SLIPKNOT Masks Popular With Fans

Launch Radio Networks reports: Halloween may have come and gone, but you can still buy your very own SLIPKNOT mask and costume and save it for next October 31. Morbid Industries has created replicas of all nine SLIPKNOT members' masks, ranging in price from $29.99 to $49.99. There's also a generic SLIPKNOT costume for $59.99 that goes with all nine masks. SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison told Launch that these are the first SLIPKNOT masks that the band has officially approved. "You know, we found in, like, Europe, there's companies manufacturing our masks, and there's people that — I guess our fans — want them," he said. "And instead of, like, these companies that are ripping us off on slight altered versions of our masks, it's like, if someone's gonna be ripping us off, we need to have control of that. So we decided to go ahead and make the masks."

The masks and costume can be seen and ordered at MorbidIndustries.com.

As previously reported, one SLIPKNOT fan should have worn his mask for Halloween. According to the Auburn Journal, California's Placer County Jail was locked down last week when it was reported that a man in orange coveralls and shackles was seen getting into a car nearby. Thinking that an inmate had escaped, officials locked down the prison and did a head count, but accounted for everyone.

When police caught up with the car, it turned out that the man in the coveralls was dressed for a Halloween party. His girlfriend had bought him the coveralls so that he could go as a member of SLIPKNOT, but he took off the mask, slapped on the shackles, and decided to go as a convict instead.

SLIPKNOT resumed its tour over the weekend following the death of percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan's father. The band plays tonight (Monday, November 7) in Worcester, Massachusetts.
