The Nick Castle stretch or actually...pull

This has been debunked as NOT being Debra Hill

Basically the reason why it’s so hard to duplicate the Michael Myers look as opposed to just a 75 Kirk look…

Also you can try it out by wearing a Nick castle like wig. When you put on a mask the majority of the hair seems to go towards the back of the Mask, there by, pressing the face of the Mask tighter on your own face. Form-fitted so to speak

Having met Nick Castle in person and studying his facial features like a crazed lunatic fan would do,… he definitely has a significantly longer than average nose. There’s only one place that nose can really fit in the mask, which is the nose cavity itself. I have to assume that that portion of the Mask was also stretched a bit longer than a normal Kirk mask would do to his length…

( This is probably the strangest paragraph I’ve ever written)

News to me. But cool to have new info

It’s definitely NOT Nick, he himself said Debra put on the suit for that scene.

Do you have a clip of Nick saying that? Debra in this states “Well I needed to go pick up some trick or treat shots, second unit, and so I wanted them where trick or treaters went by and suddenly there stands the shape. So not only was I going to direct the second unit but I brought the costume and I was gonna be the shape. I put the shape costume on and of course I’m so much tinier than Nick and in daily’s it was so hilarious because the shape had shrunk”.
This seems to indicate that she was simply just supposed to be him in the scene but once she put the costume on they realized it wouldn’t work and not that she ended up doing, which backs up Tommy’s story pretty well.

This is scene #92 in the script. I have 11 different spools/different takes, of footage to go through. We are looking for the Debra Hill footage, which is in there, and will post an image of her as The Shape.

Thank you very much👍🏻

This would be incredible to see. Hope to see this! Thank you for your input Billy.

Oh! so can you confirm that it is Nick in this scene?? Some people say it is Debra in this scene

Some people are wrong. I believe Sean as some VERY cool behind the scene images from this specific take. That is Nick.

Cool thanks!

No clip. This was at a convention.

He was asked to sign the shape falling from the balcony and said that was Jim and not him. He was also asked to sign the shape breaking the kitchen door and said that it was TLW and not him. And also the same with the shape across the street. He said that was Debra and not him.

TBH, after 40 + years who knows. We hearing different stories and accounts on this and that :joy:

Can you confirm what scenes Debra did? If any that made the final cut!

Ahhh gotcha! And I totally agree there. You have to take everything these guys say with a grain of salt, they don’t remember it all and over time they can hear stories and begin to recall them as fact.

One more question for you. Is this TLW or Nick??

Wallace, here he is behind the scenes, how many times do we have to do this? cause the stretch is what gives each actors head shape away

Alright, alright. Just wondering if Billy knew for sure because he has behind the scenes material. I know it is wallaces arm for sure doing the stab just wondered if he wore the mask too. It is hard for me tell bevause the mask looks like it could be Nick but not at the same time so🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t believe this is correct. That is Nick walking up and approaching her. Tommy is just playing Michael out of frame for that stab. The mask doesn’t stretch at all when really when Tommy wears it, not like it does with castle.
