For Screen Rant, he writes features that focus on his favorite movies and TV Shows, which include properties like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, the MCU, Stranger Things, Breaking Bad, How I Met Your Mother, and The Umbrella Academy. Ray comes from a background in banking, which he ultimately left to pursue something that didn't have him staring at numbers all day. He tried writing a screenplay once and gave up after it set many fires, ran away with his wife, and threatened every local kitten in a four-block radius.

He spends most of his professional time writing freelance or planning his next novel in ways that evoke thoughts of conspiracy theorists and their dubious pegboards. Ray Eckman (he/him) is a writer who cares way too much about obscure facts, subtitles, and small domesticated animals. The Grabber even opts to sometimes wear just the top of the mask, allowing his expression to be seen or, in a key scene, just the bottom piece, freezing the bottom of his face in the grin while violently threatening the film's protagonist, Finney. Sometimes Hawke's Grabber wears it with a wide and unsettling rictus, sometimes it features a deep frown, and sometimes it's completely blank and empty. Throughout this ritual, he changes the appearance of his mask as it has detachable lower half, allowing the Grabber to switch between various mouths and jaws. It's revealed during The Black Phone that The Grabber has taken six victims, hiding them in his soundproofed basement and engaging in a sort of game-like ritual where he tries to get his victims to act " naughty" to justify his violence against them. While his mask seems as though it shares some commonality with other masked horror villains, there's something in the way he employs it that distinguishes The Grabber from his contemporaries. Played by Ethan Hawke in a role quite different from his standard fare, The Grabber is a terrifying new addition to the horror villain canon. To me, that makes it utterly terrifying.The Grabber's mask in The Black Phone has a deeper meaning than a first glance might suggest. You can see that things are processing, that he’s thinking. “You look at something like Michael Myers, where you know it’s a human, you know someone’s in there, but you can never see his eyes, so you don’t know if there’s any comprehension. “To me, I think one of the many reasons why are these masks are so terrifying is because you can actually see Ethan’s eyes,” said Baker. Great masks just add to the mystery of what’s going on behind it.” “It doesn’t look like something you pulled off a party supply store shelf, this is something that someone clearly crafted for themselves. The way that the facial expressions work functions very differently than other devil masks you’ve seen. This is clearly a devil mask, but you’ve never seen a mask that looks quite like this. “What makes a good mask is something that feels familiar, but is different in some way.
“We have this thing programmed into us called the uncanny valley where something that looks like it should be right but isn’t right ultimately unsettles us,” said Cargill. “He and I were doing some sketches, we sent them to Scott, and so it was basically the three of us that came up with a design: Levi, me and Scott,” said Savini. The sketch was drawn by Levi Simpson, Baker’s brother-in-law. And as soon as I looked at it, I was like ‘Oh my God, that’s it.’” Tom Savini sent back a single pencil sketch that was almost exactly what you see in the movie. I remember the other designers had more elaborate concept work and descriptions and all that.
“And all five came back with interesting ideas. Give me a piece of concept art that shows me what this mask is going to look like,’” he said. “I went to all five companies and said ‘Here’s the script, here’s the concept. Turek gave him a list of five companies, with Savini and Baker’s Callosum FX Studios being one of them. Actually, he’d asked Blumhouse producer Ryan Turek for the best makeup effects companies that specifically made masks. “Obviously Tom’s a legend, but I didn’t hire him for that reason,” said Derrickson.
