Description The Red Death costume, a very impressive costume that is worn by the phantom in the Masquerade scene. 

This skull-shaped mask is very special, since it has a moveable jaw. We have already made three by now and still we sometimes have people ask for this mask.

We have produced different versions; based on the 25th Anniversary edition, worn by Ramin Karimloo playing the phantom, a Broadway and a West End version.

There were also different preferences with regard to the colour of the masks. This resulted in three different masks, but each with an equal amount of detail. It is a time-consuming job to make it; the mask is made to size using a plaster cast of the face of the customer. After that it is re-enforced, built up and shaped in clay, sanded, painted in many layers, covered on the inside with black velvet and of course the working mechanism of the jaw so it can move when wearing it.

All in all it’s a complex part of the costume, but one which finishes off the costume as a total.

NOTE: We only made the mask showed in this picture, the costumes were made by the lovely Enchanted Sea Studios.
