The music was always so foreboding contrasting the fun sense of humor that the movie actually had. It kind of made the mask appear as a more enigmatic artifact with possibly a dark origin. Maybe it's a nod or hint at the violent nature of the comics.
It actually did have a dark origin from what I can discern. According to a deleted scene, the Vikings brought the Mask to what would later become Edge City _just to get rid of it._ And considering Dr. Newman's analysis of the mask in the middle of the film (possibly connected to Loki, who was banished by Odin), they more than likely had a good reason.
For those who don't know. There is actually a deleted scene at the beginning of the film of Vikings burying the chest with the mask in the "New World." Old lady screaming for Loki to buzz off. That kinda stuff. If you watch it and play this, the song actually syncs with the scene to a pinpoint:)
I saw that on the DVD extras. I'm glad they removed it, it feels really out of place. It's mysterious, but not relevant like the actual intro we got. The other deleted scene, I wish they kept. It's the one where Peggy tries to leave the newsroom after getting her money and Dorian throws her into the newspaper machine like he was going to do with Stanely before turning him over to the police.
The mask is a mysterious artifact, after all. I think that needed a serious reminder somehow. Against the constant, recurring theme of cartoons, bright colors, whacky mayhem, and stupid, cheesy, one-liners, I love how THIS piece of music, right here, reminds the audience that the mask is not something to be trifled with, since it gives the user these incredible abilities. Great, epic music.
Kateofthecity that's what I love about movies like this. When their soundtracks tell a story including the ones without a lyric. This soundtrack gives me chills listening to it just like it did when I saw this when I was young. Great fun movie with excellent storytelling
And I thought Madoka Magica was the only anime that shows colors on the outside yet it shows how dark and tragic it can be when choosing to become a magical girl and it traumatized me
This really brings me back to pre-school and Kindegarten honestly. My parents tell me that I used to watch this movie a ridiculous amount of times, so it always holds a special place in my heart.
It's great to hear a full, extended version of this song. If the Mask was truly possessed by the spirit of Loki, one can truly catch a glimpse of the majesty and essence of Valhalla itself! Superb.
C maj, E min, G#sus2, F#sus2 Damn, I could listen to that progression forever! I remember when I saw this movie in the theater way back in ‘94, heard that part, and was like “whoa!”
Norse mythology is one of inconsistencies and half-truths, but there's ONE legend that has a small amount of evidence, yet this myth is open to interpretation. A lost tribe of Vikings in Iceland believed Loki, the "Norse God of Mischief", committed one final injustice against his family. He made a tool that would allow him to treat any mortal as his puppet. Into this artifact, he poured his hatred, dishonor, and defiance (in short, his whole wicked nature). He dubbed his creation... "The Mask", possibly the "most powerful object in all creation", for any who wear this facial decor will gain the "powers" of the false Norse gods, but ultimately eats the wearer's soul slowly as the price. When Odin, Loki's father, found out about this, he cast his own son into the mortal world... However, in an effort to get the last laugh, Loki made the Mask indestructible. No magic or physical strength could destroy it, so it was tossed into the mortal realm, known as Earth. There it remains, locked from mortal hands... UNTIL NOW!
0:27 is the moment I get chills. That is the theme that captures the mood of this movie so perfectly. Kind of cartoonlike but with a dark and threatening shadow over everything. I like to think that the story is mostly funny and goofy only because the mask was found by a guy like Stanley Ipkiss. Had it been found in the first place by Dorian or someone like him, we’d have a horror movie in our hands. 🥶
The music is much longer than what wound up in the movie. That's because there is an entire deleted scene of Leif Erikson burying the Mask in America to get rid of its curse.
I love this movie from the bottom of my heart, but the atmosphere of darkness and mystery that this theme has makes me wish that there was a more fateful adaptation of the original comics.
they should make a Requel. Remember His character was a fan of cartoons and that's what came out of him when he put the mask on. What if this new guy lovers horror movies. How awesome and terrifying would that be????!!!!!!
I love this soundtrack especially the origin of the mask, I know it barley had anything to do with the comic but I love how it just brings our the Tone of the movie. It's dark in some cases but overall is a comical movie, Jim Carey was a EXCELLENT CHOICE! I don't know who could play the role better then him tbh. The practical effects that they used instead of CGI for the mask where amazing, to this day it still looks amazing. I would love for them to make A REAL sequel to the mask instead of that piece of shit son of the mask.
It’s an exact replica of the mass, they had the mold, carving and everything. So it’s an exact replica shown from the movie, just made out of different material like resin. I fucking love it.

