Florence, KY (PRWEB) October 6, 2009

Political figures have always made for some interesting Halloween masks. This year however it seems the highly-charged political environment has spawned an entirely new generation of Halloween masks. And, depending upon one’s political persuasion, consumers may or may not find them funny. One such example is the soon to be released ‘Barakula’ full over-the-head latex mask which has a striking resemblance to a cross between President Barack Obama and a vampire.

According to Curtis Sigretto, President of Halloween Express, one of the nation’s largest seasonal Halloween chains, “I’ve been in the Halloween business for over 20 years and I can’t recall a time when the level of interest in these political masks has been higher. We can’t keep them in stock. It looks like this new ‘Barakula’ mask will be more popular than all of them – easily surpassing the demand we saw for the Clinton masks in the 90’s. It’s amazing.” Sigretto was quick to add, “Of course there are masks and costumes on the other side of the political aisle too. This year it appears the Governor Sarah Palin costume kit is a popular choice. So too is the Bush mask.”

The ‘Barakula’ full over-the-head latex mask is expected to hit store shelves October 10th and will be exclusively available at select Halloween Express retail stores as well as online at http://www.HalloweenExpress.com . Consumers can purchase a full range of Halloween masks from Halloween Express.

The good

One of the best aspects of Halloween masks is that they disguise who you are quite thoroughly. Whether you choose a Halloween mask that covers your entire face and head, or just a portion, the final effect of either is that it alters the shape of you face. This can make it even more difficult to recognize you than it would be with merely face paint.

Another positive of Halloween masks is that they are very simple to use. If you paint your face, you will need a good deal of time, patience, and some artistic talent to get the right effect. With a Halloween mask, you simply slip it on and you are ready to go.

Masks can also be an inexpensive costume idea. By wearing a solid colored outfit and slipping on a mask, you can instantly become the character that the mask represents – other accessories are optional. You can even combine Halloween masks with your everyday clothing to become a zombie doctor, a cat who is a chef, or other unique idea.

The bad

Halloween masks can be dangerous if they are worn improperly. Special care should be taken to make sure that the mask does not block your vision or your breathing. This is particularly true with children’s costumes, since an improperly fitting mask could cause them to injure themselves while out trick or treating. You will want to try the mask on to make sure that it fits properly before wearing it on Halloween night. Remove masks when driving to ensure that you are able to see properly.

Halloween masks can also be hot, so if your Halloween evening will be spent in a warmer climate or a crowded party room you may become uncomfortable rather quickly. If you feel that you are overheating, remove your mask. Also make sure that you drink plenty of water during your Halloween celebrations.

While Halloween masks can be an inexpensive alternative to a full costume, they can also become quite pricey. The more detailed a mask is, the higher the price tag will often be. So if you are on a budget, you may have to settle for a less detailed Halloween mask, or an alternative like face painting, to achieve a similar effect.

Halloween masks can be an excellent addition to your Halloween costume, but they are not the perfect solution for everyone. Only you can decide if this Halloween accessory is right for you. If you purchase a mask and decide later on that it is not as comfortable or as safe as you would like, you can also use it as a creepy way to decorate your home.
