Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Leatherface's (Andrew Bryniarski) Hero Mask

original movie costume

During 1969, the height of the Vietnam War, two young brothers (Eric & Dean) are spending a last weekend with their girlfriends (Chrissie & Bailey) before being shipped overseas to the war. At the same time, the only major business- a meat-packing plant - goes out of business. One of the men who works in the plant is Thomas Hewitt - a deformed, demented psychopath who will become known as Leatherface - finds out what is happening and he savagely murders the foreman of the plant. The two young men and their girlfriends are headed down a lonely highway when they are involved in an accident that cripples their vehicle. Soon they encounter the sheriff - who is not really the sheriff but the psychopathic uncle of Leatherface - and he kidnaps 3 of them to take them to his home for the developing monster Leatherface to "refine" his murderous abilities and what follows is a night of sheer terror at the hands of a family of cannibalistic, inbred psychopaths.

From the 2006 film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre:The Beginning...this is the screenused Leatherface mask worn by Andrew Bryniarski as his roll as Thomas Hewett or Leatherface.

This grusome mask is made to resemble the cut and peeled skin face of Eric "Matt Bomer" who's face is carefully removed by Leatherface after being brutally murdered by Leatherface. The mask can be seen as Leatherface "Andrew Bryniarski" takes Eric's freshley cut and peeled face to his work table and sews the pieces together to make a fitting face mask of human flesh for himself to wear to cover his own disfigured face.

This mask is blood red on the inside and can be matched up as Leatherface takes the mask off the table and puts it on his face for the first time. In addition, every cut and stitch is a dead on match to the mask used throughout the film.
