That mask really is interestingly spooky. I wonder if there's an
online source. It would make an interesting alternative to the Guy
Fawkes one, and probably key in the Scilons more.

Or how about "Guy Montag", the lead character of Ray Bradbury's
Fahrenheit 451, as a mask in keeping with the enturbulaton.org Guy
Fawkes tradition:

Guy Montag his name suggests two significant possibilities—Guy Fawkes,
the instigator of a plot to blow up the English Houses of Parliament in
1605, and Montag, a trademark of Mead, an American paper company, which
makes stationery and furnaces.
November 4; the firemen play cards early on Mischief Day (November 4),
the eve of Guy Fawkes Day, when bonfires and burning of guys in effigy
commemorate his Gunpowder Plot, an abortive attempt to destroy James I
and his Protestant supporters, who oppressed Catholics."

Literature (potential fawkes inspired masks)
There are several references to Fawkes in popular literature, here are
the most noted examples, listed in chronological order.
* 1842: William Harrison Ainsworth - Guy Fawkes: A Historical
Romance, is a historical novel which portrayed Fawkes, and Catholic
recusancy in general, in a sympathetic light and began to challenge the
official depiction of the plot, one of the first to do so.[16]
* 1847: Charlotte Brontë - Jane Eyre, Jane is compared to Guy Fawkes
by Abbot with the line "a sort of infantine Guy Fawkes" because she
looked as though she was constantly plotting schemes. Brontë herself,
like Fawkes, was of Yorkshire origins.[17]
* 1850: Charles Dickens - David Copperfield, in order for Peggotty
to find money for Saturday's expenses, she "had to prepare a long and
elaborate scheme, a very Gunpowder Plot...", directly referencing the
Plot Fawkes was involved with."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_plot
* 1886: Herman Melville - Billy Budd, the novella mentions Fawkes in
the passage "The Pharisee is the Guy Fawkes prowling in the hid chambers
underlying the Claggarts".[19]
* 1925: T. S. Eliot - The Hollow Men, the epigraph of the Nobel
Prize winning poem directly alludes to Fawkes, "A penny for the Old
Guy".[20]
* 1953: Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451, the protagonist of the novel
is named Guy Montag directly after Guy Fawkes. In the story, the
character plans to start burning down the firemen's houses in order to
overthrow the government.[21]
* 1982: Alan Moore - V for Vendetta, the dystopian graphic novel of
a fascist Britain takes influence from the story of Fawkes. The story
revolves around the main character, V, who wears a stylised Guy Fawkes
mask.
* 1998: J. K. Rowling - Chamber of Secrets, the Harry Potter series
headmaster Dumbledore's phoenix is named Fawkes after the man.[22]"
Why throw out the mask baby with the mask bathwater? Take your 'Fawkes
inspired' pick!
