Ebay Find Of The Week: ‘Demons’ Replica Mask (1985)

Easily one of my favorite horror movies of all time is Lamberto Bava’s 1985 Italian splatter classic, Demons.  A ridiculous but hugely entertaining mess of a movie that turns into full-on demon carnage after a prostitute named Rosemary (Geretta Geretta) puts on a prop mask at a movie theater.  And now thanks to the glorious Ebay gods, someone has replicated that very mask for you to own.

Not too shabby.  Just don’t put the mask on if you buy it or else there’s a 50/50 chance that you’ll turn into a demon.  And you’re teeth will get all messed up, and you don’t want that.  But yes, up on Ebay right now, you can bid on one of these replica masks that comes with a mini framed poster (you get to choose from 3) and also a replica of the Metropol movie ticket from the movie as well. If you’re tempted to bid, it starts at $99.95 (plus $45 shipping) which honestly isn’t bad at all for this particular piece in my opinion.  You can go HERE if you want to check out more about it and maybe you’ll end up with the coolest Halloween mask in the process.  Now in the spirit of Demons, let’s end this post with some words of wisdom from Tony The Pimp:

Give Me The Creeps! Demons (1985)

Not gonna lie, it takes a lot to give me the creeps – so this is going to be a recurring feature that will give you, the reader, an idea of just what does give me the creeps! First up, actress Geretta Geretta changing over to a demon in the aptly titled Italian classic Demons.  I remember watching this with my Dad when I was about 11.  The original VHS box was a little deceiving because it had a demon on it (from the movie) that sort of resembled an evil Muppet.  Not all that scary (shrug)

*wocka wocka wocka!*

So, everything was going along so nicely – the bad dubbing, Tony The Pimp (who hadn’t really had any golden lines up to this point), the blind guy who wouldn’t shut up…..Oh, but I wonder what’s going to happen after that girl put that mask on in the lobby and cut herself!?  Yep – here we go.   Continue reading
