The Mask originated as a comic book series. It was later adapted into the 1994 film by the same name starring Jim Carrey. The story initially revolves around a magical mask which gives anyone who places it on their face nearly limitless power and an altered appearance, characterized by a large set of teeth and green head. The mask affects the personality of the wearer by removing all social inhibitions. The capabilities of the Mask are entirely dependent upon its wearer.

Once the film became an animated television show, the character was depicted more as a mischievous superhero.

You’ll need a lot of pieces to make this costume. A fedora hat, a zoot suit or swallowtail coat or tuxedo-style pleated pants, tie and a shoe with a Cuban heel. Mostly all in pale yellow, with lots of green makeup and a bald wig.  You can also take the easy way out and purchase a Mask costume.
