Countdown to Autumn Equinox 2019

Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s an annual retreat from the elements that sucks, as I like being outside. I enjoy hiking into the woods and escaping civilization. I like taking nature photos, immersed in the peace and quiet of the trails.

AUTUMN EQUINOX 2019
9.23.19 – 3:50am EDT

UPDATE!!!! 9.24.2019

The countdown is over! Fall is here!!! Happy Autumn, everyone!!!!

…anniversaries. They’re usually about nice things. Celebratory occasions that evoke jubilance as in many cases they remind us of a milestone in our stories that was life-changing, triumphant, or just happy in general. This one, however, not so much. My little annual countdown to the autumnal equinox serves to remind me we’re only at the beginning of a long journey. I post it each year right around when Spring is in full-bloom.

Not sure how the season is where you live, but here in the Ohio Valley, it’s a short post-Winter stint of mild temperatures bringing a nice little reprieve from the high energy costs after months of your furnace driving your electric bill through the roof. Unfortunately though, it doesn’t take long for the temps to start rising and figuratively start the sweltering Summer stretch a full month early at times. Between all the rain and fluctuating post-Winter temps, there just isn’t much time to enjoy what a lot of people consider to be the best season of the year. In many cases, Summer temps hit in late April or early May and with them comes the hazy humidity and congestion-inducing allergens which quickly lead to people like me fleeing indoors to find refuge in the A/C.

It’s an annual retreat from the elements that sucks, as I like being outside. I enjoy hiking into the woods and escaping civilization. I like taking nature photos, immersed in the peace and quiet of the wilderness. Just me, my pack, and my camera strolling around — framing art and easing the stress of everyday living.

…I’d just rather do it when it’s not 90Β° outside.

Hey Autumn, I’m lookin’ at you!

James Carter JC NAG 98 Proto Michael Myers Mask For Sale!

Reading Time: 2 minutes Unbeatable Michael Myers mask! An H1 DREAM!

Reading Time: 2 minutes




$1,648.09
SOLD!



Up for grabs is the highly sought-after NAG 98 Proto, fully converted and finished by the master himself, Mr. JC, James Carter. The “98 Proto” is an unaltered casting of the 1998 Don Post Shatner proto, which in itself is a 3D-scanned replica of the original ’75 Kirk used to make the ’78 Michael Myers mask for the original Halloween. Confused yet? Quick summation is it makes for a nearly unbeatable Michael Myers mask when properly converted, which is exactly what James Carter does (in his sleep). This mask was tailored exactly to my specifications by JC; done up in the classic H1 style with grimey weathering. It’s an H1 DREAM! I’m selling only because my noggin measures 23Β½ inches around the crown, which is exactly the size of the Proto so it makes for a snug fit. When you’re trying to recreate that classic Myers look of the original film you need a little bit of room in your mask to apply what’s known as the Castle stretch, which is essentially simply opening your mouth so that your jaw drops ever-so-slightly to mimic the vertical shape of Nick Castle’s head. Hard for me to do in this mask, though as you can see from my worn shot above, even with the snug fit the mask STILL pulls off the essence of ’78. Pretty impressive especially when considering no other mask I’ve tried on at that size has yielded the same results, including the Night Owl Shat/Creep.

If you’re more of a display collector you cannot go wrong with this piece no matter your situation. Per the pics above, it absolutely kills it. If you prefer to wear your mask, any head measuring less than 23Β½ inches around is going to put you in the conversation for screen-accuracy.

This is a grail piece. If you’re interested and have the funds, don’t hesitate. Someone will snatch it up. I’m posting it here first to avoid spiking the price on eBay to cover the ridiculous fees. There is an extra $48.09 tagged on to cover PayPal fees but can be avoided if you’d like to do a private transaction. Email me for details; lordkayoss@gmail.com


*FREE SHIPPING in the United States. International buyers must contact me to make shipping arrangements. Insurance is optional and must be requested and paid by buyer prior to shipping.

*PRICE BREAKDOWN – For those not active in the independent Myers mask trade, you might wonder why the asking price for this piece seems high. Here’s a quick rundown: the price of the blank 98 Proto and conversion/finishing job by JC was right around $600 invested. Now, the killer…. JC’s current wait time to have a mask converted/finished is right around 3Β½ years, which drives the value of these gems up exponentially. I joined his queue in the Fall of 2014, and my spots with him came up in early 2018. You are jumping the line completely by purchasing second-hand.

This piece was commissioned by JC in April 2018, and is like new. I am the only owner. Condition is mint and the inside of the mask has been powdered to fully preserve the latex. Mask is resting in thin plastic while stuffed with plastic-sealed cotton to fully preserve it’s shape. I guarantee it’s full quality and condition. Lastly, as mentioned above, if you wish to save $48.09, a private PayPal transaction is also an option. Contact me for details.

If you have any other questions, please email me directly at lordkayoss@gmail.com

Thanks for looking and happy haunting!

AUTUMN EQUINOX 2018
9.22.18 – 9:54pm EDT

Spring? What’s that? Already feels like mid-July in the Ohio Valley (it’s only May). That cancerous ball of radiation is already making its presence felt as a sweltering string of 90Β° days have blistered the area. Anyone hoping for a nice, mild spring with temps in the 60s and 70s got laughed out of the conversation weeks ago. Sad thing is, summer is technically still over a month away at the time of this publication. Sigh.

Mother Nature isn’t the only one looking ahead. She brought summer early. Good for her. All the more reason to get the Countdown to the Autumnal Equinox started now rather than later. Fret not, cool-weather friends. Good times are ahead; for you, for me, and especially this guy…


James Carter Night Owl Shat Michael Myers Mask For Sale!

Reading Time: 2 minutes New mask has been posted for sale!

Reading Time: 2 minutes




$1,150.00
SOLD!!!!



UPDATE! September 2018;
NEW MASK AVAILABLE; JC/NAG 98 Proto

JC/NAG 98 Proto

I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking if I have any other Myers masks available. A new one has been posted, and you can view it here, or click the image above.


Up for grabs is the infamous NightOwl Shat, fully converted and finished by the master himself, Mr. JC, James Carter. The “Shat” is a replica of the original Don Post Captain Kirk mask that was used to create the legendary ghostly face of one Michael Myers we all had nightmares about after viewing the original 1978 classic, Halloween. This “blank” mask, as it’s often referred to, was sent to indy ace James Carter for conversion and finishing. James follows an extremely similar process as Tommy Lee Wallace performed on the original Kirk conversion in ’78. He expertly cuts the eyes and masterfully applies the paint to make it the viscerally ghoulish specter before adding the same type of hair found on the original Don Post masks of the 70’s.

Essentially, the JC Shat is one of the most accurate replicas of the original hero you can own. And here it is, without James’ current 3Β½ year wait!


*FREE SHIPPING in the United States. International buyers must contact me to make shipping arrangements. Insurance is optional and must be requested and paid by buyer prior to shipping.

*PRICE BREAKDOWN – For those not active in the independent Myers mask trade, you might wonder why the asking price for this piece seems high. Here’s a quick rundown: the blank Shat was purchased at a price point of $300. The conversion/finishing job by JC was $230. JC’s current wait time to have a mask converted/finished is right around 3Β½ years.

This piece was commissioned by JC in December 2017, and is brand new. I am the only owner. Condition is mint and the inside of the mask has been powdered to fully preserve the latex. Mask is resting in thin plastic while stuffed with plastic-sealed cotton to fully preserve it’s shape. I guarantee it’s full quality and condition. Lastly, if you wish to save $30.18, a private PayPal transaction is also an option. Contact me for details.
