Bob Basset's red dragon mask is perfect for your next [Halloween](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx) or Dragon Heart cosplay party. This mask looks creepily lifelike.

I've never seen a dragon before, but I imagine that if I did it would look something like this. All of Bob Basset's masks that we've featured before on Trend Hunter (check below) have been awesome, but the red dragon mask takes the cake. Nothing is scarier than a dragon. Not even a [leather ALF mask](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aesthetic-skin-led-face-mask).
