One of the most iconic images in all of horror is the mask worn by Michael Myers in the Halloween franchise, and Tommy Lee Wallace who helped create that iconic mask has outlined how it was made.
The Captain Kirk mask (played by William Shatner) was altered to create the infamous Michael Myers mask back in the 1970s, and although there have been different variations of that original mask, the original remains that best.
Horror’s Hallowed Grounds host Sean Clark just uploaded an incredible video to YouTube showing Wallace rebuilding the mask that made The Shape (Myers) the horror icon he is today.
According to the summary:“This is a video we made back in 2014 I believe. It was made with the intention of being part of the Halloween: The Complete Collection Box Set. For years fans have asked Tommy Lee Wallace for the details of exactly how he converted the William Shatner mask into The Shape. For the first and only time Tommy takes us step by step and shows exactly what he did back in 1978.”
