Here are some pictures of the original mask and coveralls Nick Castle wore in the new Halloween movie. In the photo with his costume designer they are clearly Charcoal. In the photo holding the mask they appear a distressed Navy Blue. While Charcoal does give off a bluish tint depending on the lightly it’s not as deep a blue as the one in the photo so it’s most likely they are Navy Blue. Keep in mind there may have been more than one pair of coveralls used in the movie as there were 2 actors playing Michael namely Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney.
I saw the new TOTS mask at a Spirit Halloween store but didn’t think the paintwork looked like the original so I didn’t buy it. Maybe that explains why there are so many repaints of the mask on ebay.
They are apparently Charcoal washed in Navy, but I have yet to see the proof, but what also can make the Charcoal blue is the white balance on the camera in the second picture
I just got my pair of brand new charcoal 9.5 Workrites in the mail from opentip.com. You can’t go wrong with either color, both give off the same effect. Very nice heavy duty coveralls. Bit of a shame actually to rough them up now.
Yeah lighting is going to play a major role no matter what. Especially if you have kids you’re taking out to trick-or-treat, the color will look accurate at nighttime no matter which color you go for
I was going to grab a pair of Workrites but couldn’t justify the price for my size. I grabbed another Lamson from Tim and feel my money was better spent that way. When I get my mask overhauled I will probably grab the rest of the gear but for now I’m happy
Yeah, I’ve got navy blue coveralls and also charcoal reeds and figure the same. No one cares or will notice except hardcore fans and collectors in this hobby
Hey brother I will look for the exact posts and get the screenshots for you! It was all but 100% confirmed that they were Charcoal dyed Denim Blue. Even JJC said the same, the only people that didn’t comment on it were the actual FX team who designed them but I am sure that is to keep some mystery before the opening of the film! But yeah man I will get you the messages I am going to go look right now
The charcoal photographs differently depending on lighting and the camera. These are unaltered charcoal Workrites photographed on the same day by different people:
Yeah lighting truly plays a huge factor and it is insane how different it can make the coveralls look. To me, all of those honestly look navy blue! I really feel with this film you can’t go wrong with either colorway. It is awesome we know the exact brand and model and considering most of us will be out at night, people are going to think Michael walked straight out of the screen and into their nightmares
That’s awesome to hear. Judging by your photos it seems there isn’t even a need to get them worked on as the charcoal pull off almost the same exact look we’ve seen in stills from the film and the trailers
Looks like Nick’s mask is much bigger than the TOTS mask. How hard would it have been to offer two sizes? Guess Zephro can’t get people to double-dip that way.
