Vintage Don Post Studios Carlisle

Picked up this Carlisle mask by Don Post Studios. I've wanted one of these for a while and managed to find this original copy (thick black latex with glow-in-the-dark paint). The originals were put out in the late 60s and a few reissues have been done over the years. To me these old school mass produced masks have a real Halloween feel to them.





When I opened the box, the mask was covered in such a thick layer of grunge that the mask no longer glowed in the dark. After spending a while carefully cleaning it up, the gitd paint was able to glow again under blacklight.

Thats awesome!

Great job with restoring it too.

Damn Lee, that is CK! Between you and Scott I think we have two kick ass new artists here.

great work from yukon studios.

Thanks guys but just to clarify, this is still the original paint. All I did was very carefully clean the 40 years of grunge and grime off of it (when I pulled it out of the box the whole thing was the brownish-black color of an old tire).

Very nice.

nice score lee seth

Man its a treat to see these old school beauties....thanks for posting the pics! I can almost hear Bobby "Boris" Pickett nging when I look at pics like this.

Thats Awesome Lee!!! I can remember going up town when I was a youngster with my Grandma. It was a Nice cool fall day and the leafs were starting to turn. We stopped in at Murphy's Drug Store where I seen this really kool Dracula mask. It looked like the original Dracula and I am not sure who made it. I was just a kid. I told my Grandma about it and she bought it for me! I wore it all the time. I wish I new what happend to it.

That mask ment the world to me. Between that one and the Mummy mask my neighbor gave me because he knew how much I liked masks.

Those were my fondest memories growing up.

This Frank mask is pretty sweet man and being Vintage like this makes it all the more cherishable! Nice Score Man! --Ryan
