DISASTER! My H3 set repainted by Rob Tharp...RUINED!

**_A few days ago some of you may recall that I was absolutely ecstatic after receiving my CGP Halloween III set back from being repainted by Rob Tharp, they LOOKED great!!! Here’s a reminder pic:

“LOOKED” great (as in past tense) being the key word. They are NOT fairing anywhere near as well at the present, in fact they are hardly RECOGNIZABLE, let alone jaw dropping any longer! :frowning:

Due to being so happy with my masks when I received them, I did what most likely ANY of we mask geeks would do after receiving these beauties…l popped in my Halloween III blu ray to celebrate!!

I had a bag of hot buttered popcorn and a few ice cold beers by my side while watching Halloween III and smiling from ear to ear like a dim-witted child! I would pause the blu ray when the Skull, Pumpkin and Witch masks would appear in the movie and would compare them to mine. It was so cool to know that the masks I owned were painted by the same guy who painted these masks in Halloween III and were cast off the real masks!! I was in mask-geek heaven, until…

I got too wrapped up in the movie and FORGOT about that damned Silver Shamrock commercial. :frowning:

Up until this point I had basically been fast forwarding to the scenes where I wanted to pause the movie and compare my H3 set to the ones in the movie, such as the Silver Shamrock factory scene. After awhile of viewing the movie masks and comparing with my masks (and delighting in the fact they were darn close!) I decided to start the movie over and watch it again from the beginning, this time without interruption.

This was my huge mistake and before long…IT happened! The Silver Shamrock commercial came on and with my gleeful (ignorant) bliss I let the thing play WITHOUT fast forwarding it!!! :open_mouth:

Suddenly a strange “buzz” and an “electrical” smell started occurring from the immediate direction of my skull, pumpkin and witch. At first this whole thing gave off an eerie glow and it actually was kind of cool looking:

But then these little Silver Shamrock tags attached to the back of the masks started to buzz louder and my masks started distorting! I immediately ran into my hallway to fetch a fire extinguisher (I thought these chips was going to cause a fire) but when I came back…it was too late.

There was no fire but some strange metamorphosis had occurred. My beautiful masks had “melted” and there were bugs and snakes crawling all around and through them…just like in the movie!! I thought the Silver Shamrock tags were harmless and the movie simply a work of fiction, man was I ever wrong. :frowning:

Here’s a few pics of what my masks now looked like:




When I looked back at my television the dvd had frozen and paused on THIS image:

I should have KNOWN Cochran was behind this!!! :imp: :imp: :imp:

Dmn you Cochran…Dmn you!!!




Thanks for looking everyone and sharing in on the fun! :laughing:

When I read this title,my heart sank :open_mouth: At first I was thinking "No way,what could have possibly happened?!!"Secondly,after reading on a bit I thought maybe you got a little hammered and somehow spilled popcorn butter all over them…which would have still not ruined them.I was truly a but puzzled :stuck_out_tongue: Man,once I started to get it and especially once I saw the melted H3 set,I was relieved and also reminded of how interesting your posts are,Benny.That is the way to do it and have fun.CRE-A-TIVITY!!Not only was that a WTF moment,it was actually a lot of fun to read through.Those melted H3 masks are great.I always loved those.Sweet pics of them to boot!!
