In the flick he has different masks for different activities, the butcher’s mask seen at the beginning and the “mother’s” mask for the dinner table sequence for example.

Although the “based on a true story” aspect to this flick is tenuous at best, I always thought it was a great way to frame the low budget filmmaking of the flick…
