The masks get even more elaborate in the series' fourth outing, 2018's "The First Purge." With the Purge seemingly abolished at the conclusion of "Election Year," the series chooses an interesting new direction: It goes all the way back to the inaugural Purge. This Purge is beta-tested in Staten Island, and offers a $5,000 reward for participation. But honestly, considering the bloody actions of the people involved, we think the opportunity for slaughter is all the motivation they need.

Since this is the very first Purge, there aren't many memorable masks in this film. The most striking is definitely an elaborate devil mask, distinguished by its enormous horns. This makes the Purger wearing it one of the more inhuman figures present in the film, and thus one of the most intimidating. With its orange eyes, huge horns, long nose, and twisted grin, this mask is the last thing you'd want to contend with while surviving a Purge.
