Special Movie Premiere

The Mask: Gone Viral

We’re thrilled to announce that The Mask: Gone Viral will be making an appearance at Forest Hills Comic Con! Brought to you by Laughing Hearse Entertainment, this high-energy fan film takes inspiration from the 1994 classic and reimagines it for today’s world, blending over-the-top comedy, slapstick action, and a modern twist on the legendary powers of the Mask.

About the Film: Madison, a struggling actress in New York, stumbles upon the Mask’s supernatural powers during a drunken escapade—catapulting her into instant viral fame. But with great power comes even greater chaos, as Madison finds herself navigating the unpredictable, cartoonish madness that comes with wearing the Mask. Expect wild transformations, physical comedy, and an electrifying ride that pays homage to the original film while standing on its own as an unforgettable experience.
