Buying Guide
Set up a budget to keep in mind before purchasing any elements of the costume. There are other important factors in the costume aside from the mask, so have an idea of what clothing and accessories are needed and how much they cost. If possible, bring these items along when purchasing the mask to get an idea of how the costume looks all together. Be sure that the mask is comfortable and does not restrict motion, breathing, and that the vision is fine from both eye holes. Those who have latex allergies should not purchase a latex or part latex mask.US Consumer Product Safety Commission: Halloween Safety: Safety Alert eHow: How to Choose Halloween Masks
