Costume store selling ‘Barackula’ Obama vampire mask for Halloween

Published



Are you having trouble deciding between Hillary Clinton and a zombie for your Halloween costume this year? Well, a North Carolina costume store has you covered.

Morris Costumes in Charlotte, N.C., is selling various spooky masks that combine politics and monsters for a truly horrific Halloween impression.

The masks include “Barackula,” which finds the common ground between President Obama and Dracula, and “Hillary from the Black Lagoon,” which enhances Hillary Clinton’s features with puke-colored skin and tusks.

There’s also “Reaganstein,” “George W. Bush of the Apes” and “Sarah [Palin] Rogue Zombie” masks that all put spooky spins on the politicians of today and yesterday.

And, if you want all the politician without the monster, there are more smiley, less sinister masks of Obama, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, and Bill and Hillary Clinton.

One mask that doesn’t appear to be too popular this year, though, is the Romney mask.

As The Hill reports, store manager Jim Lawrence recently described himself as “a little bit concerned about Mitt” due to the mask’s unpopularity.

“I hear talk that there’s a possibility that he might run again,” Lawrence said of the former Republican presidential candidate. “If he doesn’t run, then here I got Mitt Romney masks that I’m probably going to have a hard time getting rid of.”

Perhaps trick-or-treaters are too enamored with Count Barackula to give the Mitt mask a whirl.

On Friday, we’ll see if the brave Baracks have any problem taking candy from unhappy voters.
