Michael Myers Mask Tier List | Halloween (1978-2022)

[@thehorrorcounselors4747]

The Halloween 6 mask gets way too much hate, it’s honestly the only mask minus h78/81 and the new trilogy that successfully captured the beauty of what makes a Michael Myers mask scary without trying to be the OG…I’d go as far as to say the mask looked even more terrifying during the reshoots where Michael Lerner wore the mask, it was smaller and wider and had been discoloured.

[@nashe_clarke]

my only issue with the mask are the ears. They look too big and it makes Michael look like a goblin Imo

[@MinerB2023]

I think Halloween 6 is underrated period. In fact it is my favorite film in the franchise.

[@demisemedia]

In Halloween 6 the curse: The mask looks ok. The hair is bad in certain scenes. The one thing I hate about H6 is George P. Wilbur’s posture. He’s all hunched and his belly is poppin out! Like, damn Michael you’ve let yourself go maan! The H6 mask in the first scenes of Halloween H2O look really good. The hair isn’t all crazy like in H6!

[@baneintherain]

H6 mask is top tier

[@Virgo555]

Rob Zombies mask was good too

[@Lusciouslysorry]

I was about to be so pissed off that this dude's face was puffy, so it's a good thing he apologized.

[@Heyoo414]

Lmao

[@Hamrik_Oswald]

F'ck that. I reported this video. It's unacceptable to have a puffy face 😏

[@q.h.s5051]

Everything you said about Halloween 2 I agree with, it’s the first film amplified for me and I love it the most. It is in fact my favorite horror movie ever too. With Warlocks performance being robotic I like to attribute that to Michael basically running on fumes in terms of the human part of himself. After being stabbed numerous times, shot six times, and falling off the balcony the human side of Michael is basically dead meanwhile the evil shape still roams. He is completely inhuman by the end not even looking down the stairs while he walks! The only human trait that remains in him is when Laurie calls out his name that stops him in his tracks for a second but that’s it. I’m probably alone in this thought but this makes his performance my personal favorite as well only rivaled by Castle, Courtney, and George

[@jayb1300]

RZ H1 mask is one of the scariest and one of the best looking imo.

H4 gets too much hate imo bc thinking of it continuity wise it makes sense to have a different mask and I just think it’s a genuinely decent mask

[@spiceweasle3945]

H4 was the first Halloween I ever saw, and personally love the mask.

[@SomethingThatSCREAMS]

It does make sense that it looks different (unlike H5), but it does not look right. The paint job was far too bright white and thick, washing out the details. Its baffling that they somehow failed to remove the sideburns. The whole portrayal of Michael was not right. Wilbur was too big and slow, he seemed to follow Dick Warlock's portrayal more than Nick Castle's. It's certainly not the worst portrayal (again, H5). But it's far removed from the 1978 version.

[@jamesoblivion]

When it comes to H4's mask, I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. It's a case of wasted potential, more than anything else. They had an opportunity to replicate the original mask perfectly, but the production was so rushed, they botched the Kirk-to-Myers conversion. So it's not the worst mask, and it does make sense that it's a new mask, so it looks a bit different, but it looks different in a variety of negative ways. And when you consider how good it could have looked, had they taken more time and care with the conversion, it's just a letdown.

[@vaulted4239]

@@SomethingThatSCREAMSI honestly feel like they should’ve kept the bandaged look, way creepier imo

[@Bat_Dad_116]

I’m sure you’re gonna put H5 at the bottom but I’ve always loved it. I remember as a kid in the video store, always looking at that box and thinking the mask was very scary looking. By the time I was old enough to watch the movie, that mask was legendary to me.

[@AReallyBuffLlama]

For me, Halloween 4 is one of my favorites easily. Lack of detail, flatness, just made it so creepy to me when I was growing up. Just an awesome mask

[@allen-licious6894]

I have and always will stand by the Halloween ends mask. I absolutely love the moldy look of Michael in that film. The camera and lighting work really helped a lot too. Say what you will about the story of Halloween ends, but theres a lot of moments where Michael looks genuinely creepy. I don't know what it is. I loved the 2018 mask, I thought the kills mask was absolutely awesome, but from the moment I first saw the ends look, I fell head over heels in love with it. Without a doubt my favorite look aside from the 78/HII mask. He literally looks like a dead man walking.

