Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Masks Make The Man

I make masks, you know? I know you don't, because the only people who know that are all dead - but I really do. My love for horror caused me to start picking up different old school masks and modding them out. The thing is, once you have a terrifying mask, there's really nothing you can do but go out and murder people in them. I mean I put so much effort into them, why shouldn't I show them off?! For that reason alone, I only have three. Do you want to see them? Don't worry, you will.

Nato – Hannibal Lecter (The Silence Of The Lambs)

Just as recognizable as Jason’s mask, Hannibal Lecter’s mask is only made more terrifying through a timeless performance by Sir Anthony Hopkins, accentuated by having his face only half-hidden. Still visible are those crazy wandering eyes, menacing choppers, and wrinkly forehead which he uses to show emotion. Physically we can see every part of Hannibal is bat-shit cannibalistic crazy, but the bite-proof mask just confirms it.

There’s also a legendary style to Hannibal’s mask now that The Silence Of The Lambs is considered a classic of the horror genre. Sure, when you think horror masks, you think Jason’s hockey mask first, but what about second? I don’t know about you, but the above picture is the second one that instantly comes to mind. It’s real, genuine head-wear meant to protect the innocent which bumps up the horror levels on Hopkin’s character just through real-life relatability. Plus, it’s essentially a muzzle, and only the craziest of criminals would have to wear a muzzle.

Hannibal is one of them, wearing a mask so recognizable it might as well be part of his face.
