Abstract
The Evil Eye is a Halloween mask with LED's, which light up the eyes when voice activated.
The Evil Eye Halloween mask (Fig 1(1)) has several LED's (Fig 1(2)), that light up the eye sockets, or fake eyeballs if they are included in the mask design, when voice activated. An electronic module (Fig 1(3)) that includes a microphone for sensing the voice signal of the mask wearer produces this light up effect. This signal is then amplified and used to drive said LED's. The electronic module is either housed in a preformed pocket on the inside of the mask, or, glued directly to the inside of the mask. The electronic module is thin enough so as to be mounted on the inside of the mask and can be turned on and off by means of a single switch. The main function of the eye socket/ball sighting up is to provide the mask with a spooky effect. A secondary advantage of this effect is that the wearer of the mask becomes substantially more visible at night.

Description
FIELD OF THE PRESENT INVENTION:
The present to invention relates to Halloween mask, and more particuYar to a Halloween mask having an electronic module to provide a voice activated eye ball/socket light up effect so as to increase the sense of spookiness for the mask and enhance the safety of the wearer.
BACKGROLTiVD OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Various kinds of decorative mask are commonly used in make up parties and especially during Halloween.
Most popular masks imitate famous people's faces or some horrible tenors or monsters. Traditional masks are commonly made of resilient materials such as plastic, rubber and resin material to form a hollow head shape body by means of molding. The hollow head shape body is adapted to cover the wear's head.
However, none of the traditional mask can provide a voice activated eye socket/ball lighting effect since its interior surface is close to the wearer's face, that fails to provide enough room to install any conventional h?

light bulb and electrical power source. Some manufacturers design a kind of mask having a plurality of small light bulbs or LED's mounted on the exterior surface of the mask, wherein electrical wires must be connected with such light bulbs or LED's and extended to a battery box hanged on the wearer's waist. It is apparent that this design is failure in market because no consumer accepts the electrical wires extending all over the mask and body.
In fact, if the mask can provide a voice activated eye socketlball lighting effect thereon, it not only can be more attractive but also can increase the sense of reality for the mask.
Moreover, during Halloween, many children wear Halloween masks while walking around to solicit treats at dark night. It can also enhance the safety of the wearer if the mask can provide lighting or flashing to call the vehicle drivers' awareness.
To provide lighting effect is a well known art. Light bulb and LED energized with DC battery is a general way. But, how to easily and firmly install a voice activated eye socket/ball lighting effect apparatus on the traditional mask without altering the structure of the mask in an inexpensive way is an unsolved problem in the mask production industry.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The main object of the present invention is to provide a Halloween mask with a voice activated eye ball/socket light up effect device which not only can increase the attractive effect and the sense of spookiness for the mask but also can enhance the safety of the wearer by calling the attention and awareness of the vehicle drivers near the wearer.
In order to accomplish this main object, the present invention provides a Halloween mask, which comprises a hollow mask body, and at least a voice activated eye ball/socket light up effect device. The mask body, which has a predetermined thickness and is made of resilient material such as plastic, rubber or resin. The voice activated eye ball/socket light up effect device comprises an electronic module that includes a microphone for sensing the voice signal of the wearer, said signal then being amplified and then used to drive several high-brightness LED's. The electronic module is either housed in a prefonned pocket on the inside of the mask, or, glued directly to the inside of the mask. The electronic module is thin enough so as to be mounted on the inside of the mask and can be turned on and off by means of a single switch.
