1978 Halloween Michael Myers Mask Deluxe Officially Licensed White

Product Information

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? Michael obtains the mask as just one of many items stolen from Nichol's Hardware Store the night of his escape from Smith's Grove Sanitarium. The mask was later destroyed in the fire at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital. 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

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers features a mask that once again appears different from the previous two films, but it is allegedly the same one that was still intact at the end of Halloween 5. 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 Curse mask received a much better reaction, with praise for how similar it looked to the original one. Michael awakens from a ten-year coma covered in gauze bandages from Ridgemont Federal Sanitarium. As soon as he reaches Haddonfield, Illinois, he goes to Vincent Drug Store where he steals another "Shape" mask.

Halloween H20 is a direct sequel to Halloween II (1981) in which the original mask was destroyed in the fire at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital. The film does not explain how Michael obtained a new mask, but it is assumed that he stole it from another store.

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. This Michael mask and costume includes everything you need to become one of the most brutal murderers this Halloween. Get ready for a genuine horror look with our official Michael Myers workwear, and of course, this frightening mask. Returning the franchise to its roots, ignoring the past four sequels, and reintroducing Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode character to the series definitely made for a sleeker experience. If only the mask could keep up. There are multiple masks used throughout H20, including CGI ones. But if we had to grade it on the main Myers mask, the one that appears during the iconic scene where a horrified Laurie gets face-to-face with Michael through a tiny window, the results are pretty uneven. The mask detail is there, but without Carpenter’s shadows (being able to see his wide eyes so clearly all the time does no favors for Michael’s mystique) and with an onion-tuft of hair, there’s little in the way of results.

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. 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. 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.

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 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.

Michael Myers first acquired the white mask in 1978's Halloween after he escaped from Smith's Grove Sanitarium. He stole a few items from the local hardware store including a Halloween mask. This white mask became the face of the franchise. Michael wore a version of the original mask for all installments of the franchise, except for Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which didn't feature the crazed killer. Minor adjustments to the mask were made as time went on but the pale, humorless visage was always the main goal.

Frequently asked questions

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. 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. 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.
