Halloween (1978): The Classic Image: Compass International Pictures

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? 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. 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. The H20 mask was ultimately disliked by audiences, due in no small part to the fact that four masks were used in production: the Buechler mask, the KNB mask, the Stan Winston mask, and the CGI mask.

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: 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. 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.

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.
