After much deliberation, we decided that the horse masks available did not give the uncanny effect we desire as they are so obviously plastic masks. We therefore contacted Annie Watson to ask whether we could borrow the stags head used in one of her films. She agreed and we went to collect the head.
The device needed a bit of TLC as it was bent out of shape and the antlers were loose. I therefore tightened the bolts and used a coke bottle to bend the snout into shape.
We believe this "mask" will add to the realism we wish to create within our piece and thus evoke feelings of the uncanny within the audience.
