Hey all. Trying to be more active on the forums nowadays as I get pretty bored and unfortunately not much goes on in the nets Facebook group. I just wanted to share these two selfies I took on Halloween of me in full costume wearing the Stretch Kirk from NAG. I often take these selfies to make sure the mask looks right as unfortunately my head is a bit big for the mask and I have to manipulate things around to make sure it pulls off the Castle Stretch look… At least from the front lol
I am really happy with how the mask looks worn here. Growing up I’ve always noticed how the mask in most shots of H1 looks distorted, and I’m glad there are masks out there to accommodate this look as I’m a huge stickler for it. When I want a movie-accurate Myers I take that term literally and often look for the masks that capture how the mask looks on the actor’s head.
I hope this post helps boost the popularity of the Kirk Stretch as surprisingly I haven’t seen much interest in them, which could be because of the recent controversy with NAG (recent as in probably a few months ago). Regardless though the mask really captures the look of what you see in H1.
Looks great man! Yeah, I agree, I also prefer masks with a built in stretch to mimic the actor wearing it. It just makes the mask that much more accurate in my opinion.
Some great selfies there, man, the lighting really works in your favour too, the net Facebook group is nothing compared to being on here lately, a lot more great activity
Great photos. Looks amazing. I’m getting ready to order one as well I’m just on the fence between the castle 75k and the Kirk stretch. Just keep going back and forth
I definitely agree that’s a great masks as well, I just got a big head LOL I love the Proto that he does as well but unfortunately I have to have a mass that’s 25.5 in because I got a huge head LOL
Sorry I’m replying a bit late here. I don’t know my exact head size but this mask is 24 inches. The mask is actually quite tight on me and I have to manipulate my mouth and stuff to get the mask to look right worn. If I could I would’ve gone back and got a 25.
Honestly, why not both? haha! I might actually get a 75k as a Closet scene mask as I wanted to get a mask that represents how it looks worn by TLW in the later scenes of H1.
It all depends on personal preference. I see the 78 shape when I look at the Kirk stretch. Keep in mind you don’t really see the mask in an unworn state in the movie which is what the 75k goes for. I go for what I see in the movie, which is a stretched-out distorted mask.
Honestly I wouldn’t be too upset about it. It looks really great on you in terms of the size. Sure, you have to manipulate the mask to look the way it does, but not all of us have the same head shape unfortunately. Honestly the worst thing I always notice with peoples mask is when it looks too big. Considering the hero mask was a child’s mask, that’s one of the reasons I always notice when a mask looks too big for someone’s body, it loses any accuracy. The size of the mask looks perfect on you, exactly like in the film! Which also makes sense why it’s tight. But honestly, your mask will probably sit on a display way more than you’ll ever wear it so it’s good the size can also be accurate as well.