If you do I'd be well haps. I'd offer something in return from my skillset. Even if it was just a doodled sheet music. There's absolutly nothing available for it which is strange. SOmetimes I wonder if it's the instrument which makes it sound as it does or whether a generic string ensemble will work. Or piano.
If you do a search for "The Mask Jim Carrey Poster" and see this kind of image seen above, you might notice something is off. None of the images I found show Jim holding his hat with two hands like the one seen above. They only show him holding the front of the hat but not the back. I wonder why?
Just watched this with my kids an it still holds up I even loved the animated series as child. I used to do so many impressions from this with my brothers, one of my favorites as a kid.. gonna try to cover this on guitar. Check my channel in a few days
90's was the peak for movie soundtracks.
The 90s had that veil of magical, mysterious and romantic, like The Mask :)
That beginning of the theme always hit
😵💫😭👏
This music hits deep. The mysterious, mischievous feel of this movie/scene was perfectly capture through this song
0:27 That trumpet (?) score sounds right out of a comic book. I love it!
You hear music coming out of comic books?
@@maxcardun More like a comic book adaptation, like Tim Burton's Batman

It’s a French Horn from what I can tell.

If it was real life Jim Carrey's character would have been sent back to jail for assaulting a police officer and taking a police officer hostage.
The best intro ever 😍🤩
Nostalgia
This really brings me back to pre-school and Kindegarten honestly. My parents tell me that I used to watch this movie a ridiculous amount of times, so it always holds a special place in my heart.
I love this! It’s a mixture of ominous, whimsical, and adventurous.
The movie hasn't even started yet and the music is already awesome. Seriously though great film.
This is incredible. With these powers I can be: A SUPER HERO! I can fight crime. Protect the innocent. WORK FOR WORLD PEACE!...... But first.
Hold on to your lug nuts! It's time for an overhaul!

I think he’s trying to communicate 🔊
So moving. Even as a child I felt stirred by the themes in this. To me, this music really conveyed the magic and grimness of it all.

One of my favorite movies and favorite scores. Love The Mask!
🎭💚🎭
I always loved this track.
0:34 - Always bugged me that this piece isn't actually in the movie anywhere.
My favorite movie
Considering that the mask transforms the one who wears it in an inmmortal " Joker" with superpowers, this theme fits perfectly well.
The music is much longer than what wound up in the movie. That's because there is an entire deleted scene of Leif Erikson burying the Mask in America to get rid of its curse.
Watching Beverly Hills Ninja and couldn't help but feel like the music sounds similar to this when they find the baby
I loved this soundtrack in my childhood and still loving it now! :D
thanks for upload all The Mask's songs man! :)
cofcofpretepanecofcof
Nostalgia is heavy right now!
This theme would also work for a reboot that is more “faithful” to the source material.
Definitely ominous for the “Big Head Killer”.
What people don’t know is this is longer than the film version because. They had deleted Scenes with loki being downcast and hence the mask
Epic!
Sounds like something out of A Beautiful Mind at the beginning I love it 😍😍
Gracias por los songs de la máscara ame mucho ese gesto suyo!!!!
The only no-name, no-brand comic book superhero movie that worked.
Well it was based on a comic book, just not from marvel or dc
