The Grabber’s Mask Is Secretly Deeper Than You Realize

The Black Phone Grabber mask has a deeper meaning than it seems. Though The Grabber’s mask seems as though it shares some commonality with other masked horror villains, the way he employs it as a changeable piece distinguishes The Grabber from his contemporaries. Sometimes The Grabber wears it with a wide and unsettling rictus, sometimes it features a deep frown, and sometimes it’s completely blank and empty. The Grabber even opts to sometimes wear just the top of the mask, allowing his expression to be seen or, in a key scene, just the bottom piece, freezing the bottom of his face in the grin while violently threatening the film’s protagonist, Finney.
