Scary Valentine's day mask

Stiltbeast Studios tackles the lack of a go-to Valentine's Day monster by creating an original character called 'Ate of Hearts' built around a modified latex mask. The video shows how to transform an existing skull-style latex mask into a creepy Valentine's-themed character, filling a gap that holidays like Christmas (Krampus) and St. Patrick's Day (Leprechaun) don't have. The result is a ready-to-wear character concept suited for home haunters, scare actors, and haunt operators looking to capitalize on the Valentine's Day weekend.
