Where's that devil?

bethlakshmiWell... it turns out, digging up a devil's head on the Net is harder than you might think. After a frustrating search for "Devil Head" or even with words like plastic, foam, or life-sized - I had to give up and try for a Devil Mask. I found a few that seem OK:

- not sure if it's all around or just front

- definitely not full-head... but awfully cute...
The challenge here is that this is something I plan to dance with, as a prop. It has to be:
- at least a little bit believably real (not a cartoon)
- be not-repulsive - the dance is a sexy, seduction peice, it has to be a devil head that isn't drooling, decomposing, completely bestial, or with simply enormous teeth. I'm going for a sly, sinister but yet debonair sort of fellow.
- viewable from 3-D - it's a dance peice, and I need to not have to worry about the back of it. It doesn't have to be intersting, but it can't be concave!
- preferably has eyes - I suppose I could fake this, and find some fake eyes to stick in his hollow little skull, but I'd rather not.
So... my current plan is get this slightly expensive (~$40) head, and stuff it with something to keep it fully 3-D.
But... if ya'll happen to have a handy-dandy devil head lying around that you wouldn't mind loaning me... we should talk... It must not be a Classic Vintage, You'll Die if I Break it or Tamper with It sort of thing - it's going to have a short career in theater, here.
You'd think that would be a strange request, but when your boyfriend has a full-sized Audrey II, several screaming busts, a 3/4 size grim reaper, and who knows what all in storage - you begin to believe that you can borrow a devil's head as easily as you can borrow a cup of sugar. Actually, it's probably easier. Many folks abstain from refined sugar for health reasons!
Sadly, the boyfriend does have a devil's head, a real dashing one, but it is in the "would be really upset if it got broken" category, and therefore off limits.
Must share... this was really creepy:
