The head that was used was a Don Post series A Creature recast from the early 1990's. These masks were originally featured
for sale in "Famous Monsters Of Filmland" magazine in the 1970's. Due to popular demand, they were reissued in the 90's, and
were for display purposes only. They were poured thicker than the originals so alterations had to be made.
An incision was made in the side of the neck on both sides to allow my head inside. It was a tight squeeze, but once
inside, it fits well. The neck will then be closed using the same velcro technique the feet used. After this is done, the
head will be repainted to match the rest of the costume, and to get rid of the silly red lips!
