A picture is worth more than a thousand words - "The Mask bearer".

Growl in the waking sun
Quake, quake mask bearer
Yours is the scary roar
Ours is the shrilling cry

How am I to describe you?
Halloween bearer
Quick quick, call back the erring children
Oh mask wearer
But a scary tale you are which grandmas tell

Do you wear a mask just for Halloween?
Or do you wear a mask for real?
A scary mask to ward off friends?
Or a scary mask to be called the devil?

Hush hush mask bearer!
To the streets!
To the neighbors and children's cry resounding, quick!

What I see: A person dressed in a scary looking mask
What I feel: horrified at first, then intrigued and curious to know why they chose such a mask.
