Trick or treat is for kids. Once you grow up, most of the fun of Halloween is in pushing the limits from scary to grotesque.

Post-Gazette staff reporter Dan Majors wanted something a little bit different to wear for Halloween this year. He wanted a mask of himself.

So Mr. Majors visited Specter Studios in Sharpsburg, where he had his head molded, cast in clay and turned into a grimacing Dan Majors' mask.
