For those who dont do facebook, thought i’d post the videos i just did of the thinnest Michael Myers mask ever - the THIN RINGER (from the DEAD RINGER mold)
A typical mask from the plastic mold is built up of 3-4 layers of latex…this is one layer…pretty much like a balloon…maybe even thinner-lol! I was surprised how sturdy and resilient the mask is at returning to its original ‘‘shape’’ after being stretched and contorted.
1st video is testing the mask to see its capabilities of expression…
2nd video is inserting Thin Ringer footage into the actual original movie unmasking scene. I do not believe the stunt mask was this thin…i’m sure it wasnt. But seeing the video of this mask being worn, really gives a ‘‘rubber mask’’ look, i think would have been great for the movie.
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but does it urk anyone that Tony Moran bills himself at H1 Myers at conventions? To me IMO its kind of BS. I know he played him in one scene but c’mon…
The hero mask looks so thin in that scene, but how can this be when the current owner described it as pretty tick ? I mean there is no way i could put on any of my mask like that.
The hero actually wasn’t used for that scene, it was one of the stunt masks . Also I read that latex tends to thicken over time so that cold exlain the hero’s thickness.
Sounds to me like he’s one of those people that would be an extra in the background of a movie, and would consider themselves a star and rub it in everyone’s face to boot. What a shame.
Glad its not just me. I get a bad vibe from him. I always see people post on Instagram “met the original Michael Myers!” and its them with Tony Moran. I just shake my head…
Sorry to derail the thread. The thin pull of the mask is awesome! Great work!
UPDATE - MARCH 22…shot some cool footage …if your on my facebook page , youve already seen it-lol I will upload to youtube soon so non-fb people can see.
Also shot some unmasking scene footage and have just edited it with the actual movie footage…came out pretty cool! will upload that to youtube also
ALSO edited the ‘‘MAKING OF THE THIN RINGER’’ DVD…This will go to the winning bidder of the mask…fb auction ends sunday 11pm est …bid is at 130.00 right now…thats all the updates -lol
