3. The Phantom of the Opera Mask
Now to go all culturally significant on your reading eyeballs. Yes, the Phantom of the Opera was a book at one time, also probably an opera. I mean, look at the title, it practically writes itself. Yet, it wasn't until Lon Chaney put on that half piece of porcelain/plastic back in 1925 in one of the first 'cultural' masterpieces of horror did your iconism really take off with the general public. Your opera mask has been worn by misunderstood romantics throughout the century who also happened to have been facially disfigured but still retain a love for music. Plus, you give people an excuse to wear tuxedos and capes together without coming across as 'out of touch'. And let's not forget those lazy teens on a limited budget that thought they were getting a Jason mask for a great deal.
