13 Best Horror Movie Masks

13. HONOURABLE MENTION: Frank - Donnie Darko

Arguably a film with horrific elements rather than a straight horror, it all boils down to your perception of Frank's mask.

The cult classic that is Donnie Darko has been around to confuse and inspire watchers for over 15 years, combining science fiction with a filmy nostalgia that's resulted in something entirely separate from other movie efforts both before and after release.

Whilst most of it plays out as an intelligent, angsty drama, there's a disturbing presence in the form of Frank: a man dressed in a rabbit costume that resembles no rabbit you will have ever seen before. Unless maybe you were on acid in the woods watching a Bugs Bunny halloween special, and even then, you'd probably have a nicer time than with this monstrosity.

There to deliver premonitions to Donnie, Frank wears a silver mask that's somewhere between rabbit and skull, a strange melding of the two that looks like it was left for too long next to the radiator before ending up on his head. The spiritual, unnerving tone of Frank's appearance only makes his presence that much more terrifying - and his unique mask hammers the nail home with each spine-tingling drop in.
