Screen Accurate Michael Myers Halloween 2018 Cosplay!

[@blitzwalker6370]

I like how they made this one of the most iconic masks by just spray painting it white and cutting the eyelids and sideburns. Quite ingenious and cheap. Never ceases to amaze me how costumes and props can be a huge range of expensive to cheap as dirt and at the same time varying in range of intricacy and simplicity.

[@Vandicoup]

BlitzWalker That’s Mega Corps. for ya! They like to cut corners any way possible while the more smaller, independent makers take their time to craft such masterpiece classics that we so rarely and inconsistently see from time to time.

He got that Lip Gallagher lip

[@VisualparanormalChannel]

To accomplish the dead eye look and to make it look authentic was relatively simple. I took a real metal hanger and straightened it out. Once I got it straight I carefully jabbed the tip into my right eye. Once it healed and I was out of the hospital it looked very white and milky. Be careful because as I did I poked the wrong eye out. Now I can poke out my left eye and do a dead on Michael Myers at end of Halloween II.

At least it can still loom spoopy in its old age

Dr. Loomis You’re right, Loomis.

[@ALBO4REAL]

Its literally the same mask but with a worn out look tbh its better than the original.

[@TurkeysLeg]

John Carpenters girlfriend (Deborah hill) kept it under her bed for years and didn't take care of it and also she was a chain smoker so the mask naturally yellowed over time.. she is to blame for destroying the mask

[@glennwelsh9784]

@@TurkeysLeg She did keep it under her bed for a couple years, until it was reused to film Halloween II. But after filming was done, stunt performer Dick Warlock was allowed to keep the mask, along with the coveralls and boots he wore during production, as he was told by the filmmakers "we're never doing another one with him (Michael Myers) again." The pic Chris shows was taken very recently after Dick gave the mask to a collector who ran a haunted attraction at which Dick did appearances for. Latex decays and rots over time, it's not sturdy. However, you can keep it in good shape (hehe) if you take great care of it by properly storing and maintaining it. It doesn't seem that Mr. Warlock took great efforts to preserve the mask, he probably just kept it in a box in a closet somewhere.

[@Eseramses]

I love how you went from being a serious iconic killer to a dancing killer😂😂😂😂that had me dying!!

I also have long hair. When I wear my Micheal Myers mask it's a bit difficult to hide my hair. I don't know how they did that in the Rob Zombie Movies.

[@DanielS2001]

I'm a member of the RPF, and I have to say this is a very excellent breakdown of all the items for this cosplay, as well for the original costume in the first film.

[@shawnallen9135]

Could you go over step by step in a video on how to strip the Myers mask?

[@26datdude]

very detailed. This is for the person who wants to stand out at the party where theres 10 people dressed as Michael with clothing/props from party city and boots from payless. GREAT JOB! ive been Michael every year since i was in 7th grade lol even won a few trophies.

[@Drivenut4]

I love those coveralls.. i've been wearing red kaps, and keeping an eye out for vintage big macs, but these look like the best

[@sockapus7059]

Yet another great cosplay! It was also really interesting learning about how the original mask was made

[@kevinpauly6342]

When you read and showed the undershirt I did a double take.. I have the exact same shirt in that color and have for years. It’s one of my favorite plain shirts to wear haha

[@ShotgunSandwichENT]

Great stuff! Can you please share the paint mixture/ratio? You described the ingredients you used, but not how much of each. Thanks!

[@Warlord2029]

Just went and saw it second time in IMAX...just as good as the first time! Digging the look of the mask and the overall take🎃🔪

[@Chalor.]

Michael Myers; hands down the most iconic/cheapest character you can dress up as..well Jason too.

[@jeremydrew1227]

I wouldn't say cheapest.

[@dearcastiel4667]

Gohstface is probably even cheaper to get an accurate cosplay, while Jason needs prosthetics to get his head like in the movies, Gohstface the only thing that will cost some money is a Buck120 knife prop, the whole costume itself is like 20-50$ (depending on retailer) and the rest you probably have at home (maybe not the black leather gloves).

[@pamelavoorhees630]

Awesome video!!! I’m still waiting for the mask and the coveralls. I got the boots today. Keep up the great work! Don’t let Jason know that I’m here

I really like the idea of adding the flesh tone to the neck, great work Chris!

[@GhostfaceNW]

in 1978 the mask was a don post studios william shatner mask made in 1975 and was then spray painted appliance white, cut the eyes, teared off the side burns and eyebrows then spray painted the hair a darker brownish black.

