1978 Halloween Michael Myers Mask Deluxe Officially Licensed White

Product Information

For all horror fans, there’s no denying that the perfect Halloween appearance as Michael Myers is the ultimate choice. Unleash your inner horror fanatic with our Halloween Michael Myers mask! This official Michael mask and costume will make you the center of attention at any Halloween party. 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. However, not all of the masks are built equally. As the Halloween series progressed, various redesigns would cause a Rise and Fall and Rise of sorts, and if you’re the kind of person who deeply cares (the right kind of person) you’ll notice each one gives Michael a distinctly different vibe. Halloween (1978): The Classic Image: Compass International Pictures Looking to other Michael Myers face masks and costumes ? Have a look to all our Michael Myers Merch, featuring the Halloween 1978, Halloween 2018 and Halloween 2021 masks ! 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.

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. Crafted from skin-friendly latex and polyester, the Michael Myers 1978 costume and mask are designed to perfectly fit children as well as adults. Not just for Halloween, this mask is also perfect for other events such as costume parties, Christmas, New Year parties, Easter and more. The latex mask features burn scare details and attached brown hair, making it the ultimate representation of Michael Myers. The Stan Winston mask is the one seen for the majority of the film, replacing the KNB mask. Though praised for looking more similar to the original, it was still mostly panned since Michael's eyes are plainly visible, and for the hair appearing frizzy.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. 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.

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 Curse mask received a much better reaction, with praise for how similar it looked to the original one.