[@domgriffith6483]

Exactly he literally looks like a zombie almost that’s what I love about ends is how disgusting,moldy and genuinely creepy he looks

[@vaulted4239]

Ironic, Ends mask was awesome, Ends movie was shit.

[@mynamedoesntfi--6161]

[@drizz847]

H4 was my first Halloween film so I have a soft spot for the mask. I think Jamie’s nightmare is where the mask looks the best, the low lighting and quick lighting flash really sells the creepy factor, especially that shot of him in the mirror with the lighting flash.

[@Savoy1984]

I normally pride myself on being able to spot stuff and have seen Halloween H2O more times than most and can’t believe I didn’t spot the cgi mask in that film till it was pointed out to me a few years ago.

[@thrashmetaldave]

I grew up in the 80s watching the slasher sequels, body horror and video nasties. Michael Myers look achieved perfection with Halloween II (1981) and none of the sequels or reboots that followed have been as good. And yes I am a fan of the hated and underrated Halloween III

[@mbeat28]

I pretty much agree with that whole list. Good stuff!

[@CeeJayThe13th]

You've probably had this idea already but I'd like to see a Jason Vorhees murder weapon tier list. Like yeah, any slasher has multiple ways to dispatch teenagers but I feel like F13 is the king of grabbing random shit for the killshot.

[@Ruggz17]

I’m in the minority, but I love the H4 mask. Incredibly creepy and different. Just felt unsettling and fit the tone of the movie.

[@joshuakincaid8238]

Decided to look this up to see if there was any updated tire list since halloween ends came out. I definitely like the halloween kills mask the most. The lighting and camera angles really helped sell the thing and had a lot of good camera shots of him , but also, just the small details of it were good.

[@sonofyah_chosen1950]

[@ScarysReviews]

the condition of the original in II makes it my number 1. then it's OG form. the Bandaged wrap from Return ( that SHOULD have remained for the whole film. so he'd have that unique look, it was more frightening, that goofball mask and his bulk look make a GOOD sequel, bit hard to watch. Curse, the good one from H20, Resurrection, the 2nd good one from h20, Revenge.

I prefer H2 over the original myself. Not to take away anything from H1. Just my opinion 🤟💀

The 78 mask from modified from a Kirk mask that was molded from Shatners face in the movie the Devil's Rain

[@Moparguy99-d8z]

The original,Halloween 2 1981 and the first Rob zombie Halloween are my favorite 3 masks.

[@raddderz]

Honorable mention: Halloween 4, Bandage michael myer mask

[@Schmidddyyy]

1. OG 78, obviously. 2. RZH1 Mask. This movie WILL get the praise it deserves in time. They deeply understood the mask was a character of its own and Rob talks a lot about how the way it's lit can change it entirely, make it show emotion even through the emotionless mask in the beind the scenes. Incredibly close to the original but feels like it's older, meaner, scarier brother. 3. Halloween 2 mask. Gotta appreciate the Warlock Stretch. 4. H2018. Looks the closest to the OG with that beautiful weathering from the RZ films. 5. RZH2 Dream Sequence. Probably the most brutal and intimidating Micahel has ever looked. 6. H6. This mask desveres so much more praise. This one is imho the best of the original sequels. Very close to the OG while still maintaining its own flare and particular brand of "Blank, pale, and emotionless" expression. It looks sinister in a way. 7. Halloween Kills / Ends. Solid masks, not solid movies. Putting them together because they're basically the same one, aside from the added mold and weathering. To note, the flashback one in Kills is near picture perfect to the OG but is only there for a few scenes so I don't want to rate it on it's own. 8. Halloween 4. Shut up if you don't like this mask. Doulble shut up if you don't like this movie. The mask would have been damn close to the OG if they didn't have to repaint them on set quickly and actually took off the eyeborws and sideburns. Fumbled the bag when it was already in the end zone. 9. RZH2 Torn Mask. Love Tyler as Micahel and honestly RZH2 was more a character study than a slasher, truly underrated. The torn mask worked for the story and Tyler made it look badass with his hobo get up. 9. H20 Stan Winston. I like this mask depending on what scene it is / how its lit. Does its job well. Doesn't look much like the OG Myers but still works. They should have just stuck with the H6 mask. 10. Halloween 5. They were going for Micahel Myers and landed somewhere near Michael Jackson. 11. H20 CGI Mask. At least it has cheek bones. 12. H20 KNB Mask. What were you even going for? Beat by a CGI mask. Embarrasing.