[@Roystothecoolkid]

Just ordered the undershirt! Everything else I already have and with the coverall and boots I use every day at work lol

[@Flowers_in_my_heart]

that model session was deeply unsettling in none of the typical halloween ways

[@brians_casual_shenanigans]

Nice work, man. I'll definitely have to remember that mixture for when I rehaul my masks. Oh, ToTS are actually bringing out the eye prosthetic.

[@TylerSnyder305]

They dropped the ball where the knife is concerned in this movie. The 8" blade is a bit of a let down, they could have at least went with a 10" blade. That 12" patina'd carbon steel blade of the Case large chef / carver used in the first movie just has a much more menacing look. But I'm partial to vintage carbon cutlery anyways, from the kitchen to the belt or in my pocket that's what I prefer.

[@guyverxx]

Yeah bet you wouldn't say that dumb shit if someone came at you with that. Fuq outta here, did you even watch what he did with that shit!?

[@Utoobzz]

Michael actually uses the Case knife (Or similar) in the new film - when he impales Dave's head to the kitchen wall. You can see Vicky washing the knife in the sink as a bit of foreshadowing.

[@imamystery2810]

[@chloeenarc]

I saw a cosplay where the guy put a black eyeshadow around his eyes to give his eyes a more cold and dead look, also great video👍

[@NoonMight]

I like how he lifts up the collar too, seems “cool” and more menacing

[@likehell5803]

This looks amazing. Spot on work!

[@gunplanut]

Bought myself the navy blue coveralls and they actually look pretty acute to the movies and the figures I own. I’m doing some sun bleaching, worn them in the yard and have already run them through the wash a few times, sandpaper distressing and put a couple holes in it to represent stabs/gunshots.

[@jerryknuckles736]

My dad is 69. His hands are gnarly as hell. He's a perfect fit for the costume. I want him in it so bad. He's already the master of lurking. I swear. He could get himself killed it would look so good.

[@ThornOfSociety]

Now I just want to see Michael Myers with a ponytail in a film. The end for some reason makes me think of Sting from WCW/TNA/WWE

[@conorholloway8847]

Another awesome costume! I think one final feature that would really make the mask would be a black see-through fabric that you could glue to the inside of the mask for the eyes, as Michael Myers' mask has pure black eye holes. Was a fantastic costume nonetheless.

[@EarlyArt206]

Maybe when you see him in the dark he has pure black eye holes. Definitely not in the light though. Chis's eyes were so vivid because his lighting was right in front of him. If the lighting was only right above him in a dimly lit room then the eye holes would look much darker and creepier. You have an interesting idea, I would just hate to see him turn this screen accurate mask into something ridiculous

[@EarlyArt206]

Maybe he could just bring his skin tone around his eyes down a few shades. Like batman makeup under the cowl just not as dark ya know?

[@Luke101]

Looks phenomenal! My only advice would be to add a little bit of shading under the lower lip because right now it looks like he’s biting his bottom lip! Kinky Mike

[@matthewgresham7060]

Hey Chris, love the video!! This isn't related but I had a question, how can I weather a suede jacket without damaging it? I know suede is fragile and I don't want to ruin a $100 plus jacket

I wish you would do a screen accurate version of the Halloween 6 Michael. I love his look.

[@AidanFarren-Hart]

For the coveralls, would you recommend a long or regular fit? Awesome video, Chris! 😀

[@spironpoolma]

The mask looks great while on display but once you put it on i noticed that it looks like it bitting it lower lip and it was weird instead of scaring it look like it was looking to tease and take a picture or something.

[@kleverstudios]

This is why I chose to dress as ‘78 Michael, easier to find. I’m also the same height as Nick Castle when he was in Halloween. So, ya know. Seemed like it was meant to be.

[@xititanix6990]

If you want a James Jude Courtneys Mike mask look just add some Velcro to the back of the neck

[@55batmanandjoker]

Wow looks great and, duuude i think it looks even scarier when the eyes are visible it just had a really special look

[@viniciusvalois2634]

The boots are my favourite part of the cosplay!

[@briansirle9248]

That video was pretty dope. But do you protect the paint from coming off when you wear it?

[@DaanKriid]

It should have been mixed with liquid latex, and that would have made it much more flexible, allowing for massive amount of movement

[@jbrewer4900]

How much would you charge to make another mask? That's ridiculously good quality, a lot better then I could ever do. Please hit me up?

