Even in the context of the Harry Potter stories, Death Eaters are lame and hilariously incompetent – like the time they were handily defeated by a group of kids as if they were the goddamn Wet Bandits.
And as others have pointed out, those masks are essentially pointless since wizards own distinctly unique wands, and some folks can easily access magical maps that promptly IDs literally anyone. Not to mention that, once Voldemort dies, they all just kind of give up? Man, the Death Eaters are the least-terrifying Halloween Horror Nights attraction since Bill and Ted’s Not-at-all-Excellent, Super-Homphobic Adventure.
