Part of the memeage of the horse mask may have to do with the mask’s slightly crazed appearance, as if you’re seeing what the kid from Equus saw right before he went crazy with the hoof pick.

So this ad, entirely in English, aired during a Swedish version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Seems legit.

A pick up game? You’d think they’d play horse instead…

I love those horse masks. The Amazon reviews and user posted photos are priceless, though I can’t quite bring myself to buy one.

I’m fairly sure that Archie McPhee wasn’t selling that mask in 1992.

Also, it’s interesting that Archie McPhee sells the mask for significantly less through Amazon than from their own catalog.
