Besides making great strides in the field of metalhead recruitment and unveiling some of the most timeless heavy music albums ever, Slipknot are best known for their unique aesthetic, to which they adhere to with the utmost fidelity.
It’s easy to see why they’re known to non-fans as “that band with the masks”, they are indeed that band with the masks. But up until now, fans wanting their own Slipknot masks have been forced to make their own or buy shoddy replicas on eBay.
No more. As FasterLouder reports, the Iowa natives have finally begun selling replica copies of their own masks and they’re arriving just in time for Halloween. Coincidence or genius marketing ploy? You be the judge.
You can collect the whole set, with the band offering masks in the style of Corey Taylor, Shawn “Clown” Crahan, Mick Thomson, Sid Wilson, Craig Jones, Chris Fehn, and Jim Root. All you need is some jump suits and eight friends and your squad’s ready to go.
The masks range in price from USD$32 to USD$60, plus shipping, and would be perfect attire if you happen to be heading down to the band’s official Scream Park in Sacramento, California later this month.
As we previously reported, Slipknot have partnered up with a US theme park to create their series of bone-chilling haunted houses, which are already being billed as “the world’s most outrageous haunted house event”.
