For those of you who didn't recognise him, the picture is of Eric Stoltz (truly a master of disguise -- remember 'Fly 2'?...) in Peter Bogdanovich's 1985 tear-jerker 'Mask', in which Cher played his stalwart mother, Rusty.

They told 16-year-old Rocky Dennis, a boy with grave skull deformity, that he could never be like everyone else. So he was determined to be better... This film is definitely a tear-jerker worth revisiting for its surprisingly uplifting message.

Tomorrow's Halloween... will your costume be inspired by a movie? Here are some ideas inspired by classic movies ...

Go as John-Louis Barrault in Marcel Carne's 1943 classic 'The Children of Paradise'...

Or, one of the Stepford Wives (you've probably got most of what it takes - barring the bouffont - in your closet)!

Then again, you could follow this little fellow's example and go as my own personal favourite, Edward Scissorhands...
