The "over masks", used by the band, were not made by any of the mask makers; they were made by different companies and the band just made molds of them and did different paint jobs. One of the masks was made from a "Masquerade Jester" face mask. Another one was a "Demon Goat" mask. The other masks were made from vintage face masks, probably made by Ben Cooper, inc.
