demon mask

Scary costume face

A demon mask is a mask depicting a demon, devil, or malevolent supernatural creature—typically featuring horns, fangs, fierce expressions, or exaggerated features meant to frighten.

Such masks appear in traditional Japanese Noh and festival performances, Halloween costumes, and various cultural rituals where they may ward off evil spirits or represent chaotic forces: The dancer wore a red demon mask with curved horns.
