Don Post Calendar Mask, 1998: Mr. Hyde

 In 1998, Don Post Studios re-visited their most famous series of masks; The Universal Monsters series.

 They were (unofficially) called the "Calendar Masks".

Each mask in this re-release was limited to 498 editions.  

This is Mr. Hyde from the Universal feature: Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, featuring Boris Karloff as Dr. Jekyll.

This mask sports the original factory paint and hair. No mask rust has afflicted him yet.
