Hey all
I wanted to post pics of my Fly mask based on how it appeared in the 1958 classic, The Fly. The "feelers" are made with real feathers like the original prop Ben Nye created when working on the original film starring Vincent Price. The mouth piece has a wooden rod sticking out from behind that inserts neatly into simulated puckered lips like David Hedison's. He held this piece in his mouth and wiggled it to give that weird effect. The hair is also completely hand punched. Eyes are vac formed plastic. Also made a claw to complete the set.