[@deterrencedbeat]

Go to trick r treat studios chief

[@DaanKriid]

@@deterrencedbeat I think he means a repaint, I could be wrong though

[@CharliMTF]

I personally like my Myers masks to have blacked out eyes but that mask is beautiful enough for me to get over it

[@benkenobi8328]

Chris I’m having some major trouble stripping the paint off the mask I really need some advice on this

[@digomma78]

Right? He just peels it off like a skin? I've tried the dremel method and it just wears the paint away in spots and whatever's left on the mask doesn't exactly peel off at all! I've even tried lacquer thinner and that original paint isn't going anywhere! I would love to get the original paint off so that all the those details are fresh and don't just get filled up with fresh paint. Send help!

[@DaanKriid]

My advice is to get a little peel of latex coming off, such as when you pull off a piece of hair near the neck, and then peel the rest off with your hand by hand, it can be hell though, so beware

[@Haunter_Who88]

I have everything but the boots and knife. I am just happy i am not the only one alone that missed on the boots which i still need and as far as coveralls go i have washed them many times (double duty as Haunt coveralls)

[@Cutelatinguy2]

It sounds older the way you say "way back in the 70s!!" LOL

[@julianstier3821]

i would have loved, seeing a complete making of the new mask...yours look so damn good!

[@jfcustoms3115]

What are the measurements you used for the mix you used to paint on the mask?

[@cosmicjenny4508]

The thing I dislike most about the H20 mask is the fact you can see Michael’s eyes too much. I love this mask so much because Michael Myers doesn’t just look like a man in a mask... he looks like an entity, with nothing behind the mask, no emotion, no nothing. It’s creepy, and I love it.

[@jalencheadle6595]

2:47 the original mask looks more terrifying than what it did when the movie first came out 😬

[@bottlecap7533]

When I was Michael for Halloween (which is tomorrow) a few years back, I used black and brown crayola markers to get the dirty effect!

[@stinkyify]

And that knife is still as sharp today, as it was back then.

[@NightmareShopStudios]

Well an idea for the painting, do as they did in the 1978 film, an aplayance white paint with some tones for the dirty part

[@HalloweenHooligans]

Thank you so much for the information on the costume. Really appreciate it thanks

[@Larfmield0007]

Maybe add some black mesh... after all Doctor Loomis mentioned Michael had the Blackest of eyes... The Devil's eyes

[@llcruize]

Excellent job with the mask. I have to say your DIY updates are some of the best I have seen. It is a shame that the mask has to be updated as much as it is, but from what I understand, the price ToTS is selling it at, even having to do DIY it is a great bargain compared to buying from an independent.

[@nicetry7409]

Nice, another Halloween fan from Australia 👏 the cosplay looks awesome btw

Hey Chris, just wondering......what was the ratio of rubber cement to oil paint and thinners did you use. Also did you use plain white oil paint?

[@KDR97]

Great video dude, the costume looked so awesome. Got a request for you to do the Daredevil black ninja suit from the Netflix show!!

[@Mrjedite]

Would you recommend painting around your eyes in black? Would it look better?

[@Tchernobog]

the grey color always looks blue or even green in a lot of lighting. I had that issue with Roy's coveralls from friday 5 and the Tunneler puppet from Puppet Master, the crew said his uniform was blue but the prop looks olive/grey in certain lighting.

[@gooseneckgaming]

[@SergeantFknLag]

I think if you added a black mesh behind the eyes it’d look 100x better. Just my opinion but I feel like being able to see the eyes makes it a lot less creepy

[@thatmetalslasher]

Does the mask rub against the collar of the coveralls cause that’s how it is for me

[@JurgenMeOfff]

Could you do a tutorial repaint on the mask please

[@animateangus]

I'd maybe paint a dark area around your eyes, just to get that 'blackest eyes' vibe!

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

I know its a mish mash mashup. But I think a Micheal Myers wearing the overalls from Star Trek Enterprise would be pretty cool. Maybe wielding a Klingon knife or even the Cooks Club chef knife used by Joseph Sisko in DS9.

[@busiestnebula5186]

Sick af Ik it wouldn't necessarily be accurate but some black eye makeup would look sick and really give that soulless eyes look or like lumis says "the blackest eyes"

[@kirkpritchard]

I'm glad you got the coveralls correct. I've seen many videos of people claiming they're Navy 🙄 I got everything screen accurate except the undershirt 😔

[@That_Chaplin_chap]

i made higer heels inside the shoes..works perfect..if u wanna be taller..the hanh shoulders a bit more down..on yr head a cut out hat so the mask fits better if the mask is a bitbigger sculpted..underneath a big loose joggong pants and a undershirt thick with sleeves and the undershirt grayish on top of it..
