Masks are not just for costumes any more. At least not for one Virginia woman, that is opening her own store to exhibit her detailed monster masks she has created.

For the past three years, after being asked to created a haunted hall at a University, she has been busy creating these awesome masks out of spray foam. Georgette Gaynor was making wedding decorations for a living when the University asked her to help them. While she was working on the haunted hall, she discovered spray foam that swells to three times its normal size that is used for insulating cracks around windows and doors.

Since then she has made over fifty large monster masks that she will exhibit as a fundraiser to collect nonperishable food items for a local food bank. The monsters have been used in the past for school fundraisers and special events. The monsters are very time consuming to make with the stages of hardening of the foam. Gaynor takes a lot of time to name them and even goes so far as to sometimes dress the monster if she feels it is necessary.
