Michael Myers' Mask in "Halloween" Is William Shatner's Face
28 Feb, 2023
It is a little known fact that Michael Myers' iconic mask in the movie "Halloween" is actually based on William Shatner's face, specifically his character, Captain Kirk, from the television series "Star Trek". Due to budget constraints, the filmmakers did not have enough money to create a custom mask, so they improvised by purchasing a cheap clown mask and a Captain Kirk mask. The art director then spray-painted the Captain Kirk mask white and made some modifications to the eyes and hair to make it more terrifying. The result was the haunting and unforgettable mask that has become a staple of the horror genre.
