Had some new flooring fitted in the living room the other day and the 2 guys doing it caught sight of my RZ and H40 masks and said something along the lines of “JESUS CHRIST, those are terrifying!”
We’ve recently moved into a new house so over the last few months ive had a few different tradesmen comment how scary looking they are lol, none have ever recognised what there from which surprises me.
Have you had the same happen to you ? Any funny reactions ? Any people realise what they were ?
I have a few lifesize stuff with my masks and busts and I have had a few people get freaked out but one time 2 guys came in to replace my stove and one of them got a glance of my myers statue and was like “Hey man that’s awesome I love the Halloween movies.” We then spent about 30min talking about the masks, films, and were he can get some. But most of the time its my wifes family who come over and say “what the hell is that evil shit!”
Usually when people come into my den and see all the crazy things on display and in my cabinets. They stare for a minute but don’t know what the hell they’re even looking at. I remember when some douche bag came into my den one day and was looking at my Myers masks and said “Jason is cool”. I looked at him while smiling of course and said "Are you f@#king kidding me? Jason? Most people have no idea what my masks are about or how much they’re worth. And when I tell them, they sh!t themselves. People just don’t get it.
Oh and the people who don’t understand it REALLY want you to know that they don’t understand it. They keep asking questions in this passive aggressive tone almost like they’re talking down to you and like you’re stupid. Like can ya’ll just say “Oh cool” and leave it at that?
What I don’t understand is…how is walking into someone’s den with a bunch of horror/movie memorabilia any different than walking into someone’s den with a bunch of deer heads on the wall, or a bunch of fish they have caught, or the moose they shot out west? Somehow parading around your dead animals is normal and movie memorabilia is not…oh well
My collection isn’t huge, but I have a few things. Not many people have seen my stuff either. My 2 year old nephew saw my H40 mask for the first time and he loved it at first, but then it started to scare him. Now whenever he sees a picture of Myers, he says my name, like I’m him. I’m honored, I guess
I did have this one time where a guy and his maybe 12 year old son came to fix our air conditioner (I guess it was bring your kid to work day) the air conditioner is in the closet across from my room, and I caught his son staring into my room from the hallway. I know exactly what he was looking at too from the look on his face and where his eyes were pointed. He was checking out my Hush mask and 2 of my custom painted hockey masks. Never said anything, but he looked intrigued/freaked out at the same time.
It’s so weird. Don’t get me wrong…I don’t have an issue with people displaying deer heads and mounted fish…it’s just interesting the way people view the two.
HAHAH the same!!! Only my kids have permission to see my collection. I just can’t stand when people stare and asks questions. Maybe because I’m a very private person.
