Caring for your Michael Myers mask, coveralls, shoes, knife

Hey Guys!

I currently have a Big Mac JC Penny Coveralls, the Vietnam jungle boots, horror express studios 78 knife, and receiving my order of the Dirtknap FX Lamson as well as N.O. The Creep!

I am curious what advice you guys can give when taking care of these items! I am planning to wear my coveralls, boots, and the creep to an upcoming comic conn in the future! What should I do after wearing them? How should I clean them and care for them after use? Thanks!

As far as the coveralls, boots and knife are concerned. I wouldn’t do anything special with them at all. Just hang the coveralls up somewhere and store the boots and knife anywhere you want. In all actuality the more wear and tear those items get the better. You want a worn look to those items. As for the mask… get a glass cabinet to store it in and it should last decades. Actually it should last you the rest of your life if you keep it clean on the inside and wipe it out with a little soapy water each time you wear it and then toss some corn starch in there and wipe it out again. I have masks from 1968, 1978 and 1980 that are still in mint condition. :wink:

OK! I heard I can also use baby powder to wipe the inside of the mask after use. Should I hand wash the coveralls and hang it out in the sun to dry, or machine wash is safe?

Machine wash is safe. Read about the pros and cons of using baby powder vs corn starch. You’ll be surprised.

Ok! Do you know how much corn starch I should When cleaning the mask? Thanks for the reply!

Just a light dusting.

Does anyone wear anything under there mask like a see thru black over the face mask of some sort that they recommend that helps keep a mask dry when wearing

Yeah I do, and it works pretty well. It blacks out the eyes as well so two birds with one stone:

Nice :+1:t3: exactly what I was looking for TY

what do you use exactly? some lycra?

No the product I use is 95% polyester and 5% spandex, I havnt noticed any sweat or anything on the mask when wearing it. I also wear it sometimes when I wear my gen 2 fantastic faces since the eye mesh on those arent very thick.

The link doesn’t work, could be the reason why I didn’t see anything on your first post :laughing:

Oh sorry lol, let’s see if this one works: https://www.amazon.com/Forum-Novelties-Mens-Disappearing-Black/dp/B00CJ0LNOG/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1547149494&sr=8-10&keywords=Black+spandex+hood

In case that doesnt work heres a picture of the page


nope, it’s all pitch black, but if this is the result for blacking out your Myers’ eyes it seems to work pretty good :smiley: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I’m going to buy that lol. I heard a lot of mix opinions about putting powder on latex masks, and I heard that powder absorbs moisture from the mask and leaves it dry, cracking the paint. At least that is what I heard for baby powder, but I am not sure for corn starch.

Now I see the screenshot, looks good, hopefully you can see and breath through it

RD303 Aerospace. Highly recommend it. Extends the .ask’s lifespan.

What is that? I searched it up and all I see is metal lol.

How well can you see through that? What about if you are trick or treating at night?

Does it get hot when you wear it with the Myers mask? Thanks!
