This Casey Anthony Latex Mask is a great option for those looking for a terrifying halloween costume this year to scare the neighborhood children. The mask was crafted by pop artist and sculptor Torro, and only 9 of these masks were made for the production of a movie based on Casey Anthony's trial. The accuracy of the mask and its details are truly frightening.
The mask has been put up for sale on eBay and the description under it reads " A significant piece of crime history. No matter what your opinion of the trial is, this is still one heck of a conversation piece." However, given the backlash that Casey Anthony and Casey Anthony look-a-likes have received, I would probably hold off wearing this in public -- especially near the New-York area.
