Back then the main street was all individual shops including the Magic shop which I think sold masks, but it could have been at the haunted mansion. Anyway I got this mummy mask that was just the coolest, half mask. I have never found evidence of it online, and I have no idea whatever happened to mine. Anyone have any shots of one? Or shots of the shops at Disney from that period, late 70's early 80's.

Not sure if they were actually Post creations, but I sure recall them bearing a pretty good resemblance. Unfortunately, during my teen years, I never carried a camera.

Mine was a half head mummy mask with brownish/yellowish "bandages" but with a lot of greenish face skin showing in the front. Is that it? I must have tried on every mask in the place until I settled on that one. That wouldn't be a big deal, but I had open, oozing poison ivy sores on my face at the time. Ahhh, childhood.

I remember looking at masks and hands of the Metaluna Mutant and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. I didn't have enough money to buy these, but I bought a realistic rubber iguana instead. I also remember the clerk continuously demonstrating magic tricks the whole time I was in the shop. The Disneyland shop was different from most magic/novelty shops because it didn't carry practical jokes of questionable taste (fake vomit, whoopee cushions, cocktail glasses with sleazy pin-ups) like in the Johnson-Smith catalogs. It was all family-friendly items of high quality.
