As some of you know, I am writing a book about the Halloween series. I am about 75% done with the book and I need you guy’s help to finish it So in the book there is a page that has info on the screen used masks. Since I know little info on the whereabouts of the screen used masks for Halloween 1-8 I would like to finish the list and get moving on the book. All people that contribute will be credited in the book. So far here’s what I have :
Halloween 1 stunt masks- (supposedly) In Debra Hill’s estate/Burnt at the end of Halloween 2.
Halloween 1-2 Screen used mask- Tiffin, OH
Halloween 3 Screen used masks- Columbus, OH
Halloween 4 screen used mask- Owned by Crofader
Halloween 5 Screen used mask-Don Shanks
Hallloween 6 Screen used mask- Darren Hughes ,Nikos Dresios, Brad Hardin
Halloween H20 Screen Used mask- Darren Hughes (again )
Halloween Resurrection Screen used mask- NEED TO KNOW
Nik from NAG has a screen used 6 and I think Brad Hardin still has one as well. There’s a handful of them due to the reshoots.
The Resurrection hero was restored by Brad Hardin a few year ago and sold on a “charity buzz” auction site last year. I forgot who the winning bidder was, it wasn’t an active member of the community or anybody I recognized. But the mask looked great!
A screen worn Resurrection mask was auctioned for $23,000 yesterday. Per an email I have from charitybuzz, they were unable to collect from last year’s auction from the buyer so they reauctioned it.
3: As you well know, there has been much debate about the mask(s) used in the original Halloween and Halloween II. Many fans have got it into their heads that it is a completely different mask in Halloween II from the mask in the original movie. Could you set the record straight once and for all? You, afterall, wore the mask, hence having the most insight on this matter. Also where is the original mask now?
This question I really, really hate. No matter what I say about the mask there are those who set themselves up as experts on it even though some of them weren’t even born when we made the film. They argue with everyone about what I say concerning it. They, for some reason, think there are two distinct masks worn for these two movies. # 1 and # 2. Here is the story as I know it. During the filming of Halloween II I asked in conversation about the mask I was using. I was told by several different people including Debra Hill that it was the one used in the making of Halloween. It had been stored under her bed until she dug it out and brought it to the office where I picked it up and put it on before going in to meet the director for the job as stunt coordinator. As for why it looks like two different masks, I think the lighting has a lot to do with the way the mask looks from film to film. The shape of my face is also totally different than Castle’s, Wallace’s or probably any of the other people who wore it in Halloween. (See Below. My son Lance “Boom Box Boy” and I on the set. I was about 20 lbs thinner then. Lance was 12. He is now 34.) As for the original mask. I sold it to a man in Ohio. He has two haunted houses. One in Toledo and one in Tiffin. He had the mask and coveralls on display there this past October. I’m supposing he’ll display them every year in one place or the other. www.terrortown.net. Up and running closer to Halloween.
I have one of them. I’m not sure how many in total were actually used during filming. However there were supposedly 15 made for the film. I also used to own 2 of the unused masks out of the original 15 that were made for the film. (Sold to current members)
So in the book there is a page that has info on the screen used masks. Since I know little info on the whereabouts of the screen used masks for Halloween 1-8 I would like to finish the list and get moving on the book.
