HALLOWEEN and HALLOWEEN II were, are and forever-will-be my favorites of the HALLOWEEN film franchise. In my opinion no sequels have even came close to the magic of the first two.
However, there is one other entry that still captured quite a bit of the original magic and that entry is HALLOWEEN 4.
The characters, Halloween/Fall setting and the return of Michael are all key reasons for my love of this movie. It isn’t perfect by any measure but still very solid.
One thing that I REALLY love in H4 is the Vincent Drug Store scene where Rachel takes Jamie to buy a costume. This scene is great and reminds me of my own childhood and the magic of Halloween.
_Inside of Vincent’s (“We have the best costumes in the whole town!”) are some great masks to be found. Due to my love of this scene I have vowed to try and gather them and recreate this scene (mask wise) into my collection.
I’m hard at work trying to do just this and will share my newest entries with you guys along the way. I hope some of you will find this to be fun or at least be able to put up with my excitement and share my enthusiasm!
My first score is the controversial (as in origins of the mask) “Drug Store Kirk”. This is the “white mask” that Michael steals from Vincent’s which looks like a partially converted Kirk mask. The mask has been sprayed white but the sideburns are left mostly intact and the eyes are still left in Kirk form. I think the mask has a neat unique look and found it to be a great place to start my collection of the Drug Store masks._
Lucky for me Sam McCain had did a couple of these Drug Store Kirks already and a member here at MM.Net (Psycho Si) had just recently put one up in classifieds. I contacted him and acquired the mask allowing me to have one mask down in my quest of collecting this set.
Hope you guys enjoy it and I’ll be posting a few new scores in the near future. As usual, thanks for looking and sharing the excitement!
Cool score. Great piece to add to your collection.
Benny my Brother, you know I share your enthusiasm! I hope you complete the Vincent Drug mask line. I’m still working on it.
Slasher75 - Thanks man, I appreciate you!
And Todd - Brudda T, love that display man! The DP Mummy is one of my all-time favorite masks and I’ve always loved the Seemore! Great copy of the Blood Count too man, you always know how to do it up right buddy.
such an awesome piece benny. i am also on the hunt for that kirk once i get caught up on a few other things i am paying on. do you plan on whitening it up or are you just leaving it as is? either way, that mask is a great way to start of your H4 collection. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
mike
Thanks Mike, hope to see you snag one soon!
I will leave the paint as is unless I change my mind, it is whiter in person but also has a nice vintage look to it. The hair however WILL be redone, that’s the only thing I don’t like about this mask in fact.
This pic reminds me more of the paintup as it appears on mine btw:
wow, thats a great copy…im glad its going to a good home
I completely agree with you, Benny. H4 does have a great Halloween vibe just as the first two. That’s a fine way to start your quest. I myself would love to own a Seemore. Very cool mask indeed. Congratulations brudda!
Awesome idea, Benny! Good luck with your search - I’m sure it won’t be easy.

I can’t wait to see the full line up, Benny! Like we were discussing on the phone, I think you should go all out with the background and all!
Love your enthusiasm brother!
Man it would be too cool to see the hole lineup in an ikea case with a custom vincents drug sign on top.

Nice thread Benny, I do miss the mask, but space is premium. Yes the mask is a bit whiter than the pics as I had quite a warm white balance on those pics. Can’t wait to see the Vincent DS collection grow, great idea.
fantastic score man love those HSS h4 drug store masks
The Shape of Fear - thanks bro, I was really pleased with the way this one looks.
xPSYCHOPATH - Thanks bro, I love the Seemore as well and in fact will be th enext one I post!
THEMADBUG - Thanks man, yeah some of these pieces are quite hard to find…the Gorilla I’m not even sure what it is!
James - Thanks man, I love this stuff buddy. I’m definitely hoping to add some of the background as well for sure. I want it to be my “time machine” back to being a kid and seeing great masks all lined up ready to buy.
badnewskruse - I like that Vincent Drug Store sign idea! I may incorporate that into the display!
Psycho Si - thanks man and thanks for selling him to me. It’s a standout copy for sure man.
