The Mask (released in other English-speaking countries as "Eyes of Hell"), the 1961 Julian Roffman Canadian horror thriller ("This is the mask! You will be given one on entering the theatre. You will be told when to look through it."; "When you do, it will make you part of the desire-fuming brain of a monstrous genius of insanity. You will live with the living dead. You share what no living person has known before."; "...but you must put on The Mask"; "The greatest thrill since you first saw a picture move!"; "Look through your mask... If you can't take it... Take it off!"; "The management is not responsible for nervous breakdowns!"; "Only when you put on the Magic Mystic Mask will you know what can come off a movie screen*"; "*When you enter the theatre you will be given a mask. Be sure to look through it as directed. It is your key to a sensational new motion picture thrill!"; "...You may never get over what you see when you put on The Mask"; "Only the motion picture screen could bring you this brand new entertainment idea!"; "IMPORTANT!!! When you enter the theatre you will be handed a Magic Mystic Mask. Then each time the man in the picture puts on his mask - you look through yours - for the shock of your life!"; "This is from Dr. Barnes who didn't believe in the hypnotic evil of THE MASK until he put it on!"; "If the terror's too much for you ...The Mask has been especially designed for instant removal!"; this was a movie with a "William Castle-like" gimmick, which was a pair of glasses that you were supposed to wear during especially terrifying scenes, and which created a "depth dimension") starring Paul Stevens, Claudette Nevins, Bill Walker, Anne Collings, and Martin Lavut

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of a two-page spread from inside of the pressbook (we do NOT picture any supplements or heralds, if there are any included with this pressbook), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut!
