_This is the second score on my journey to recreate the Vincet Drug Store scene where Rachel takes Jamie to get her costume in HALLOWEEN 4.
This time I landed the Don Post Mummy mask. This mask was originally released in the mid seventies as the Don Post Mummy 5000 BC, later to be re-released simply as the Don Post Mummy. There were a few variations of this mask that came out, the one in HALLOWEEN 4 with the snake wrapping around the skull is this version. This mask was released in the early 80’s and it it is one of my two favorite masks in Vincent’s!_
Here is the way it appears in HALLOWEN 4:
_And here is the copy I recently scored:_
**_I’d like to give a special thanks to Donnie who knew I wanted this mask BADLY and kept an eye out for me until one appeared on Ebay. I had no idea it had even been listed and would have “missed the boat” had it not been for my good pal Donnie aka The Boogeyman 1978!
I also would like to thank a few other people who have helped me with their knowledge and friendship during my pursuit of these vintage pieces. Chad (Warlock), Josh (Sheriff Brackett), Billy Kirkus (Kirk Magnum…thanks for not outbidding me!), Donnie (The Boogeyman 1978), Brudda Todd (Tola67) and David Lady (Dr. Lady from the HMA)
Finally I want to give props to David Lady (“Dr. Lady”) for giving me some great info about the history of this mask. He also happened to do a nice video blog over at the HMA on this mask and the blog (along with ALL his blogs!) are very much worth checking out: http://www.thehma.net/hma/entry.php/65-Dr-Lady-s-quot-Mask-Fan-Attic-quot-Don-Post-Studios-quot-Mummy-5000-BC-quot-Halloween-mask\

Great copy!!
Looks no different from the screen cap you posted Benny. Must be real mint
While you’re at it , say hello to the chick behind the counter…heard she was the sheriffs daughter.lol :butthead:
Thanks “B.B.” Kaizu! This thing is really mint man, I was very pleased when I got it in! Looked waaay better than the pics that were shown when I bought it, that’s a rarity!
Sure will bro…her old man don’t scare me!
Vintage goodness! Congrats on the nice snag.
Sweet,that was fast!!!Just what I love to see…progress.
Congrats on the second score,man.That is a great copy and such a cool mask.
That is an AWESOME score! I love that mask. That’s not only a Halloween movie feel mask, but, a Halloween spirit mask in general. Seeing that mask brings me right back to my childhood years thanks for posting. I love it!!!
wow man great eye. i don’t think i have ever noticed that piece nor have i ever seen one posted. Must have been a hard one to track down Congrats man
sweet score Benny, you are on your way brother!
mike
Great score Benny, mission fully underway!
Congrats Benny, looks exactly like the one in the screencap
Score!!! That’s a beautiful mask there Benny. So glad you finally got one… I know how bad you’ve wanted this guy.
He’s still on my list, but I currently don’t have that huge craving lol. Or lets just say a few others are ahead in line and funds are limited.
You’ve peaked my curiosity - what was this mask listed as on the bay? Never saw it and I’m usually one to catch these quick.
Again, congrats bud - fantastic!
Congrats my Brudda!!! Thats a beautiful mask, and one of my faves.
Hell of a haul there my friend. Next up, Seemore!
_Thanks Rikstar, I LOVE vintage masks and this tied in with my Halloween stuff perfectly.
Randy - thanks brother! I am VERY pleased with this copy. Maybe spent a tad more than I wanted, but still happy!
Thanks Mike (Whiteshark) and that is EXACTLY how I feel. I’d love this mask w/o the movie and it takes me back too!
mtlongy, yeah this one was a bit tough to find! I love it though and glad I finally snagged it.
Thanks Mike (E.S.C.), it’s starting to shape up! Slow process but I’m working on making it happen bro.
Thanks Psycho Si, you helped me knock one of them out!
Anthony, the pics the guy sent me were waaay bright and I was worried but when it came in it was perfect! Very glad.
Thanks Chad, I REALLY wanted this one! I love all the masks in Vincent’s but the Seemore ( ) and this one were tops for me! It was listed as a “Don Post Mummy Rubber Mask 1983”. It just wasn’t up for long before being snagged.
Thanks Brudda Todd - I really LOVE this mask, one of my faves. I always drooled over your copy and couldn’t take it any longer!!
xPsychopath - thanks man and could be…could be.
