The items under consideration are face coverings designed to resemble the likeness of Herman Munster, a character from the 1960s television program, The Munsters. These coverings are typically worn during Halloween celebrations or at costume parties. Construction materials often include latex, vinyl, or plastic. An example would be a full-head latex covering accurately depicting the character’s distinct forehead, skin tone, and neck bolts.
These representations offer a readily recognizable and iconic embodiment of classic monster television. They present a convenient and relatively inexpensive means of assuming a Halloween persona connected to nostalgic pop culture. Historically, demand for related merchandise has fluctuated with revivals of interest in the source material through syndication, home video releases, and anniversary events.
