A new BTS video details exactly how much effort was put into making Michael Myers’ Halloween Kills mask look exactly like the 1978 original.
Behind-the-scenes video shows the immense effort that went into making Michael Myers’ Halloween Kills mask look like the 1978 original. The masked and silent killer originally called The Shape made his memorable debut in John Carpenter’s seminal horror masterpiece Halloween.
Of course Carpenter’s masterful filmmaking technique was a big part of why Halloween went on to become a classic of horror. But one particular choice made during filming actually played a big role not only in the movie being horrifying but in its bad guy becoming one of the most iconic horror characters of all time. That choice of course was the decision to make Myers wear a pale and expressionless mask, giving the already menacing character an even more frighteningly inhuman dimension. Famously, the mask chosen for Myers was a simple latex Star Trek prop made from William Shatner’s face.
