Trick or Treat Studios Debuts and with One of Three Toxic Toons Masks

Trick or Treat Studios

Trick or Treat Studios


This past weekend was the annual Transworld Halloween Costume and Party Show in Rosemont, IL. And among the many vendors we usually see there, there were some new ones hitting the scene.

Trick or Treat Studios debuted at the show with a great response and something fun and fresh to the scene including an All- New Eric Pigors of Toxic Toons Mask that is Number One of a Series of Three.
Trick or Treat Studios Team

Trick or Treat Studios Team


Trick or Treat Studios has face masks designed Erich Lubatti, creator of the masks for the street performers at Knott’s Scary Farm’s Halloween Haunt. In fact these ARE the same masks worn by the street performers! Available exclusively through Trick or Treat Studios. Also in their collection are some beautifully detailed full head masks inspired by the classics and sculpted by Justin Mabry exclusively for Trick or Treat Studios.

In addition to these masks, Eric Pigor of Toxic Toons is designing some masks for the studio and right now you can get the First in the Series of Three.

Toxic Toons Gruesome Mask

Gruesome Mask

GRUESOME is only 59.99 and Sculpted by Justin Mabry / Designed by Eric Pigors. Gruesome is the first mask in Trick or Treat Studios exclusive Eric Pigors Toxic Toons Collection. “What is a Toxic Toon you ask? Let me quote Eric, “It’s a cartoon character described as a nutty scabbed chicken poxed lilly livered stiched up bone poppin goofball! With some sort of diabolical disturbing dilemma in store.”

Gruesome is the embodiment of this description. This amazing likeness, sculpted by our own Justin Mabry, has all the characteristics that make Gruesome the character we all know and love. Put on your maggot filled overcoat, slip on your mask and prepare all your friends for Gruesome.

Trick or Treat Studios should be on the look out for some great low-cost products with details that can add to any haunt, party or Halloween Store. Stay Tuned to RFR for them to be guests soon.

CFX Launches New Upgraded Site and Masks of the Month!


RELEASE TO RFR:
The new CFX website has gotten a much needed upgrade with some new bells and whistles, more easy to view product catalog, and a few new things that we’ve added based on all those emails we’ve gotten from our customers. We’ve updated our project gallery to reflect some more recent film and TV work we’ve done outside of the haunt realm to give you a little taste of the other side of CFX.

There’s also now a customer gallery with an assortment of some of the photos our customers have sent us using our products. A totally new addition, though, is our Mask of the Month feature that showcases a different customized silicone mask every month either by public request or because we got a weird twitch in one eye during production. Last, but certainly not least, we’ve posted teaser spots for some of our new masks that will be released in March at the 2010 Transworld Haunt Show in St. Louis. As much as everybody pushes and prods us, and as much as we’d like to reveal the full photos, the unspoken ethics of customer anticipation ties our hands and only allows these tantalizing little silhouettes and titles for your viewing pleasure and frustration.

Our new mask products cover a somewhat broader spectrum than our previous releases. This diverse bunch of freaks and miscreants is in response to a collection of customer requests from different markets, spawning some more fundamental fears of the human psychosis while still keeping the company of the classic monsters and ghouls we all love so much. There will, of course, be some new gloves to go with some of the new mask releases, as well as some other various goodies, toes and fingers to chuck out on the sales table. But, the rest of those will have to wait entirely until March, when we’ll see what the constraints of time will allow.

Until then, send us your best customer photos, wipe the drool off your chin and book a hotel room for your trip to St. Louis because if you’ve actually sat through this much of this little blurb, chances are you haven’t done your homework tonight yet.”
