While the battle against COVID-19 continues, many places around the world require people to wear protective masks while in public. And when it comes to masks, the coolest one out there is Jason Voorhees' hockey mask. So special effects legend Tom Savini and his fellow effects artist Jason Baker have teamed up to create Jason-style personal protective equipment masks.
These "hockey mask PPEs" are made by a skeleton crew taking extra precautions, every one of them handcrafted and made-to-order. So some fans have even requested that their mask look like the one in the FRIDAY THE 13TH NES game.

Retro variant for my sister. Felt appropriate for all the hours we spent getting our asses kicked by that damn game back in the day. pic.twitter.com/6jmXkXQbUN

CBR reports that each mask goes for a price of $60. For $100, you can get a mask that has been signed by Savini.
Savini provided the FX that helped the original FRIDAY THE 13TH become one of the most popular horror films of all time. After creating the look of young Jason for that film, he later returned to the franchise to work with the adult, hockey mask wearing Jason on FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER.
Baker may be best known for the props and effects work he has done for various WWE shows and specials.
To learn how to get one of these Jason-style PPE masks for yourself, DM Baker (@bakingjason) on Twitter.
