Greetings Goalie Terror!
If you're like me, you probably find yourself here (for whatever reason) every few years to lurk around some old threads and recall the nostalgia of the days this message board was active. If you're clicking around, feel free to drop a line in this thread. Are you still into masks? Post your collection. Share some old photos.
I was a member here since 2002. I purchased my first independent mask from Shawn back in 2003 (a GT6 with elastic straps). My obsession with Jason, horror movies, and all things slasher and Halloween brought me to websites like Nightowl, NFX Studios, Gates of Hell, Death Studios, Latex Mask Central, The HMA, etc.
Browsing some of my earliest posts has me cringing and face palming, but I was so young. This was one of the few mask forums that tolerated my age and lack of maturity. At a time I did not know how to socialize on the internet (though maybe none of us did, it was all so new). I remember bringing my GT6 to a Freddy VS Jason screening when it came out. I remember dressing up in a movie accurate 'Lives' costume (war belt and all) as a middle schooler. I remember buying my first Monster Makers kit and sculpting with my brother for hours while blasting System of a Down. I remember making crappy costumes out of whatever old clothes we could find in the attic. I remember botching a few Noface Studios blanks in my first goalie mask attempts. This board meant a whole lot to me, and I still collect a bit after all these years.
I was shocked to see a post was made this year, 2017. If you find yourself here, I'd love to see some familiar usernames post up!
