Skin mask

A skin mask is a mask made from the preserved flesh of an animal or, in most instances, another human being. Skin masks are usually made using sort of a curing process to prevent the removed skin from decaying. The fictional serial killer known as Leatherface is well-known for creating masks made from the skin of his victims. Other examples of skin masks can be found in A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Devil's Rejects. A woman named Molly created skin masks of her victims, which she would keep as trophies in her room as revealed in the "Only Skin Deep" episode of Tales from the Crypt.
