Sorry for the short post, but you might also consider Batman's mask
which is a combination of hood and mask. That's a little closer to
what I picture; without the bat ears of course.

It's possible that the KKK hood/masks might be close because the KKK
hoods were really much like a pointed wizards that had extra cloth
that covered the neck, and as Jenny pointed out, a cloth attached the
fell down over the face with slits for the eyes.

I sort of pictured something between Batman and Phantom of the Opera,
and of course, black in color.
