Zagone studios, which used to be Be Something Studios. When collecting, are you looking for specific characters, or is it more about the mask style and craftsmanship?ġ. I never did buy it but I also never walked away empty handed. He'd walk me through how he made it, I would revel in the detail and think about how I could make money so that the next summer I could buy it. The owner had this bust of this rotting skeleton that he made, and I was fascinated by it. I doubt it's still there, this was like thirty five years ago. Yeah, I think the seminal moment for me was this dark, seedy little shop that sold dollar jokes, fake vomit, glasses with slinky eyes and really cool masks. Was that your first IRL experience with special effects and the ephemera you had observed in horror movies? There's something beautiful about how gruesome these things are, and well, why not. I think you should wear it, you should play with it, you should love it, you should destroy it. I don’t collect things to keep them in a box and never look at them. I have never been an avid collector of anything, but as I got older, I thought: I used to have amazing toys and masks, and I want those back. I remember walking there all the time as a little kid and just being blown away by the gruesomeness of it all. There was a place in Barrie, Ontario where I’d visit my grandmother that was a mask shop. As a kid, I loved monster movies, the special effects and Halloween. Once you're a monster kid, you're always monster kid.
