Masks were an important theme for BioShock, from the New Years party when the place 'Went to Hell', to the Splicers hiding behind the Masks, to Sander Cohen 'masking' corpses with his plaster.

Do the New Citizens of Rapture Continue to Wear Their (New Years Eve) Masks ? :
* Or is it a painful reminder of what they escaped and which don't want to go back to?
* There could be 'festivals' days where Citizens wear their masks again (and maybe new ones...) - The big symbolic event would  be 'the taking off' of the masks to show that they are normal/human again.

Anyway they can be fancy or relatively plain and simple :

Masks - Collect them All ... :
MMORPG Players would be able to Create new ones and re-texture existing shapes.
An obvious candidate for a contest and possibly useful as a introduction Tutorial in using the texturing tools ( without initially having to mess about with Shape/Mesh Editors ).  More advanced would be new shapes ('3D' Object Editors) and possibly a further complications/features of Lighting and Particle effects.   Citizens would no longer wear masks as they did as Splicers, but there might be events were they are applicable.  Certainly all other 'wild' Splicers still out there could use more flavors of masks to wear.
Additional flavors would include 'crude' homemade appearance, Original (pre-Kashmir) styles,  "Bizarre and  Deranged", and other creativity.

The Masquerade - The Party that Never Stops :
Masks to fit even the most gruesome deformities - guaranteed...
One area of the old City were the inhabitants didn't descend into violence, instead they 'Got Crazy' and decided to 'Party til the End of the World'. Except that never seems to have happened, and due to their good luck they have a relatively undamaged ( as in threatening instant fatal catastrophe ) city neighborhood and lots of kelp and fish to eat from a still operating automatic fish farm, which someone had thoughtfully installed back in the old days. With a little creative brewing of kelp-based alcohol products, the party was sustained. Splicers from far and wide would visit when their lives got a little too boring.
Infiltrating this locale can be hazardous, as it is thought impolite to turn down a drink (masks have to be worn, of course) and the quality of the product isn't too good, but the quantity consumed is significant.
Local musical talent always sounds like the Mos Eisley Cantina performers after a nightlong drinking bout (noone seems to care). Various records from 'the olde days' are often played and sung along with, and the inhabitants highly value appropriate replacements after they have worn out the Records they play.

==Columbia_Masks==
Infinite - They Seem to Have Decided They Needed Some 'Masks' For That Game Too :
--- --- ---
WHY ???
I don't think we ever saw corpses wearing their masks. 
--- --- ---
Getting Ahead :
Creepy Scene : masks still with the heads in them (skulls) on corpses (or just found laying on the floor)
OR CREEPIER you just find the heads with their masks still on.
Maybe a certain 'Boss' collects them - Splicers with TMFT (Too Much Free Time)
Splicer Ryan as an Rapture Alternate - Whole (full) wall of heads in Masks on his Lair's walls ( insane Ryan does a YorickYorick's skull in the scene in Hamlet, by Shakespeare scene, or puts on his own puppet show with them, or constantly Talks to them ).
