Scary masks have a number of benefits for you horror lovers out there. You get the chance to bring your favourite spooky character to life. Be it a clown, a zombie, or an alien, you can take on their personality for just one night – though not every element of their personality, of course, as that could get weird.
The only thing to remember when you buy a scary mask is the effect that it could have on others. While lots of people find horror thrilling or even funny, some people (especially children) are often put off by such a terrifying character. Because of this, you might want to buy a back up in case you end up trick or treating with the kids or you find yourself at a family Halloween party!

Do you have trouble thinking of a good conversation starter? Well, it can be just about anything when you have an enormous rubber cow face on your head! A funny Halloween mask like this is bound to spark joy and laughter at whatever event you go to. It's a neutral, child-friendly mask that won't get any awkward complaints.
The other good thing about a funny mask is that it can be used at any time of the year, should the need arise. Whether for a fancy dress party or a charity event, a funny mask will give you and everyone else a good laugh on Halloween and any other day.
An iconic mask is the perfect choice for the old-schoolers who love a bit of traditional Halloween history, or anyone in need of a failsafe last-minute idea. Basically any recognisable character can make your costume stand out, not to mention that it makes great social media content. They're also great for any horror lovers planning a Halloween movie marathon.
When you choose an iconic mask, there is no doubt that everyone will know what your costume is supposed to be which can save you from the awkward small talk at parties. The only worry is that someone else could turn up wearing the same one!
Finally, think about the coverage of your mask in relation to where you'll be and what you'll be doing whilst wearing it. Half-coverage, strapped masks that sit only on your face are comfortable to wear, easy to remove, and can rest on your head or around your neck when you're eating or drinking, plus they're a lot lighter than full-coverage masks. This makes them a great option for all-night wear.
Full coverage masks, on the other hand, will allow you to really immerse yourself in the character. Whether it's an alien, a horse, or a film character, you'll create a great costume illusion. The only thing to remember is that it can get pretty sweaty in there, so try and take breaks to get some fresh air.

Love a good scare? This mask is for you. It's a full-coverage foam latex mask and has impressively intricate detailing, from its grimy mouth to the deep black eye holes and crazy red hair. It's comfortable too, and very well-ventilated.
We think this is a great versatile option – clowns are always a scary choice when it comes to Halloween no matter who you are, and they make a great trick or treating outfit as well as good party gear. You're sure to be the spookiest character on the street with this ghoulish clown mask!
This is the scariest mask on the list, for sure. This creepy insipid mask has realistic scars and scratches with dark cut-out eye gaps so you can look eerie without obstructing your sight. There are small air vents too, which make for better ventilation than some full-coverage masks.
It's made from a long-lasting and lightweight natural latex with fake hair on the top for an even more lifelike effect, so you can be the scariest guest at the party. This is a great failsafe option if you can't think of what to be!
Cover the kids' eyes, because this is an all-out terrifying mask. It's just creepy in every way; the detailing in the latex, the grime around the teeth, and especially the smokey eyes. The mask is from the film Venom, so if you've seen the movie, get ready to bring it to life.
The mask fits all the way over the head and there are large breath holes in the nose area, so it could be worn for both shorter and longer periods. All in all, this is a super-fun and scary mask that's sure to get a few screams on Halloween!
We've all seen the movie, or at least heard about it. For just one night on Halloween, you can portray one of the creepiest characters to ever appear on our screens – Jason from Friday the 13th.
The mask is made from a durable, recycled plastic and has a thick and comfortable dual strap, one part of which goes around the side of your head and the other over the top, so it sits almost like a hat. It also has a lot of breathable holes and two big eye gaps so you can easily see out, making it a great choice for parties.
This mask has a bright LED light to make sure that you're the centre of attention. Whether you're visiting a haunted house or going to a costume party, this mask will definitely be a talking point. With a simple click of a wired battery pack, your mask will light up with a scary, toothy smirk.
The mask is hard-shell plastic which is durable enough to last you several years to come, so it's worth paying a bit extra for. Plus, you can also use it to light up parties, raves, or carnivals when it isn't spooky season. You'll also have 3 different light options - steady on, slow flash, and fast flash which you can play around to whatever fits the mood.
Possibly the most popular trending Halloween mask right now, here's an option for the funny horse head that you've seen all over social media. Super-affordable and made from good quality rubber, this mask fits over your whole head, instantly immersing you in your new character.
The floppy nose wobbles about when you move and it's generally just a hilarious sight to behold, so you're sure to get lots of laughs from it. The breathing holes are nice and big, but the eye slots are a little small, which means you'll have to be careful where you step (or trot?).
With a bold crown of roses and traditional Mexican Day of the Dead face-paint markings you can be the centre of attention as you walk the streets looking for Halloween treats. Plus, it eliminates the need to put on a full face of makeup!
The mask is made from plastic and paper mache, and reviewers have said that it's a little heavy to wear, with just a ribbon to secure it on. However, if you're at a party where you might wear this mask for short amounts of time, it shouldn't be a problem.
Beautifully designed, this mask is adorned with lace, embroidery, glitter, fur, and it's bedazzled. This mask is for someone who wants to dress the part for Halloween but with a touch of elegance.
Tied on with ribbon, this mask is a great finishing touch to an all-black outfit, maybe a little black dress. You can also wear it for any other masked event, maybe at a fancy dress party. The only downside is that this mask is a little fragile with lots of attachments that could unstick if they get wet or damaged, so keep that in mind!
This is an absolute classic when it comes to Halloween masks, and there's no denying that it's a good (and easy) one. All you need to do to compliment the sad, shocked, ghoulish face and cotton hood is to throw on an all-black outfit!
The best part of this mask is that the eyes are covered with a black mesh so you can't even tell that there's someone inside the costume, which is very dark and mysterious. Our only advice would be to stick to wearing this mask for trick or treating, as we think you'd get way too sweaty whilst dancing at a party all night.
The mysterious V for Vendetta mask, a.k.a. the Anonymous mask is an iconic costume choice with its bright white base, rosy cheeks and contouring facial hair. The mask sits on via a thick elastic strap so you can easily lift it off when you need to.
While this is a cool, practical mask at a bargain price, you may find that it doesn't last for as many years as a rubber mask would as the plastic seems a little flimsy. For the Halloween period, however, it's just enough to do the trick.
