Oh, absolutely! The “Mortal’s Mask” began as a simple carved wooden relic in the northern woods, then an old legend got twisted by a mid‑century horror director who turned it into a latex nightmare. On set we see a hundred variations, each with its own continuity quirks. I always pull out my vintage mask collection and whisper, “Do you remember the original?” because the story needs a proper narrative frame, not just a cheap scare. Have you seen the original wooden one? It’s a different kind of terror.
