"45 minutes... of this." lol Great season opener, Ray. I enjoyed the hell out of this. I didn't know what you meant by foaming when you initially mentioned it, but man when you brought out those foamed masks, what a difference! Great job on the history too. You always make the back story so interesting and it brings so much to the items you're showing. Nicely done as always. Looking forward to another season with you.
Thank you for watching!
Welcome back, so glad a new season begins again
Thank you!
Happy Halloween! Thanks for another great episode! I've been watching your episodes for about a year now, and I'm happy to see some examples of the foamed masks!
Thank you!
Happy Halloween, Raymond! I've been eagerly awaiting the return of The Basement of Horror; it was well worth the wait. Great episode; very informative, and it brought back fun memories from when I was a kid. I hope we see a cameo from Billy in a future episode.
Thank you! Billy will show up eventually.
Great video and so happy to see you back in action for the new season!
Thank you, Penny!
Welcome Back Sir. My favorite series of Halloween videos on CZcams! Happy happy Halloween
Thank you!
Love your shirt & all the orange in your frame for this episode 🎃 Good information- glad youre back!
Thank you!
Great episode, thanks Ray!
Thank you!
Thanks for the new season Raymond! Looked forward to this all summer. Basement of Horror has become a Halloween staple.
Thank you!
I was actually going to post something to your FB page asking about those old thin latex masks you could find at Ben Franklin's and the like. I have such great memories of digging through bins of those back in the late 70's and early '80's and had hoped to find a video showing some. Until your video, I couldn't find anything on CZcams about them and assumed it was likely due to the fact none had survived. It's good to see some did. you should definitely preserve what you have left. Who else besides Bayshore would have made those ultra thin/cheap latex/rubber masks I fondly remember?
I think you probably saw Topstone masks at Ben Franklin. Could have been Bayshore. But Topstone was the king of cheap masks tossed into wire bins at the dime store.
Very cool! I don't think that I knew that Bayshore was from New Bedford. That's just down the highway from me and we're there fairly often. Awesome to find out that a big part of Halloween history is so local.
Thank you!
Yesss!!! Thank you, Ray!!! I don't really know anything about Bayshore. I am so content.
Thank you!
So glad to see you in my feed. Informative and enjoyable. Thank you.
Thank you!
Fascinating! Happy for the new season!
Thank you!
Another awesome video, Ray ! I'm happy for the start of a new season, and looking forward to some more interesting videos.
I don't really collect vintage masks, but I still love learning about them, and getting to see all the super cool examples that you have in your collection.
Thank you!
Good to see you with a new show.Looking forward to a new season.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed this!
Thank you!
That was great! Very informative and I think going from worst shape to the best shape masks was really effective! Thanks for this Halloween treat!
Thank you!
Fantastic episode. Welcome back, Raymond
Thank you!
Glad you’re back! This is an awesome topic, as I found a great ‘60s Bayshore pumpkin bucket out in the wild a few months ago and wanted to know a little more about the company.
Thank you!
Happy Halloween! Great to see you back with a new episode of Basement of Horror. I’m not a real big mask collector, but it was interesting to learn about these examples. It even inspired me to care about Bayshore masks and be on the lookout for them. Also good to know that there are others that like the bag crinkling sound too, lol. Unintentional ASMR host of the monster toy collecting world.
Thank you!
great video Ray.
Thank you!
So glad a new season has begun! Welcome back!
Thank you!
He's back ! The man behind the masks ! Sorry , the Alice Cooper song kept going through my head while watching the video . Happy to see you back with a new season .
Thank you!
Awesome episode
Thank you!
What was the name of the masks used in the one Brady Bunch episode wherein they try to scare the girl's slumber party ? One was a half face Creature , one was a half face Phantom.
Those were Don Post masks. I don't know the series name/number, but it was a budget line. DP experts can give a more detailed answer.
For "budget" - they were NICE ! @@RaymondCastile
HOLA ! good to see you!
Thank you!
You should take the time to foam them all, and trim the rot off to preserve them.
49:32 Maybe you could even send them all to him to foam if you think it’ll be too daunting.
Yes, it would be very daunting to foam all of these. It would be a summer project, and I would have to just hope that I didn't ruin any of them. The guy who is the best at foaming old masks, Maskahuna, is semi-retired. He doesn't take on many new projects. And if he did foam these, it would easily cost me a grand to do all of them. A grand for masks that have almost no resale value is just not a responsible way to spend my limited funds. If they can all survive until next summer, maybe I can try to foam them myself.
The face on the Santa mask looks like Winter Warlock.
I don't know that character!
@@RaymondCastile That was the evil wizard character in Rankin/Bass Santa Claus is Comin to Town. Surely you must know him. Remember the song? Put one foot in front of the other.
Welcome back! I knew if I waited in this pumpkin patch long enough you would return. Heh. My friends that made fun of me…oh, will they be sorry!!!🖤🎃💀🕷️🦇👻🎃🧡
Thank you!
Can that foam be purchased at Home Depot ??? ??? I feel like I have seen a PINK version.....
No, I wouldn't use any foam from the hardware store for filling masks.
30:33 why don’t you take out the staples to prevent further rotting
In the case of that skull, it seems the staples are not the problem. The rubber is generally aging all over. That's why you see the marbling on the inside. But as for the other masks, most of those staples are heavy duty, industrial style. You can't cut them easily without damaging the surrounding rubber. When I do remove them, I typically have to cut the rubber to get them out. They're not like office staples that you can just bend and pull off. That skull has a different style of fastener, more like a clasp, so I probably could just pop those out.
The great thing about these masks is --- NOBODY has any clue of the REAL value . About 7 years ago - I got a Topstone "classic devil" in , MINT SHAPE at a flea market for $5.00 (!!!!) Also got a deteriorating rubber "Girl Vampire" for $3.00 . Sold it - and the guy that bought it TRIED to "revive" it - but it crumbled.
Did you sell the Devil? Most of my masks were purchased cheaply. I wouldn't have been able to build this collection otherwise. People have caught on that Topstone masks are "valuable," though they always mis-price them, trying to get a fortune for worthless masks and selling high-dollar masks for cheap. But people are clueless about Bayshore masks.
Sold it on eBay . @@RaymondCastile
Any plans to do more tomb of topstones videos?
I would like to do a few more. Skull, Devils, Male/Female vampires, Creep Beat. They require a lot of time and work.
Was bayshore ever in the condom business alot of condoms from that era practically disintegrated upon impact ?
I didn't read anything about condoms, but who knows!
Let’s gooo!!!!

I'm glad you enjoyed that moment!
