Any idea what the mask will look like for Halloween 2018?

I wouldn’t read too much into people saying it looks exactly like the original mask. I’ve shown many masks to people in the years, people who work in movies and are horror buffs. What looks spot on to one person will not to someone else. I always remember a few years ago when someone posted a hero mask from one of the films but didn’t mention what it was, and people were criticising it for not being accurate enough.

If the mask resembles the original in anyway I’ll be happy. I don’t like angry look of the Resurrection mask, or the spiky hair on the H20. From the very blurry first picture of Nick that we saw, and the shadow pic he posted, things are looking good. I just think it’s impossible to hope it looks like the original, as it probably won’t. As someone said earlier, to create something original is easy, but to replicate something original is much, much harder.

All I know is with the hype of this movie, talk of John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Nick Castle, a new KH mask on the horizon and a company like TOTs selling Maniacs and Psychos for £59, it’s a great time for us Halloween fans to be around in.

Took the words out of my mouth. This community has a deep understanding of the original masks, but the special effects crew may only have gotten as far as “Captain Kirk painted white, got it.” This mask definitely won’t have the flesh tones or mark-for-mark weathering we’re used to from our replicas. It may not even be stretched but sculpted to Castle’s face. It’ll be it’s own mask, and I personally enjoy the unique look each film’s mask has to offer.

This mask has to have been visited by Father Time! 40 years later this mask can’t look like it did in H1 or H2.
