they're creepy they're freaky a few of
them are downright terrifying welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we're counting
down our picks for the top 10 horror
movie masks Halloween no the one with
the guy in the white mask who walks
around in stocks babysitters
for this list we're looking for the most
iconic horror movie masks that have sent
chills down our spines and found their
way into our nightmares everybody has a
secret face number 10 button masked
Nightbreed how do you know my name oh
that's a good question
there are subterranean monsters
disfigured humanoids undead creatures
but the masked serial killer takes the
cake of them all crazy
no I'm death plain and simple this movie
may have flown under the radar as a cult
classic but the button mask worn by the
film's villain dr. Decker is clearly the
star of the show the button eyes and
zipper mouth really up the creep factor
which is saying something as he's
already a knife wielding murderer
number nine pig mask saw franchise pigs
don't generally inspire fear but combine
a somewhat unsettling representation of
a swine's head with brutal deaths and
gut-wrenching horror soon follows worn
by jigsaw and his accomplices to hide
their identities and representing the
zodiac year in which the killer began
his reign of terror this gruesome
disguise dials up the dread in an
already horrifying scenario seeing that
pig mask is pretty much a sign that
you're already screwed number eight
mrs. Trudeau knee mask Alice sweet Alice
[Music]
the film's overall unnerving tone is
heightened by the appearance of a clear
mask with a horrible makeup job and when
it's paired with a violent yellow
raincoat
well unsettling is an understatement in
the hands of a child it's kind of eerie
maybe even a little disturbing but on
the face of a killer that ghastly eye
shadow and sinister permanent smile is
the stuff of night terrors put it on
number seven the hag curtains make me
love you make me desire auditioning for
a movie role is terrifying enough but
when you add a murderer into the mix
things become slightly more intimidating
[Music]
the hag mask is pretty terror inducing
with its deep hollow eyes and frown of
murderous intent a sickle a few rival
actresses and lethal determination bring
new meaning to the term fierce
competition you ever wanted something so
badly
[Applause]
me I wanted to be an actress
number six baby pace killer the hills
run red you know that part about the
cutting off the face and stitching on a
mask we made that up for the movie he
actually did it this mask is a fairly
recent addition to the horror genre but
it doesn't skimp on the scary it might
be the shattered human jaw combined with
the cracked porcelain cheeks or the
creepy baby face doll or the fact that
it's just held on in the barbed wire
good untied or it might be that there's
a vicious murderer behind the mask but
this is definitely the film's main
freakout you can keep singing if it
makes you feel better
number five Hannibal Lecter The Silence
of the Lambs
good evening carries the fact that this
otherwise cool calm and collected
middle-aged gentleman has to be
restrained with a straitjacket and
muzzle pretty much says it all
[Music]
seething with cannibalistic intent and
the curious appetite of a thousand
stoners Hannibal the cannibals mask
serves as a constant reminder that he
can straight-up kill you whenever he
wants and eat your organs with a
complimentary beverage I ate his liver
with some fava beans and a nice Chianti
number four ghost face scream franchise
no please don't kill me mr. ghost face I
want to be the sequel the ghost face
mask seems like it was designed to
inspire the perfectly crafted scare the
gaping eye holes the contorted mouth the
white on black coloring it's not a mask
you want to see showing up in your
dreams or at your door aside from the
campy but clever film the ghost face
mask has become synonymous with sharp
scares and even sharper knives
number three Leatherface Texas Chainsaw
Massacre franchise as a general rule
cannibals tend to be a little off with a
cannibal wearing a mask made of human
faces and carrying this is probably the
worst however if the mask made up the
skin of his victims that truly drives
home the absolute bone-chilling fright
of Leatherface
[Applause]
of course the chainsaw and his massive
size pretty much mean instant death
number two Michael Myers Halloween
franchise
do you like finance who knew that a
Captain Kirk mask could haunt the dreams
of children and most adults for
generations I do believe it was armed
with almost supernatural killing
abilities Michael Myers is the killer
that keeps on killing and his super
creepy mask complete with matted hair
and hollow eyes delivers the kind of
terror that makes you need a nightlight
as if that would help before we unveil
our number one pick here are a few
honorable mentions why are you a that
stupid place
[Applause]
[Music]
number one
Jason Friday the 13th franchise the
third installment of the Friday the 13th
film franchise forever changed the way
we would view sports equipment Jason
Voorhees dons his classic mask for the
first time in this film and thus
nightmares were born the relative
harmlessness behind a hockey mask is
replaced with homicidal bloodlust as
Jason kills teenager after horny
teenager it's an iconic horror mask that
brings to mind menace murder and
machetes do you agree with our list
