I’ve heard stories of the original Michael Myers mask being sold to a private collector in Ohio who displays it at one of his haunted houses around Halloween every year. I checked the website but there is nothing mentioned about the mask, I emailed them about a two weeks ago but never got a response. Has anyone ever been to this haunted house? Is the mask on display? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
all i know is that he used to display it but since people were trying to take it he no longer displays it
also he got it totally rehauled but having it repainted, foam filled and had the hair styled back to what
it looked like back in 1978
Id give my left nut to see what it looks like now. :butthead:

Hummm, why get it re-haired or re-painted? (They don’t make that hair any more and it’s the original paint job of 30 plus years, let it be!) It just needs a foam job and latex restoration inside the mask to help stop the rot from happening. But once latex start to sag, you really can’t stretch it back to it shape, it’s just too late because gravity took over; it’s deformed. If the mask would have been taken care of in the first place instead of being shoved in a closet in a cigar box tin for years by Dick, this really wouldn’t be an issue.

This is probably what it looks like now if he had it fully restored. This would be an insult to the mask.
Beens they used white appliance spray paint, how did the mask go as long as it did without MAJOR paint flaking and chipping after all these years, beens that type paint isn’t what they usually use on regular mask when painting them in the first place?
From my understanding when they painted latex back in the day they used oil paint,thinner, and rubber cement to make it adhere. Just what I read. That would make sense why its not flaking, and why the side burns are dirty, the thinner reactivated the glue and made it sticky again, so dirt collected on it.
Just my theory.
I’m not a violent person but if this guy really did have the mask repainted/rehaired I would invest in a plane ticket to personally bitch slap him. I can’t fathom that knowing the mask’s history he would have done such a thing. To quote my favorite red neck in H4 “No way, no how!”
i usually use krylon latex base spraypaint and in a thin coat over time it fades instead of chipping
Makes since on the painting technique. I know the original mask had blond hair that was sprayed black with the temp black halloween type hair color and that’s why the hair has a subtle different lighter color towards the back of the head and darker hair in the front. I know that exact type of hair is next to impossible to find, and most people use the camel hair or the mohair. Usually the camel has a reddish brown tint and the mohair is lighter but harder to dye. But my question is which one is closer in type to the original Mohair or camel? Also wouldn’t a black sprayed blonde hair be closer to the H1 original hair color than the usually used dark brown or the standard color see in my camel hair? I’m not trying to be rude sounding in that question…just curious if one lok is movie accurate or closer why does the majority look end up different? I think the mask makers and conversion people on this site are both amazing, I just don’t know why the masks doesn’t come already looking the way you want instead of having to get it converted? Like have 3 or 4 different type of looks and when your order just say I want a H1 or whatever version 1, 2, 3 etc. It just seems it makes an expensive hobby even more expensive. Like I said I’m not trying to be a smartbutt…I just truly don’t understand.
