The Mask (1961) fucks hard. Canadian psycologist really said "This mask drove one of my patients into madness and as soon as I put it on, I was taken into a full sensory hallucination with fireball throwing priests in one of the best unearthly set designs that legitimatly captures the feeling of being trapped in horryfing reality not meant for human comprehension. This will do WONDERS for the field of psychiatry."

"I must. I must experience the greatest act of a human mind: to take another life".

The Mask (dir. Julian Roffman, 1961).

What happens when you mix psychiatry, addiction metaphors, surrealism and electronic music? The first Canadian horror movie* and full length 3D** fiction film, THE MASK (1961)! The film comes from director Julian Roffman and stars Paul Stevens and Claudette Nevins. Hear about the origins of Canadian film, LSD usage in psychiatry, and more!

* yes we know the "first Canadian horror film" is technically THE WEREWOLF from 1913, but it's a lost film so chill

** 3D was experimented with in shorts so this is also technically not the first 3D Canadian movie, hence the hedging with full length fiction lmao
