how many masks were used in 1978 halloween?

im kind of confused because i thought they used only one mask in halloween but in one picture on the set of the movie it clearly shows two masks so help on this question.

To my knowlege there was 3, the main mask and 2 oter masks used for stunts

Who has that Coupe De Villes pic of the after party? Can ya post it for these fine people?

Thanks Jay!! Castle is lead (wearing the Hero)…Carpenter on Guitar & Tommy Lee on Back up! :smiley:

No prob bro! Damn, wouldn’t it be cool if a video existed of this?

Killer jam session :mrgreen:

That’s a great pic :sunglasses:

I wish there was a way to enlarge the image and still be clear. Would be nice to see what the weathering on the masks looked liked after filming.

Killer pic, showing all three holy grails together… :open_mouth:

Love that pic, thanks for posting it!!! I agree a video of this party would have been awesome to see.

I found the other pic :smiley: Here they are unmasked. You can see masks laying behind them on the floor…

Not to mention the one or ones Don Post made for the film. But they were’nt actaully used.

well, those pics show 3 masks. So that would be one hero, one stunt mask and one backup. We know the hero was again used in HII, as was the stunt mask. But that leaves the backup mask. The backup could have been the mask burned in the end. So that still supports 3. But then theres the tramer, and the select couple rumored backup masks made for hII we have seen around, and the one don post made for the film as well. Considering tramer had kirky hair, and not dark hair, it wasnt a converted stunt or backup, so my guess is this

one hero

one stunt mask

one backup, fully converted

at least 2 backup kirks, un converted

bill malones converted kirk not used



though as for what ones were used in 78 id guess the 3 mentioned before, but considering the chances that there were in fact more on set, theres always the possibilty of more
