Old skool conversion ?

We all know how the Halloween 1 myers
mask was converted! I don’t think they
spent alot of time or were real careful
with the convert. I was wondering wat
would happen if u got your hands on a
nag 75 or 99 shat and just kind of
cut the eyes quick like, and cut the hair
then just spray painted the hair black.
Then used white spray paint on the face!
Wander wat the outcome would look
like? Then maybe put it in a shoebox
under the bed for 3 years- maybe you’d
have a nice h2 on your hands!
I was just seeing if anyone else ever
wandered that also

It was a cigar box actually lol it would probally end up with half the neck missing due to rotting latex…what happend on the hero was a once and done thing…i remember reading tommy said he couldnt possibly do eye cuts like that ever agian

That’s true, I wonder how
long the white spray paint would
last

well it seems to have lasted this long on the hero

ya me to wondered about some one making a mask the way it was really done the only problem i c is the spray paint it would crack and chip maybe latex spray paint would work but I hear that it doesn’t have the flexibility and will also chip and crack. along time ago I thought if I got a kirk mask from 78’ and painted it that it would be perfect but that was a long time ago before I knew that a kirk from that time is rare and a crap load if u could find one… don’t u lov day dreaming?

If I only had an xtra 75 laying
around I’d try it! Lol

It would look like crap, just like the original must have looked (not a bad thing)! If we could hold the original in our hands today just as it looked in 78 we would be amazed… in a bad way I’m sure :laughing: I will say that the hero eyes did turn out very well to give it a very emotionless character. The paint and hair must have looked VERY SIMPLE to say the least! Lighting and shadows is what put that converted 75 Kirk into overdrive! :wink:

JC

There ya have it

My thoughts exactly. :sunglasses:

Exactly. We owe as much to Dean Cundy for making that mask look the way it is as we do to TLW. Without both of them, it wouldn’t look all that “scary”.

PRECISELY!!!

Did I spell that right^^^^^??? :laughing:

LOL! Who cares, we know what you mean!!! :laughing: Cheers!

who is dean cundy? (noob)

:open_mouth: :open_mouth:
JK
He’s the Director of Photography, or Cinematographer that shot the movie. He was the one responsible for lighting it with cool lights and such. He did most of Carpenter’s early work (from Halloween onward) and did the first 3 Halloween films.

So , he was the one who made the spray painted peice of latex look amazing instead of what it really looked like (crap)

:mrgreen:

Well i will use the word “plain” as without it you would not have any white masks, i would not have any white masks & you would not be able to read this as you do now as this site would not be here if not for for it. No matter how it looks it deserves a certain level of respect as we have what we have thanks to that white mask…I guess JC & TLW have a little something to do with it too. :mrgreen: Plus they did not set out to create the most infamous/interesting looking mask of all time but only only to create a “plain” white mask with no emotion with black eyes. so when someone see’s it in person and say’s “thats it??” :confused: Its us who have built it up to be such a “infamous” thing of beauty, its us who have built this surreal image of it in our heads but the mask itself has always remained the same…But like James said, “not a bad thing”

To put it a shorter way, if i ever saw it in person it would be a thing of beauty no matter how it looks, not because of how it looks but because of how it made me feel the first time i laid eyes on it. :smiley:

Well said my friend. :rock:

I agree that lighting helped it change
expressions! But I have seen several
black n white outdoor shits with no
lights or shadows n I must say- it looked
pretty damn good!
