The Shape Mask 2018 w/ Nick Castle Halloween Christopher Nelson James Jude Courtney Michael Myers

[@shanedenny5234]

Nick Castle has to be one of the coolest, down to earth guys. Not big headed at all. He simply appreciates the opportunity and just as much or maybe even more appreciates what he was involved in has created such a fan base and cult phenomenon. Just appreciative of everybody and everything. 👍

[@AntiGenZandY]

The 2018 mask looks great when Nick wears it. It's got that elongated stretch when he wears it, making it actually look like the original but aged. Really awesome.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

I did notice how, in the face-to-face shot of Nick and James grabbing each other by the throat, Nick looked like an aged version of the famous 1978 still of Michael choking Laurie in the hallway. I wish he'd done more scenes in the 2018 film. However, James Jude Courtney was excellent, and probably the second best Michael of all time, with Dick Warlock not far behind.

@@MK-ng6wu Styrofoam doesn't really effect latex, but It drys out vinyl and makes it crunchy and deformed. The Styrofoam will actually melt to the vinyl masks, which is why so many Don Post masks from the 60's and 70's that were on styrofoam are all rock hard and brittle now. Hope this clears the air a bit.

[@Strangenstein]

Oh how I wish Nick would’ve played more of The Shape in the 2018 film. I so wanted to see that unique gait again! The mask is iconic, but Mr. Castle’s walk is also a huge part of the character.

[@Morgothslackey]

I think James did a great job and pretty much got it right. He also looks a lot more menacing under the mask with that dead eye. I agree though, you can’t replace Nick.

[@theblackesteyesthedevilseyes]

Nick was "out of shape" back in 2018, he had a "beer belly" but he trained hard and slimmed down in 2019 / 2020.

[@marcusmcgill4423]

Nick was never a stunt guy. Carpenter just loved how Nick walked and that's how he became 'The Shape' back in the original. JJC is a stuntman and to me personally, he had Nick's movements, but also had the ferocity of Tyler Mane when it came to the kills.

"Lets take it out in the sun" *Shows it in the shade* lol

[@grannysgonerabid7425]

Sean, I was wondering if you could clear up two things about the original Shape mask from 1978. Tommy Wallace made 3 of them, but only one survived for use in Halloween 2 and it's said to be the one Castle wore and not one of the stunt prop ones. 1. The popular story is Debra Hill had Caste's mask stored it in a box under her bed and it looked yellowed and grimy because of her heavy smoking habit. This never made sense to me. Smoke rises. If she had Castle's Shape mask in a box under her bed, it would have never been exposed to the cigarette smoke and nicotene staining. 2. Then I had heard a different story. I heard Nick had the mask all along and kept displayed it over his fireplace and that's how the mask got grimy and yellowed due to exposure to sunlight, possible fireplace smoke, heat etc. over the years. Supposedly, when Debra Hill called him to see if he wanted to be in Halloween 2 and he declined she asked if he still had the mask and if they could use it because the other copies were lost. Castle agreed to loan it only to never it get back because Dick Warlock hung onto it. 3. Also heard a rumor that the state of the mask was so bad that director Rick Rosenthal had the prop guys replace the hair with new, dark rust colored hair that when clued in place clung to the crown of the mask which is why it has the matted down, slicked back look throughout the film. Do you have any idea which is the true story?

[@jennifermalone8544]

[@Cuttersway]

I personally feel like the more details and wrinkles and dirt it has the less scary it is. It’s all about the simplicity of the mask in the original I think. The whiteness of it. Blankness. That said, having it weathered and worn makes absolute sense, continuity-wise, for a film set 40 years later, and I’d take this mask over any of the sequel masks post-Halloween II (1981) any old day of the week.

[@artdearcos]

Wow,now this was a real treat....AWESOME!

[@syunafrost351]

I love that in the 2018 reboot because michael myers aged 40 years they even made his mask look like it aged with him. I have the halloween kills mask and the classic 1978 one both rehauled and I love the new design almost as much as the original 1978 one.

[@curtisphotographyandvideos6469]

I'm confident that he knows whether it is fine or not and I have stored latex masks on the same displays for my haunted attraction for the 17 years in the industry and have never had any problems. It depends more on the quality of the mask and the latex blend used than the head it is displayed on.

You can just tell its the OG Nick Castle behind the mask because of the Shape it takes (no pun intended) when it sits on his face, as opposed to James Jude Courtney's face behind the mask.
