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.

For two years, I didn’t know I had the t shirt Michael wore. Well got something off the list

[@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.

[@johndetheshape3095]

Michael myers with a Pony tail 😂👌

[@reddragon8289]

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.

[@trippindaze]

Man i hate seeing that happend to the original mask but not all things last forever and plus this video was great chris

[@jacobkeary6740]

At least it can still loom spoopy in its old age

[@spitz5183]

Dr. Loomis You’re right, Loomis.

[@ALBO4REAL]

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

[@turkeyleg1]

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]

@@turkeyleg1 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!!

[@SimonGhostRiley143]

The whole point is to have you dead one way or another lol

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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).

[@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🎃🔪

[@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

[@likehell5803]

This looks amazing. Spot on work!

[@Roystothecoolkid]

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

[@shawnallen9135]

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

[@iicustoms1]

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

[@benkenobi8328]

THANKYOU Chris for this tutorial I got my ToTs mask and I’m not very happy with the paint job so I’m going to be following these steps

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.

Awesome as always Brother! Thanks for another great and very informative video! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

[@thelonelykidz3358]

That spooky start though!

[@NoonMight]

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

[@HalloweenHooligans]

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

[@55batmanandjoker]

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

[@Ellie_ipv8]

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

[@viniciusvalois2634]

The boots are my favourite part of the cosplay!

[@julianstier3821]

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

That looks so ACCURATE to the film

[@GatlinsFuckinCornfield]

I'm just glad they went with the original mask as a base

[@Dmalay12]

You’re so talented!

[@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.

[@ShotgunSandwichENT]

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

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

[@stinkyify]

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

[@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!?

[@PullThePluGz]

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]

Wow! Nobody gives a fuck, like buddy Micheal could use a screwdriver and still nobody would care.

[@jalencheadle6595]

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

[@smokinjofyf3405]

I mixed liquid latex body paint and basic white paint and it works very well. It's a working progress

[@MTOFilmTVBeaconTrailStudio]

Nicely done, mate!

[@lidobeachtowersmanagement9841]

real tight bro, nice job

[@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)

[@xititanix6990]

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

[@AidanFarren-Hart]

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

[@ethanstarbloom6127]

Could you maybe try and recreate the movie poster of michael looking down?

[@noahcain7885]

Love ya Chris and these looked so good on ya insta

[@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!

[@wingnutz3008]

Just awesome!

[@josephoberzan1331]

Any tips on repainting the mask? I want to repaint my ToTS mask but I’ve never done anything like this before

[@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.

[@Dreaklock]

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

Very cool video!!! Shape on!!!

[@CinematicTendency]

Great research, Chris!

[@johngurnhill4633]

Great costume

[@JesterTester]

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?

[@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.

[@jareddaves5168]

Favorite scary Michael Myers

[@Shad0wman96]

BADASS MASK!

[@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.

[@thornofsociety6857]

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

[@sightseeing7993]

The paint job thing scares me so much, I'm going to just use the Halloween 2 mask.

[@joshkelnhofer5454]

Awesome video man!

[@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..

[@Kennethstupi]

Sick thanks for sharing!

[@rubenschannel1]

Here’s a tip that makes all the difference. Sow black netting over the eyes from the back. Gives that hollow, soulless feel.

[@sandiego9816]

Would u recommend a hair dryer on warm to strip the paint? Using this as alternative to drummel and cotton tip since i dont have.

[@wadewilson2605]

I used a Coleman steel toe work boots and it worked well

[@thebatman911]

Awesome intro!

[@louisnewton8027]

[@LisaMontgomery79]

Hey Chris love your channel, just subbed. Was wondering, what sheen of oil paint did you use for your undercoat. Flat, satin, or glossy. Also did you seal the final piece?

[@daveandoldsport4799]

Hey man bun your doing great on all your vids keep up

[@berniemadow1722]

Which Dremel tip did you use in removing factory paint? I looked up cotton dremal attachment but came up with different types.

[@thecougar2383]

You going to supanova Adelaide or Brisbane in that or Mr Whippy Chris?

[@mornecloete4250]

My battle damage mask actually looks great without a repaint

[@joshglynn7811]

Did you make a video just covering how you repainted the mask? I'd love to see that

[@jfcustoms3115]

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

[@gabriellataveiros4865]

[@LoganKohn]

Do you have a link to the shirt? Can't find one that looks like the film

[@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.

[@MrE215_]

Wow your talented

[@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
