With the release of You're Next — now in theaters — and The Purge, 2013 has been a good year for nightmare-inducing masks. But masks are, of course, a proud horror movie tradition. The following list includes some of the most iconic slasher film masks, as well as a few cult favorites and more recent offerings.
Trick 'r Treat (2007)
Aw, he's kind of cute! But not cute enough that you'd want to get anywhere near that little creep.
Warner Premiere
Satan's Little Helper (2004)
By itself, the mask is really just silly. In conjunction with the things the killer does, however, those red eyes and giant teeth are appropriately frightening.
