It’s not the Passover time of year, but we just couldn’t wait nine months to post this unbelievable gem uncovered by the reliably demented blog Christian Nightmares. Every good Jew knows that God used a series of plagues to basically extort the Egyptians into releasing the enslaved Israelites from captivity, leading to the Book of Exodus and countless Passover Seders.

Some company called Rite Lite decided to cash in on the Passover hysteria by selling these amazing masks for the traditional Passover trick or treating or, more likely, just around the table while the family enjoys its ritual Seder.

So many of these, ahem, “cute” masks are highly cringeworthy, esp. the “Blood,” “Boils,” and “Lice” masks. But the “First Born” mask, which depicts, well, a slain infant, is in a whole other category. According to the picture, this product was available for $14.99 at a Bed Bath and Beyond (a retail establishment a friend of mine who worked at one invariably referred to as “Bloodbath and Beyond,” a nickname that is all too appropriate for this particular product). It’s also available at Amazon.
 

 
As you can see from this gentleman’s expression, the masks are incredibly fun. (Just to clarify, that blogger has the same perspective on these masks as we do.)
 

 

 
Below is a closer look of the masks, taken from this large picture. I dislike learning about history or religion from children’s masks, I learn from Wikipedia! So I’ve annotated each mask with the name of the plague as described on the Wikipedia page for the Plagues of Egypt, as well as the correct order according to the same page.
 

1st Plague: “Water into Blood”
 

2nd Plague: “Frogs”
 

3rd Plague: “Lice”
 

4th Plague: “Wild animals, possibly flies”
 

5th Plague: “Diseased livestock”
 

6th Plague: “Boils”
 

7th Plague: “Thunderstorm of hail and fire”
 

8th Plague: “Locusts”
 

9th Plague: “Darkness”
 

10th Plague: “Death of firstborn”
