The Jimmy Carr mask is defs the spookiest. Imagine just hearing his laugh faintly on the wind as you walk through the darkness and then you look around to see 19:45 leering back at you in the distance
theres always something more sinister about a human face thats just slightly offputting, with a metallic or giraffe face our brain can make out patterns which allow us to decipher it, however with a human face our brain struggles because we are so close to what we know, but just a little off

I’m so happy how well this channel has aged, every video is like a blast to the past when I was young and I’m glad to see your sense of humour and style hasn’t changed. Keep up the good work and Happy Halloween!
“bend and shake to activate”...i know the feeling. Haha! 😆😜 11:01 whoa! i wasn’t expecting that. It was very quick but i saw it.haha! you sir, make me laugh. I quite enjoy the subtle humor in your videos. Very cheeky 😉🙂
Whenever my kids hear the Ashens intro, they stop what they're doing and watch the video with me. They don't know what this channel is called, they don't laugh or speak during the videos, and when it's over they go back to whatever they were doing. All I know is that when the intro plays, everything stops for the Ashens video 🤷🏻♀️
True horror is what happens to you eventually if you go around in 2020-2021 WITHOUT a mask -- in the US where a third of the population refuses the vaccine.
The first thing I thought of when you showed that evil clown is "oh look, it's Mr. Bungle" I would mod it to play Quote Unquote on repeat to scare random passerbys. Also the shiny robot face looks like some marketing robot went "SYNTHWAVE IS COOL LET US CAPITALISE $$$"
The last few years have seen a flood of the skeletal animals in shops around Halloween, and they *always* have the ears on them... Doesn't matter if it's a rat, or a cat, or a dog, or whatever. Doesn't matter if it's a cheapy dollar store one or a fairly high end expensive one in a home decor shop. Always have the ears. So stupid. Ruins the whole effect, I find.
I saw a spider skeleton on a tv review about Halloween decerations etc...spiders don’t have skeletons, have an exoskeleton on the outside of their bodies! 🤦🏻♀️
@Most Deadest Pool of em All. now I'm imagining like a massive ossuary full of bajillions of spiders made from human bones and it's... pretty terrifying
The robot mask reminds me of Andross in the original Starfox. I kinda wanna get that mask, but I don't think people would appreciate me spitting squares at them.
I feel like the rabbit is too obviously threatening to really work as a mask in horror. Comes off like the villain is going "OI LOOKIT ME, I'M RIGHT SPOOKY AIN'T I?".
I never thought Poundland would teach me a vocab word lol. "cloche" I'm a teacher and have an MA in English so I havegood reason to be a bit ashamed I think 😁😑
It's a french word, so... It means bell. '' Ça cloche '' means '' there is something wrong ''. '' Une cloche '' means too a kind of loser. Now, you have a MA in cloche.
18:40 I have that giraffe mask, me and my friend bought some and just walked around a castle, scaring the crap out of other people. If you scrunch the mouth bit in it looks hilarious.
I think the first mask was pretty good from a more realistic standpoint, very purge -like. The rabbit mask was pretty good too but I laughed so hard at the giraffe mask😂😂😂
The face reminded me of the old Playstation mascot Polygon Man. Also, I think the specific camera you used for the scariness contest, the light-up mask looks the most unsettling as the light bleed you pointed out as a negative actually illuminates just enough of the features behind the lights to give you an impression that something is there, but not enough to actually make it out, and as such it triggers my brain's "fear of the unknown" response.
Nothing says Halloween like IT, Shrek, bat mammaries, an evil rat, Jimmy Carr, Andross, and a furry. Carr wins the mask contest in my book, but the giraffe would probably be the most unnerving in a Purge-type situation.
Those light masks can be pretty cool, I think depending on the quality of the tubing, I've seen some with less bleeding that were pretty bright at night. The biggest issue with them is that you have a bar of light in front of your eyes so you can't see anything at all at night...
Ashens, the first Englishman not to mention Weed, Tulips, Cheese or bloody Windmills when talking about my country in a video. Instead, mallows. You, sir, are an absolute legend.
Disappointed they didn't call the clown Poundwise.

He's just so calm and collected whilst committing violent acts.

It probably involves shotguns.

@@rudimentaryganglia you forgot the drawn out "haaaaah" at the end
@@jarvismarsh5381 The giraffe kinda reminded me of Baphomet xD

Agreed, the "(In)human face" is the creepiest one.
I can hear that polygon mask. " Where did you learn to fly?"
Avgn
"Where did YOU learn to be an ASShole?"
I was too scared to watch after that jumpscare :(
@Joe Parker but we don't know if the rest of the video is gonna be like that too
Yea it's not like Ashens to put something that terrifying in his videos, I was kinda shocked he did that😕
its a poundland special where he doesn’t put on a vajazzle, so you’re not missing that much.
@@froderickalabaster Jesus, stop spoiling it for others.

That's exactly what I thought too lol.
Its awesome looking and for a dollar I'd gladly buy that to hand up on my wall somewhere lol.
Dow Jones I might need your profile pic for research purposes
the Simon Pegg mask is the most horrifying. reminds me of a bloke who sits on a brown sofa on his porch at Halloween giving out Easter mallows.
That rat is clearly Terry Pratchett's the Death of Rats. It just needs a mini scythe.
...and a turnip to wee on.
I was thinking that myself. Also needs a tiny cloak, though. Could be good for a Susan Sto Helit costume.
I've bought 2 that I'm hoping to run some LED lights into and make up a cloak and scythe so that I can have him sat on my shoulder next discworld con
@@ravenssoul1987 Awesome idea, Death of Rats is one of my favourite characters.

“Evil Macarena Rat” would be a good name for a band.

No, they must _never_ play Macarena or do anything remotely evil, otherwise the band name loses all its ironic hipster cred.

"Look, it's all stripy and lovely"
*shows clown outfit covered in spots*
I was hoping someone would say this 😂
I don't know about other people but when I saw that metallic mask at 16 mins in. I see Andross from the Snes Star fox.
Yes, same.
LOL That was my fist immediate thought! I'm happy I'm not the only one who thought that.
Glad more people thought the same
Now that you mention it
Yeah
Absolutely.
“Eye-pleasing lump of rubber” was also my nickname in high school
"Cloche" is French for "bell", and there are plants that are cultivated "sous cloche", that is to say "under a glass bell", for a greenhouse effect.
But in France, they change their names to English.
The German word for "bell" is "Glocke" , there are some similarities :D

I was like "Why would a rabbit offer GIFs to people, wtf?" bc I had mercifully forgotten about any other word that sounds like that mispronounciation.
Honestly surprised how spooky the yiff mask really was 🤣
There's no mistaking its intent, even in the dark.

I really like that rubber ducky. Also, that metallic mask kind of reminds me of Andross from the Star Fox series.
Nothing says Halloween like IT, Shrek, bat mammaries, an evil rat, Jimmy Carr, Andross, and a furry.
Carr wins the mask contest in my book, but the giraffe would probably be the most unnerving in a Purge-type situation.
Jimmy Carr is the most generically terrifying but if someone in the giraffe mask said your name in the semidark, you'd literally shit yourself.
Thank you Ashens you bring a little bit of joy to this bleak existence.
