Jason's (Ken Kirzinger) screen-matched battle-damaged hockey mask and cowl from Ronny Yu's horror sequel Freddy Vs. Jason. Jason wore his iconic hockey mask throughout the film as he terrorised teenagers and battled Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund). The mask matches the one on-screen at the end of the film as Jason sinks slowly into the water through the scarring and damage inflicted upon it. It can also be matched to a promotional image from the film. The resin and fibreglass mask features leather straps with metal buckles, and has foam padding on the inside for the actor's comfort. The right eye hole features a section of Jason's face and his damaged right eye built into the mask. The damaged eye was originally mistakenly attached to the left eye and the mistake was noticed a few days into filming, meaning those shots had to be flipped in post-production. The remnants of the glue around the left eye remains. The hockey mask has also been autographed on the inside by Ken Kirzinger and stunt performer Douglas Tait, who has also inscribed "Give me back my Dam [sic] mask!"

The cowl is made of foam rubber and was intended to act as a dark frame around the hockey mask, allowing the mask to "pop". Handwritten notes inside indicate it was originally a hero version but was changed to a stunt version during production.

The mask has cracked most notably on the right side but the pieces still adhere to the foam lining. The foam rubber cowl has become dry and flaky and remains in a fragile condition. The lot is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from New Line Cinema. Dimensions (mask): 24.5 cm x 17 cm x 11 cm (9 3/4" x 6 3/4" x 4 1/4")
