Texas Chainsaw Massacre Mask

It is the fictional and main antagonist in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series. One of the first slashed film villains, he has appeared in all six of the series' films since the release of the original, in 1974. The character wears masks made of human skin (a practice which led to his name) and engages in cannibalism.

The series portrays Leatherface as a severely mentally retarded and mentally disturbed. He often uses a chainsaw and sledgehammer to slaughter his victims. He lives with a family of fellow-cannibals, who are often abusive and violent towards him. The character was loosely inspired by Ed Gein, who also wore the skin of his victims.

It is a film with nothing but hysterically paced slapdash, imbecile concoctions of cannibalism, voodoo, astrology, sundry hippie-esque cults, and unrelenting sadistic violence as extreme and hideous as a complete lack of imagination can possibly make it.

The story begins with five innocent kids on their way to checkout reports of grave robbing. As Sally, (Marilyn Burns) her invalid brother Franklin, and three friends head out to inspect the gravesite of her family, they are soon side tracked on the ultimate journey of terror. One by one, they wander into the murderous clutches of Leatherface and his trusty chainsaw. The poster reads: "Who will survive and what will be left of them?" In this case, not much, and what is...well, becomes the main course.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the quintessential horror movie of all time and along with "Night of the Living Dead" and "The Exorcist" helped establish the modern era of horror. Gunnar Hansen's performance as Leatherface would eventually serve as the prototype for many of the slashers of the late 70's and early 80's. Daniel Pearl's magical cinematography helped capture the tension of the moment and transfer the fear to the audience. A well-placed, spooky soundtrack co-composed by Tobe Hooper, echoing the screams of Sally’s terror, accented the atmosphere. This movie is definitely not for the weak, although by today's standards it is not as controversial as when it was original released in 1974.

You can have yourself a real psycho-mask. The chainsaw is a little trickier since you should not carry anything heavy (or anything very dangerous to other humans) perhaps carry around a huge fake plastic knife or a false club. This mask is enough to give thrill to watchers.
