Michael Myers mask from Halloween and Halloween 11
  • Caption: Michael Myers mask from Halloween and Halloween 11
  • Description: Here's a "pull" from the actual mask worn by Nick Castle and Dick Warlock in Halloween and Halloween 11. The mask is a modified 1975 Star Trek Captain Kirk mask. The mask was intended to have a "blank face", and the William Shatner Halloween mask that production designer Tommy Lee Wallace found at a mask shop on Hollywood Boulevard had exactly what was needed. Wallace cut the eyeholes larger and rounder, removed the eyebrows and sideburns, poofed up the hair so it looked "demented and strange", and finally spray painted the mask white.
    According to Jamie Lee Curtis, the mask needed to be a "human image", and the only thing in stores at the time that matched what they needed on set was the Shatner mask.
    John Carpenter claims that the mask looked nothing like William Shatner, but joked, "I guess I owe the success of Halloween to William Shatner."
