Other than that, it was a demi mask but with a full yet very small nose.

Ah, an opportunity to make use of some of the otherwise irrelevant
Phantom of the Opera resources I've accumulated over the years! Anarasha, if these do not help you, please send a private communication and I may be able to direct you to other possibilities.

The Phantom half mask that I use was purchased at one of those Spirit Halloween stores several years ago. It was manufactured by a company called 'Mask-A-Rade' and was made of a sturdier white plastic. Some trimming of the edges was required for the mask to fit properly but if you can find them still, they're a good place to start.
If you are more predisposed to the 2004 film look, I apologize as I am not particularly enamoured of that traversty.
Very interesting thread. I shall have to revisit once my infernal final exams have been summarily dealt with.
