Tentacled God Balaclavas

The Cthulhu Knitted Ski Mask is a Kickstarter Fan Favorite

Fans of H.P. Lovecraft’s enthralling lore can now demonstrate their admiration during the winter months with their very own Cthulhu Knitted Ski Mask. The balaclava, being produced by Toy Vault, is a Kickstarter project that has easily surpassed its pledge goal, meaning Cthulhu enthusiasts everywhere will be able to get their acolyte hands the tentacled headgear before the cold weather kicks in. The only question is, how comfortable are you wearing ridiculous apparel?

The Cthulhu Knitted Ski Mask comes in one size that should fit all, is a bright green color and has a wicked brow that makes users look as though they’re constantly furious. Its design was inspired by an image on the Internet that went viral and it's made from high-quality synthetic yarns. Personally, I can’t wait to sport this menacing look.
