Production designer Tommy Lee Wallace says that Michael Myers’ Halloween mask is actually a Captain Kirk mask modeled after William Shatner. Wallace says he bought the original mask at a magic shop on Hollywood Boulevard. He made the eye holes bigger, cut out the eyebrows and sideburns and painted the mask white.
Uproxx quotes William Shatner as saying, “I recognized it as the death mask they had made for me. They made a mask of my face on Star Trek out of clay so I would not have to be available for the prosthetics they would have to put on my face to look old or evil or whatever it was they were making me look like. So somewhere along the line, someone got that mask and made a mask of it for [the holiday] Halloween.”
