Was this shown on tv in early 80s? A remake?( not Carrey version) - @Wednesday, August 8, 2018 1:52 PM

The mask looks like the mask that gramps from “house 2 the second story” was buried in!?! I wonder if it is the mask and they payed tribute to this movie or just something similar - @Sunday, July 22, 2018 1:21 AM

I saw this film at the theater in 3-D when I was 10 and it scared the shit out of me! - @Thursday, April 12, 2018 12:09 AM

Amazing and definitely “of its time”. Saw it back in the day and it scared the shit out of me. The fantasy sequences are quite surreal and imaginative. Deserving of its reputation. - @Friday, October 13, 2017 9:52 PM

I wonder if this in some way inspired the comic book of the same name, which was later adapted into the more popular Jim Carrey movie we all know of today. - @Monday, January 9, 2017 1:21 AM

kinda cornball? even today the 3D sequences of this picture are completely berserkowitz. Besides, anyone who's suffered through this gem in its entirety can say they've been "Vorkapitched." - @Tuesday, October 11, 2016 5:11 AM

Poor Dr. Radin...THE MASK takes over his life and he becomes a vicious murderer. But he shows a woman THE MASK near the end of the movie. He says,"What do you see?" She says,"I see NOTHING,NOTHING". - @Friday, July 22, 2016 11:23 PM

One of my all-time favorite Canadian films! I always put on my 3-D glasses when he says "put the mask on now" and then I trip out to the ultra surreal visions... - @Monday, November 16, 2015 3:18 AM

Now I want to see a movie based on the guy who sat on an ostrich egg for 19 days. - @Sunday, November 15, 2015 4:56 AM

Great to see the always knowledgable and enthusiastic Joe Dante commenting on genre film history ! I've seen a few write up on this movie ( tied to its new release on home video ) and nobody really mentions it but the mask in the original comic book "The Mask" looks a lot like the mask in this movie. - @Sunday, November 15, 2015 3:05 AM

I have THE MASK on order. I have an 8ft wide movie screen with a Benq 3D vp, 50,000 to 1 contrast ratio. I also have recently bought Joe's THE HOLE in 3D and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the jester clown doll. Joe's movie is thoroughly recommended. - @Saturday, November 14, 2015 11:30 PM
