In reinventing Michael Myers during the horror remake arms race of the mid-aughts, director Rob Zombie layers his Myers mask with dirt and blemishes. It’s the result of having been left under some floorboards for 15 years, and it doesn’t look so bad — at the very least, it appears to be the product of an actual artist and not a frantic dash to a Spirit Halloween. We get to see a close replica of the original, too, in the film’s first act — a brief nod to fans of the series before Zombie goes and does whatever he wants with it.

Originally, the prop department had to locate the perfect mask for Michael Myers. Without putting too much thought into it, they chose a Captain Kirk mask based on actor William Shatner and painted it white. Interestingly, the mask had actually been made from a cast of William Shatner’s face that was used in another horror film – The Devil’s Rain from 1975. As such, it seems that Shatner’s face was always destined to become an iconic piece of the horror genre. The CGI Mask appears in the scene where Charlie encounters Michael, which could not be reshot with the Stan Winston mask. It is widely regarded as the worst mask of the entire series. The KNB mask was the primary one when filming began, later replaced by the Stan Winston mask, though the original footage is still retained in many of the long shots. It was highly criticized by test audiences for looking nothing like the original, being described as "bloated" or looking like an alien, leading to the filmmakers changing masks even though production was already halfway done.

For 40 years, his mask was kept as archival evidence, eventually making its way to an attorney general's office until the day it came into the hands of journalist Aaron Korey, who, along with his colleague, Dana Haines, was making a podcast about Michael Myers. Upon Michael's escape from custody while en route to a new facility, he managed to meet up with Korey at a gas station, where he retrieved the mask he had not worn in four decades, and went on his second murder spree. Returning the franchise to its roots, ignoring the past four sequels, and reintroducing Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode character to the series definitely made for a sleeker experience. If only the mask could keep up. There are multiple masks used throughout H20, including CGI ones. But if we had to grade it on the main Myers mask, the one that appears during the iconic scene where a horrified Laurie gets face-to-face with Michael through a tiny window, the results are pretty uneven. The mask detail is there, but without Carpenter’s shadows (being able to see his wide eyes so clearly all the time does no favors for Michael’s mystique) and with an onion-tuft of hair, there’s little in the way of results. Halloween Resurrection (2002): The EVIL One Image: Dimension Films Michael Myers first acquired the white mask in 1978's Halloween after he escaped from Smith's Grove Sanitarium. He stole a few items from the local hardware store including a Halloween mask. This white mask became the face of the franchise. Michael wore a version of the original mask for all installments of the franchise, except for Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which didn't feature the crazed killer. Minor adjustments to the mask were made as time went on but the pale, humorless visage was always the main goal.

Michael obtains the mask as just one of many items stolen from Nichol's Hardware Store the night of his escape from Smith's Grove Sanitarium. The mask was later destroyed in the fire at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital.
