I’m not sure if anybody else has ever had this problem, but here goes.
Any time I wear my TOTS Elrod mask, the face looks like it’s smiling. It must be the way my face is shaped, I dunno, but I really can’t wear it because it looks like The Shape is very happy with himself! 
I’ve even tried to do the Castle Stretch and it still looks the same.
Has anybody else had this problem?
This is the main reason why I don’t have an Elrod/boogeyman mask. The mouth just looks off to me.
Do you have a picture of what you mean? I have the Boogeyman and I don’t feel like I notice that.
The screen used 78 mask was the same way
The mouth looks fine to me in this mask tbh
How much of a warlock stretch are you giving it? And can we see pictures?
Well if I thought I was giving a Warlock stretch, I’d never wear a Myers mask ever again! DW is the worst Shape actor in the entire franchise IMHO.
I think it’s just that my face is too fat. Lol. I’m a larger fellow, more rotund than the average guy, so I think if I lost weight then it wouldn’t look as bad! Hahaha!
Wow…worse than Durand , Wilbur and Shanks ? I didn’t think that could even be humanly possible lol
Please post a picture
It can’t be that bad
It’s called the Kirk Smirk. The original Kirk had an (almost) smile.
I hope these pictures come out okay!
Yep, it looks like it’s smiling! Hahaha!
I don’t think it’s a deal breaker though man. Is the mouth not slit?
It really does look like William Shatner.
If you cut a mouth slit you could pull off the castle stretch better
I’ve seen worse! Like others suggested, a mouth slit might help
No, I don’t think TOTS included a mouth slit in the Elrod. I’d be too afraid to cut it myself in case I ruined it. It’s still a great mask as it is.
The screen used 78 had a bit of a smile too its supposed to be like that
I might try and slit the mouth a little bit, I’d only be worried that my nerves would start going off and I’d ruin it.
The original DPS 1975 Kirk mask has something of a “Mona Lisa” smirk to it. It’s not very noticeable when you look at the mask as it normal looks. I suspect some comfort viewing may be at play here, too. We look at the mask so much and so often, our eyes no longer pick up new details unless we’re specifically looking for them.
The smirk is far more noticeable if you reverse the image of the Kirk. Again, this is where our comfort viewing comes into play. The image is no longer as we’re used to seeing it, and our eyes immediately begin to pick up details we’re normally used to seeing.
