1978 Halloween Michael Myers Mask Deluxe Officially Licensed White

Product Information

After a six-year hiatus, the Halloween franchise would return with a mask that’s a little better than the one in the previous two installments. This one has scruffy hair and a blank expression, but that expression doesn’t exude pure unreasonable malice; instead, it’s a puppy-dog innocence that looks like Michael Myers is having trouble with a trivia question at all times. The confusion makes sense, though — at this point in the franchise, the Halloween lore had spiraled out of control, losing the original intent of faceless, unexplainable evil and instead having Myers transform into an incestuous bull stud for a Celtic-themed doomsday cult. Halloween H20 (1998): The Mixed Bag Image: Dimension Films The KNB mask was the primary one when filming began, later replaced by the Stan Winston mask, though the original footage is still retained in many of the long shots. It was highly criticized by test audiences for looking nothing like the original, being described as "bloated" or looking like an alien, leading to the filmmakers changing masks even though production was already halfway done.

Halloween Ends, which takes place four years after Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills, features the same mask from the preceding films, but it is now covered in mold and mildew. Take your Halloween look to the next level this year with the Michael Myers 1978 costume, available exclusively at Horrifiq ! Stand Out and Turn Heads with the Michael Myers 1978 Mask The CGI Mask appears in the scene where Charlie encounters Michael, which could not be reshot with the Stan Winston mask. It is widely regarded as the worst mask of the entire series. The production crew removed the eyebrows and sideburns, the face was painted flat white, the hair was teased out, and the eyes were opened up and reshaped with scissors. This info can be found in the Halloween: The Inside Story. They tested out the Capt. Kirk mask and the crew decided that it was much more creepy because it was emotionless, much like Michael himself. This became the Michael Myers mask. Since then, every mask used in the films have been modeled after this design. William Shatner admitted that for years he had no idea his likeness was used for this film. It was only during an interview that someone mentioned his mask was being used. He has since stated that he is honored by this gesture. At Horrifiq, we pride ourselves on providing products crafted from the most spine-chillingly superior materials. Each of our petrifying masks is designed with skin-friendly, nightmarish care to ensure a comfortable and ghastly experience for both little ghouls and grown-up monsters alike. Employing the eerie embrace of natural latex, our masks ensure your haunting is delightfully devilish and free from ghastly odors.During the school scene when Michael throws Loomis through the glass door, the mask is pink with blond hair. Director Dwight H. Little later speculated that an exhausted crew member accidentally grabbed a non-altered mask for the scene, and there was not enough time or money for a reshoot. You can easily see through the eye holes and comfortably breathe through the nostrils. If you’d like to make the mouth or eye holes a little bigger, simply use a scissor. This will not compromise the overall look of the mask. We are thrilled to present the official Michael Myers 1978 face mask, a perfect replica of the iconic mask worn by the famous movie serial killer. With its white and expressionless appearance, the Halloween Michael Myers mask has been one of the most popular Halloween masks since the release of the original Halloween 1978 movie. Halloween: Resurrection establishes that Michael put his clothes and mask on a paramedic who was mistakenly beheaded by Laurie at the end of H20. Since Michael left said mask behind, it is again assumed that he stole a new one from another store. In reinventing Michael Myers during the horror remake arms race of the mid-aughts, director Rob Zombie layers his Myers mask with dirt and blemishes. It’s the result of having been left under some floorboards for 15 years, and it doesn’t look so bad — at the very least, it appears to be the product of an actual artist and not a frantic dash to a Spirit Halloween. We get to see a close replica of the original, too, in the film’s first act — a brief nod to fans of the series before Zombie goes and does whatever he wants with it.

The Resurrection mask is often regarded as one of the best sequel masks along with Curse, save for some criticism that its sharply defined features resemble makeup. The romantic ideal of the Michael Myers mask, the original works so well mainly because the director of the film, John Carpenter, is so adept at knowing where shadows are supposed to be. The cheekbones provide a little underline in dark close-ups so it doesn’t look like Myers is wearing a mayonnaise container on his head, and very rarely do you see Michael’s actual eyes, lending him that inhuman quality of “The Shape.” Combine that with the slight tussle in his hair and you have a grade-A maniac mask, one that totally alienates the audience from any sort of human connection or empathy. Halloween II (1981): The Dye Job Image: Universal Pictures Originally, the prop department had to locate the perfect mask for Michael Myers. Without putting too much thought into it, they chose a Captain Kirk mask based on actor William Shatner and painted it white. Interestingly, the mask had actually been made from a cast of William Shatner’s face that was used in another horror film – The Devil’s Rain from 1975. As such, it seems that Shatner’s face was always destined to become an iconic piece of the horror genre.The Halloween franchise is perhaps best remembered for its most recurring villain – The Shape, aka Michael Myers. The character is normally portrayed as the epitome of evil, and one of the best ways of getting that concept across to the audience is with his iconic mask. As fans of the franchise likely already know, Michael Myers first dons the iconic white mask in the original 1978 Halloween. Once he appeared on screen in his proper full attire, a cinematic icon was born. But where exactly did the mask come from? For 40 years, his mask was kept as archival evidence, eventually making its way to an attorney general's office until the day it came into the hands of journalist Aaron Korey, who, along with his colleague, Dana Haines, was making a podcast about Michael Myers. Upon Michael's escape from custody while en route to a new facility, he managed to meet up with Korey at a gas station, where he retrieved the mask he had not worn in four decades, and went on his second murder spree.
