I've seen some ads on social for 'scary old man' silicon masks that look AMAZING, which be great for Halloween. Are they actually that good, or just misleading marketing photos? Last year I bought one with good reviews (albeit rubber, not silicon) which was crud.

Luckily, I don't need an "old man" silicone mask nowadays.

In my 20s we took on a new office in a regus building, the old tenants left a load of stuff including an old man mask

They just don't look real at all. Seems they are initially putting on a mask but as they pull it down they just blend a real persons face onto the video.

It's May? The ultra-realistic ones are made by a specialist company and sell for $1,000. The ones you see for $25 are from China and look erm, crap.

How do you sweat while wearing one? Surely sweat runs down the inside and into your eyes.
