I like my masks to be wearable and for them to fit. I was wondering how many of you prefer to add velcro and also if you guys like having eye screens on your masks or not. I’m going to be putting velcro on my CSH8 for sure and was thinking of doing it for my Nemesis as well. My Nemesis also has eye screens and it’s not easy seeing out of them. The Tony I have fits pretty much perfect so no velcro necessary and also it has no eye screens. It is also the closed mouth version which I prefer.
I used to just wair a black stocking over my head to blacken eyes, like a bank robber. Since its pretty much right on your eyes you can see farely well. It also helped keep the sweat off the mask. Give it a try, see if you like. It also gave me an excuse to wair ladies garmets on my head!
I used to have velcro on my old Samhain mask Skip. It did make wearing a heck of a lot easier. If you don’t like it, you can always just peel it off pretty easy. I never used eye screens because I like when you can see the eyes like in the movie. Sometimes you can catch a glimps of them and to me it adds to the creepy.

See, I was never a big fan of adding Velcro or eye screens. I sometimes wore dark pantyhose over my head, also for sweat and breath moisture. Also, if the mask was too loose, i bought thick sponges at the supermarket and i would stuff them in the mask to get a tighter fit.
Yeah, I would prefer no eyescreens, but I don’t want to take them out of my Nemesis, I would rather just leave it as is. Still considering the velcro though, I have tried the sponge thing and it just doesn’t do what I’m looking for.
Does the lycra stocking or mask tighten the mask a little giving you a minor Warlock stretch? I was thinking about wearing one under the mask for protection and to blacken the eyes, but I only have half inch of room in it
I use Velcro on my masks not just so they can fit better, but to also get a certain look out of them. That’s what I did with my H40, and what I plan on doing with the new tots 78 since that’s gonna be the size of an H2 deluxe. I use a mouthless ski mask with adjusted eye holes so you can’t see the ski mask from outside of the mask and black costume make up around my eyes so it’s more difficult to see my eyes, but you can still kind of catch a glimpse of them, and it’s especially harder to see them on Halloween night.
don’t think I need velcro in my case, but something black to protect the mask from excessive sweat and blacken the eyes could be handy, not sure if there’s an ideal product out of the box for that or if I better just modify a woman stocking , but whatever I use I guess it’s gonna take out a little bit of room and possibly stretch the mask on the sides which is something I don’t want since it’s an H1…
Speaking of Velcro and padding, does anyone have those reference photos of the inside of the H40 mask showing the padding and Velcro placement? I think the new 78 mask would benefit from it as well. Thanks.
yes, I know, but when I wrote the answer I had in mind that maybe other people are looking for this answer, why not bother and answer it to help others?