[@Redhood3Jokers1399]

9:40 I call it the Philip Seymour Hoffman mask

[@Hamrik_Oswald]

The H4 mask is goofy, but at the same time, for me there is still something unsettling about it. But then again maybe it has more to do with the performance of the actor and reputation of Michael Myers than the actual mask

[@erickmo1188]

Can’t wait to see that Castle stretch

[@gentalrobots3988]

The 2007 over time has become a personal favorite he looks blank and ghoulish yet fucking mean

[@TheDrexLord]

I think the 2018 mask is the best. It has just enough character to it to make him scary, but not enough to give him characteristics

[@AustinGriffin-t5e]

I didn't mind the Halloween 4 mask, he did pick it up from a Halloween store in the movie, so it's a bit more "cheap looking" I guess is the word for it. However some shots I thought it looked kind of creepy.

[@jamesoblivion]

A. Michael Lerner played the 'Additional Shape,' as he's credited for the H6 reshoots, when Wilbur couldn't return. He's quite different, physically, from Wilbur. Leaner, with broader shoulders. Additional fun fact about the Additional Shape: The doctor whose face he pushes through the bars was played by his father, Fred Lerner. Brad Hardin did also get to play the reshoot Shape, as you mentioned, in some second unit gore effect stuff that they inserted into the death scenes. So it would be his hands twisting the guy's neck as his vertebrae pop out, for instance, since he knew the props and how to handle them. I don't think Lerner gets enough credit. The H6 reshoots are some wacko left-field X-Files wannabe nonsense, but Lerner gave a good Myers performance, in his own right, in that bananapants third act that Joe Chappelle and Paul Freeman made up as they went along.

[@mitchell7309]

Halloween 2 81 is by far my favorite and the mask Dick Warlock wore was just so menacing.

[@YourBrother84]

I just finished re-hauling my first mask, a 2018, and i've grown to have a burning love with the mask. I've noticed so many details over this time that make it stand out above the rest for me. Also, just wondering if you've ever seen the two My Bloody Valentine movies and what you think about them?

[@realJoeMavro]

The Halloween Kills mask is my favorite, followed by 2018, then the original, and then Ends. I also kind of dig the H5 mask. There's just something off and kind of freaky about it.

[@nashe_clarke]

hey Chris if you had to put a list of Michael's clown mask he wore as a kid and Corey's scarecrow mask in which order would it be? Mine is like this: 3-Original 1978 clown 2-Rob Z 2007 clown 1-David G 2022 scarecrow I think these masks are worth an honorable mention at the very best.

[@RoosterMontgomery]

Starting with Part 4, why didn't they just make a new mask from scratch? Were those Star Trek masks that scarce by 1988? It's ridiculous it took so many years for them to replicate the original mask for the new trilogy's 1978 flashback scene.

[@TheRealBGregz]

Firstly, “Buechler” is pronounced beekler. Secondly, it was A. Michael Lerner that portrayed Myers for the H6 reshoots. As for Brad Hardin, he was the guy who made the mask for reshoots, but was also on set as a stand-in for A. Michael Lerner 👍🏻

[@TheTNK97]

I never knew Micheal was played by Sabretooth in the reboot lol. I only saw the first of the reboots (besides the original movies, pretty sure I saw all of those)

[@coreyalexander4766]

[@Sisren86]

The biggest thing that sets the good/decent masks apart from the goofy/bad ones is the neckline. Half of the reason the original and the DGG masks look so good is that not only do the necks taper naturally, but the edge isn't drawing any attention. Now look at H4, H5 and even RZ's Halloween. Just...ew.

[@theboogeyman4278]

Coming from someone who's favorite movie is Halloween 4, It's really annoying when people use that same still image where that super bright light shines on his mask and take away the shadows and detail from the mask, everyone knows that masks never look as good with a super bright light shined on it so why should we use that one still image as an example of how its bad?? There's plenty of shots from Halloween 4 where the mask looks arguably amazing.

[@demisemedia]

That’s actually a good point! I remember watching Halloween 4 on cable tv at my grandma’s house and as soon as I saw Michael’s mask I was like “Nope!
