The Mask

Prior to the start of Halloween's filming, filmmakers were out to find the best mask to use for the film. Three options: a Spock, Captain Kirk, and Emmet Kelly- all made by Don Post Studios. Production landed on the DPS Captain Kirk mask, so Tommy Lee Wallace then bought at least 3-5 kirk masks and converted them by ripping off the sideburns, enlarging the eyes, painting them white and painting the hair a dark brown. In addition to the classic white mask, we see young Michael wear a vintage clown mask at the beginning of the film, but the exact make and model is unknown.

We know definitely that three main white Myers masks exist. The "Hero" mask, the "Primary Stunt Mask" and the "Second Stunt Mask".

Of these four masks used for filming we know of two that survived the years.

The "hero" mask, owned by Mark Roberts
The "primary" stunt mask, location unknown
The "second" stunt mask, owned a private individual.

Young Michael's Outfit

It is unknown at this time whether or not the clown costume being worn by Michael was production made or not, but given the low budget and tight shooting schedule, it is likely that this is a store bought costume. The shoes worn by young Michael are unknown, but the wide shot at least shows that they are white shoes, but we do know that he carries the same knife as adult Michael, a W.R. Case & Sons Cut Co 102-12.

Adult Michael's Outfit

In the original Halloween (1978), Michael wore a pair of Sears Tradewear coveralls in "Tex Green", a black undershirt and Vietnam Era Altama jungle boots with Vibram soles. His iconic kitchen knife is a vintage W.R. Case & Sons Cut Co 102-12.
