In the documentary short, 'Halloween' Unmasked 2000 (1999), it was revealed that the crew had chosen two masks for Michael Myers to decide on. The first was a Don Post Emmett Kelly smiling clown mask that they put frizzy red hair on. This was an homage to how he killed his sister, Judith, in a clown costume. They tested it out and it appeared very demented and creepy. The other mask was a 1975 Captain James T. Kirk mask that was purchased for around a dollar. It had the eyebrows and sideburns ripped off, the face was painted fish belly white, and the hair was spray painted brown, and the eyes were opened up more. They tested out the Kirk mask and the crew decided that it was much more creepy because it was emotionless. This became the Michael Myers mask.

I heard somewhere that the Michael Myers mask was actually a Captain Kirk mask unfinished. Is that true?

Yes, the mask, bought from a drug-store, had the blank, lifeless look the director wanted for Michael (referred to as "The Shape" in the shooting script). They cut the hair, painted it white, and motion picture history was made.

Thanks for the info guys, I wonder if Shatner ever complained or even knew about this even. Thanks

I don't think he's ever acknowledged it, publicly at least, but he seems like the kind of guy who'd have a sense of humor about the whole thing.

Besides, how many actors can lay claim to being the "Face" of two separate genres. 😎

He has acknowledged it publicly, and he does have a sense of humor about it.
