Unfortunately for me, the last couple of years I haven’t been in a position to do much with my Michael Myers costume. I envy those of you that have gone somewhere and had a blast! Hopefully next year I’ll have an opportunity. Nonetheless…about 4 years ago I went to a club and there was a costume contest. I wasn’t even in the first group of call backs. I had a solid Maniac mask, but it doesn’t hold a candle to my current H78/JC. Some of you have some great masks as well. That being said…
Have any of you actually won a costume contest wearing your Myers costume? To the TRAINED eye, we all can recognize the accuracy of a independent mask maker’s Michael Myers mask. To a normal person, they either don’t care or hardly notice any difference between our amazing masks vs. the cheap mass produced masks. Although most people that see mine say things like, “Wow, that is a really good mask. It looks just like the movie!”
Being Michael Myers in a costume contest isn’t original by any means. Most people who win are in something ‘creative’ or stupid: like a big penis or half naked. So although we know when we put on our Big Macs, jungle boots, $500 accurate Myers mask that has been altered by the legendary JC…we have THE best costume. The most realistic. The most accurate. It is often not “original” and not a winning costume.
Entering costume contests is certainly not why I am interested in Myers masks, but sometimes it’s a fun thing to do if you’re at a place around Halloween that has one going on.
So has anyone has success?
