I know that you’ve heard of Michael Myers. He is the masked maniac from the Halloween movie franchise with a love for killing bad kids and babysitters. Influenced by a Canadian film called Black Christmas, Halloween is credited with propelling the slasher move franchise to new heights. The mask has become an iconic symbol. There is also more than one to choose from.
Classic Mask – The classic mask is the definitely the best looking mask and the most can be done with it as well. It usually features Myers’ swept back hairstyle to conceal your own hair. This means that you don’t need to dye your hair if it is not already brown. Most of these masks also cover the neck down to the collar.
Variations – Throughout the Halloween movie series the masks worn by Michael Myers have gone through a metamorphosis of sorts. the only exception was Halloween III: Season of the Witch where Michael only appeared in one shot and that was on a TV showing the original Halloween. If you’re a big fan of Halloween you can always modify the classic mask to the way it was in your favorite film. There is also a mask that already has “blood” painted on that is suppose to resemble a head wound.
Costume And Accessories – All that is left now are the clothes and props. This is probably the easiest costume you will ever put together. After buying the mask all you would need to do is buy a pair of standard black overalls along with a prop knife. Sure, you can buy the complete costume and if you don’t have the time to compare prices go right ahead. However, you might want to shop around and see if you can get a cheap pair of overalls that look just like the ones in the costume. And the knife? You can get this in a dollar store around Halloween.
Painting dark circles around your eyes gives you a certain level of authenticity as well. You rarely, if ever see the eyes of Michael Myers so this may be something to consider. There is also the option of wearing dark contacts but the dark paint should suffice.
