Why did the mask from “HALLOWEEN 2” look different?

Which is your favorite Michael Myers mask?

There's a couple of rumors and speculation as to why the mask in Halloween 4 didn't look the same. somebody (cannot remember who) made a video when asked and said that the Original Kirk masks came "pink" in color with blonde/silver hair. they tried to re-paint them. the Paint they used just didn't cake well and caused the look of the H4. THE Halloween II Mask was the same mask used in 1978, but it was in an environment where there was smoking and bad temperature. when you wear a halloween mask that's latex, what tends to happen is moisture and heat degrade it and cause decomposition of the latex.

I saw that about the "pink color" and "blonde hair". I believe there is a few scenes that slipped through with the blonde hair. hahaha

How do expect Michael to have the same exact mask in H4 when he was burned alive at the end of H2? It would never be the same.

[@Thirt13nthD]

@@dmvnative90skid63 well, if we're going by movie theory : The mask used in 1978 would more than likely be a mass produced mask in most costume stores around Haddonfield. So it's possible that 7 years later (Halloween 4) that mask or a variant would still be around

@@Thirt13nthD In movie theory H2 takes place in 1978. There's a 10 year difference. That may be the case, but logically speaking I don't think Michael Myers himself in H4 cared to have the exact mask as H1/H2.

Because the mask Michael wore in part two went up in flames so why the hell would he have the exact same mask? I don’t even know how this is even a topic anymore. Let alone the documentaries that I’ve gone great length explaining this in details and the other 300 KZbinrs who have covered this topic.

As someone stated below, the mask will NEVER look the same from H2 to H4 because he was burned at the end of H2. And people complain that Michael was too big and bulky in H4...duh, he was in a coma for 10 years. Was he supposed to eat clean and workout 5 days a week? H4 in my opinion may have a goofy mask, but it's not the worst! And the movie itself is better than the original. H2 is better than the original too!
