bolts protruding from its neck.
Instance appeared standing upright on its perceived legs.
Upon removal of SCP-1279 from the instance, SCP-3992-3's effects ceased
Notes: Interesting, 3992 must perceive 1279-1 as anomalous as long as it wears 1279.
This may be the case when testing with other similar anomalies.
Test: 3992-4-004 Subject: SCP-2980-1
SCP-3992 Instance: SCP-3992-4 (Devil mask) Results: SCP-2980-1's physical age did not
change.
All abnormal features and body parts of SCP-2980-1 appeared to be replaced with pieces of costume
clothing, including a fake red tail and a pair of boots resembling cloven feet.
SCP-2980-1 took the form of a human male of unknown race, coated in red body paint.
Notes: SCP-2980-1 commented on the effects of SCP-3992-4 to be rather humorous, but was
'Nothing compared to the real thing'.
SCP-2980-1 later claimed to recognize the name ‘Wondertainment’.
When questioned, SCP-2980-1 stated that the name bared a striking resemblance to that
of a cousin's ‘three times removed’.
SCP-2980-1 did not give any other useful information.
Test: 3992-5-003 Subject: SCP-2287
SCP-3992 Instance: SCP-3992-5 (Mummy mask) Results: SCP-2287 appeared no longer headless.
SCP-2287 appeared as a bald human male.
A pair of green pupils were visible through SCP-3992-5’s eyeholes.
Inspection showed its 'Mister' tattoo to no longer be present.
No physical changes were present in the rest of SCP-2287’s body as it had no other physical
abnormalities.
SCP-2287’s clothing was replaced by layers of yellow tinted linen cloth, wrapped around
its entire body similar to an Egyptian mummy.
Notes: Of significant note, SCP-2287’s anomalous properties ceased functioning while wearing
SCP-3992-5.
Whether this is due to it being a Wondertainment product is unknown.
SCP-2287 commented on finding the mask fun to wear, saying that it was 'Nice to see what
it was like from the other end'.
SCP-2287 later asked if it were possible to wear SCP-3992-5 again at some point (Decision
currently pending.
The effects of SCP-3992 may prove useful for the containment of SCP-2287’s anomalous
properties).
Test: 3992-6-009 Subject: SCP-956
SCP-3992 Instance: SCP-3992-6 (Vampire mask) Results: SCP-956 appeared as an adolescent
Caucasian female with long pink hair.
Costume consisted of a black cape and pants and red velvet waistcoat.
Notes: SCP-956 initially showed no signs of bodily movement, remaining in its passive
state.
However, after several seconds, SCP-956 visibly looked down at itself and began heavily retching.
SCP-956 attempted to remove SCP-3992-6 with its perceived hands.
When this failed, SCP-956 began clawing at SCP-3992-6 violently until it was removed
by an assisting D-class.
Addendum 3992-2: On the 29/09/20██, a package was found outside of Site-17, addressed
to the Foundation.
Inside were a second set of SCP-3992.
Instances consisted of a skeleton, jack o'lantern, banshee, zombie and clown.
The following note was included:
To the SCP Foundation,
We see that you’ve been playing around with our product and approve of it greatly!
It’s nice to see you giving others a taste of the Holidays and we hope you’re having
fun with them yourselves!
As a sign of gratitude for your vigorous testing of so many of our products, we present to
you the newest batch of Wondertainment Wacky Halloween Fun Masks!.
The following set has not been officially released just yet, but we’re hoping to get
them out soon enough!
We hope you'll share these with a few more of your guests and get some top-notch results!
With all honesty though, we make these products because many don’t get the chance to experience
a proper childhood, or even celebrate such a unique time of year.
So during that magical time when the mundane blend with the uncanny, we want to celebrate
it right and give a little more.
Cause that’s what it’s all about, right?
- Yours, Dr. Wondertainment
