The Sad Story of Ghostface's Mask
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- The Ghostface mask, showcased in Scream (and DBD), is a horror icon that is beloved by fans with people even collecting different versions of the mask and costume. But what many still don't know is how the original design for it was stolen by Fun World from an artist named Loren Gitthens. This video essay seeks to correct that by depicting its true origins.

Thanks so much for getting the story out there in such a impactful way! Just goes to show how a small idea can turn into something big
Wow, really glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much for your work and for speaking out about this in the first place!
Came for DBD, stayed because of the amazing history
Not gonna lie, I like your normal DBD content, but this is a pretty cool 2nd series, if you'd make it into that. We all know the plot and references of iconic killers in DBD, but the story of the IPs is a different beast itself and I feel like I haven't seen other content creators making things like this. Hopefully more in the future!
Oh I didn't consider something like making this a series of sorts
Will definitely have to think about that ty 🤔
@@LiussDBD i’ll watch every single video of it if you make it a series.
Thank you for covering this, I saw that same twitter thread when it came out at the time. I even went as Ghost Face this Halloween. Pretty sad how such an iconic mask was a stolen idea.
There’s something you have to take into account if you’re a mask collector like myself.. EVERY SINGLE mask company in the 80s and 90s ripped each other off all of the time. Be something knocked off topstone, Distortions knocked off Don post, etc. This was very common back in the day for companies to do and for the most part it was what it was. This didn’t usually affect really anyone except the artists who created it. And a lot of the artists that created this stuff knocked off other artists, it was the norm. Remember that the Micheal Myers mask was a spray painted Don post 75 Captain Kirk mask. Production definitely didn’t get the Star Trek rights to use that mask. When it comes to the case of the original weeping ghost I do agree that it was uncool of funworld to do what they did but it was the norm. They probably weren’t thinking about it on a very large scale. I do believe they created a much better product but the issue lies within how they deny the history. All Lauren wanted was to be credited by funworld.
The Icon of Halloween!! I'm a big fan of Ghostface, and Scream.
I love the fact that it's just a mask, something anyone could get... And anyone can wear the mask
Great video ✌️very sad to know the whole origin story
10:13
Ex spirit Halloween worker here! So what you said about walls of mask being copied by famous recent arts is sadly true.
The amount of mask I've seen that has obviously been ripped off from other people's work (eyeless jack, jeef the killer, momo, and creepy cat) are all sadly being sold and nothing is being done about it.
Also a spirit worker. It blows that everything is so corporate owned, and that the little guy is always stamped out.
@@jtlmusic8183 it really does suck that they do. But ngl it is funny sometimes when you see an obvs costume from popular brands also have a copy cate (I saw a couple of princes peach rip offs which imo is semi justified)
If you two work for spirit, how are you using your phones? You’re supposed to be hibernating right now until next Fall
@@McLovin-zf7wq I am speaking from the void 🗣
jeef the killer
aww man i had the funworld mask as a kid before scream even came out.No idea where it is now,bummer...
Artists are always getting their works ripped off in some way, seems like its been the same even before it happening all the time on the internet. Great video, very informative!
Tony is an absolutely amazing special effects artist
i was prepared for a lot of misinformation but was surprised to see everything was factual. great work
Great history breakdown, had no idea about any of this and thought the mask was designed for the film! Cheers!
Good and well made video keep the good work up :)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
It’s crazy how a movie made a mask famous.
Yo since there aren't a lot of comments here I'm just gonna say it. YOU SIR DO BOT GET ENOUGH CREDIT FOR WHAT YOU DO. You have videos with almost 1 million views and you don't have nearly enough subs. So I just wanna say. You deserve all the good coming for you
Thank you!
It's sometimes just a matter of waiting on the algorithm to keep on hitting but I'll keep on working still 😤
@@LiussDBD your welcome dude
this video is so well put together that i didn't even realise you were a dbd channel until 7:10 😅
I'm working on more stuff that is DBD adjacent, like spooky games and such 👀
Whats also nuts is burchbench himself made the silent screamer and the banshee weirdly they actually hired him i heard and still screwed him over even after collabing with funworld
At 1:22 you can see a Swamp Thing mask. Hopefully he doesn't believe this is his original creation, because it is definitely Swamp Thing.
Nice catch, I didn't notice that at first
I didn't show it clearly but in that same video, they also show off a bunch of Looney Tunes masks because they had a mask deal with Warner Brothers so that's probably why there's a Swamp Thing there.
It is a swap thing mask and was credited as such. Alterian studio's worked on the swap thing tv series

Fun world partnered up burkbenches
Amazing video.
0:40 Um, no, that's obviously Shaun White. I am looking through the comments wondering why everyone isn't saying that's clearly Shaun White.
