GHOSTFACE - The true history behind the Scream mask
Added 2023-10-12 15:20:33 +0000 UTCHappy Halloween everyone! And happy release day, too!
The video is still worryingly doing copyright checks, fingers crossed all goes well but if not - I'll have to upload the actual video to Patreon before doing some re-edits on the video.
This video was SO much fun to do, and totally fit in well with the spooky vibes of this month. I genuinely can't believe I'd never heard of the history behind the mask before! Can you imagine creating one of the most famously known masks in the WORLD, and not getting paid for it... Not getting recognised... Not getting credited?!
I was absolutely mind-blown after reading this, and felt it was only fair to do a video on such to hopefully highlight the issues to more people, so as the rightful creators at least get ... Some recognition?
Let me know your thoughts on the video! I edited it to not be as scary as possible and I hope that comes across, as I know not many are horror fans.
I'm going to start working on the Fool Night video next and I'm hoping to get that out relatively soon!
Stay spooky!

Wow, that is pretty blatant given the history and comments from folks... just shamefully money/fame/power hungry. I had no idea it was even a contentious thing! The fact that things like this just get swept under a rug and silenced is sad. Thanks for making the video and trying to get the truth out there, these kind of things should be more well known. At least sometimes it's made public and companies are forced to do something about it or at the very least they get exposed/shamed to some degree. Even the big companies can't find workers who won't plagiarize and/or steal; like with Marvel and the Werewolf by Night poster from just last year (it's obvious from just the teeth because the original design had them overlapping but the plagiarized design opened the mouth but kept the overlapped bottom teeth cutout [not understanding artistic intent]). Or Disney and the Star Wars posters from years ago, though that was less tracing and more just lifting all the design elements, still pretty blatant and wrong though.
