‘Watchmen’ Rorschach Masks
Watchmen Rorschach Beanie Mask (click to enlarge)
I don’t know if this Watchmen Rorschach Beanie Mask is “cool” or just plain “freaky’, but either way I had to post it.
Rorschach is easily one of the coolest super-hero characters to ever grace the comic/film world. The character was created by Watchmen writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons. He wears this mask which displays morphing inkblots.
I’ve read the inkblots are said to reflect his emotions, although I’ve also read the inkblots are randomly generated based on the shapes used in the psychological “Rorschach inkblot test”, a test where subjects have their perceptions of what they see in inkblots analyzed.
Unfortunately the Rorscach Beanie Mask won’t morph into either of those possibilities, but it will freak people out I’m sure – especially if you find Rorschach’s hat to go with it.
I found this particular mask on eBay. At the time of posting there’s 9 days left on the auction with a Buy it Now price of only $11.99.
The Rorschach Beanie Mask isn’t the only way to cover up your face Rorschach style. Check out the image directly below of the Watchmen Deluxe Rorschach Movie Mask. This is arguably even more freaky/scary than the Beanie Mask.
Watchmen Deluxe Rorschach Mask
The Rorschach Deluxe Mask is finely made of latex and fits adult sizes. It advertises itself as able to “instantly transform you into a masked vigilante” which is kind of disturbing (and hilarious at the same time).
Grab it for $34.99 from Entertainment Earth.
Finally, if either of those two masks don’t tickle your wanna-be super-hero gland, then perhaps you’re in the market for a more traditional vigilante stocking based version.
Our good friends at Entertainment Earth can help out there too with the Watchmen Rorschach Stocking Mask:

To be honest, I think the Watchmen Rorschach Stocking Mask is probably the scariest of them all simply because it looks more like the kind of mask you’d expect to see on the guy standing in front of your local bank teller.
It too is made from latex.
You can grab it for $11.99 from Entertainment Earth.
Personally my favorite is the Rorschach Deluxe Mask but when it comes to the art of being a masked super-hero vigilante, whatever works for you.
