Unknown Origin FX is a small, veteran, horror-based business out of Clarksville, TN. We focus on originally designed masks, props, and many other things like keychains, music, digital media, and costuming. We also have done and consider private commissioned work.
HISTORY:
Loving halloween, haunted houses, masks, and the creativity behind it all has always been a passion. That took a backseat after joining the U.S. COAST GUARD In 2009. David still continued to make original monster costumes.
After sustaining a brain injury in 2012 he attended the Brain Trauma Therapy Program, provided by the Portsmouth Naval Hospital in Virginia. He and his doctors seen positive results to mask making during art therapy courses and recommended continuing it.
It wasn't till the fall of year 2015, after winning 1st place in a professional costume division judged by movie industry artists, that this therapy -turned personal hobby-could become more. With the help and support of wife Jessica, things would quickly start coming together.
December 2015, Unknown Origin FX came into being. So why the name? Originality is important! How many different haunts can you go to across the country and see many of the same masks or other items? So this being the case we wanted to focus on originality and things not usually seen, hence, origins unknown. We also took a vote and let our closest friends and relatives decide on a few name options.
In our first 3 years we've won 6 awards for original monster costumes, have set up at horror shows and events sharing space next to famous actors/actresses, and have met tons of great people. We strive to continue to bring originality and quality standards to ALL costumers.
