Bald Michael Myers was a strange sight.

In 1978, during the making of the original Halloween, the prop department was faced with the daunting task of finding a frightening mask that the villain could wear. Tommy Lee Wallace chose FOUR masks to complete Michael Myers. The first option was a Don Post Emmett Kelly clown mask to which they added frizzy red hair. This would be a callback to how Michael killed his sister, Judith, in a clown costume. They tested it out and it appeared featureless and creepy. The other mask was a 1975 William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk mask that was purchased for around two dollars, a 1975 Mr. Spock mask and a former U.S. president Richard Nixon mask. The Capt. Kirk mask was chosen due to its appearance of having no real facial features that could be easily made out. The production crew removed the eyebrows and sideburns, the face was painted flat white, the hair was teased out, and the eyes were opened up and reshaped with scissors. This info can be found in the Halloween: The Inside Story. They tested out the Capt. Kirk mask and the crew decided that it was much more creepy because it was emotionless, much like Michael himself. This became the Michael Myers mask. Since then, every mask used in the films have been modeled after this design. William Shatner admitted that for years he had no idea his likeness was used for this film. It was only during an interview that someone mentioned his mask was being used. He has since stated that he is honored by this gesture.

This is amazing. Makes me wanna pick up a tramer and try it myself. You turned a $60 mask into a true work of art. Very well done

Watching him spray it with the tag still on was driving me crazy, am I alone?

Amazing! Impressed with your dedication! If only I looked this good in all the movies!

I never noticed the flesh color on the front neck till I got a part 2 mask. Just a cheap (relatively. $60), store bought one but it also has the flesh tone on the front neck like this one. Clearly this mask is highly superior but just interesting

Wow. That is practically dead on to how the original looked in the first film. Excellent work there.

is it or does Micheals hair look better frizz up

How can anyone not like this video? It's so informative! Great job man!!!

Holy shit!!! That’s the best looking replica I’ve ever seen!!!

An amazing conversion! Incredibly impressive!

Great video, Nick! Good tip there, makeup brushes are awesome in sculpting, too!

You did a great job Michael Myers is and always be one of my favorite horror movies of all time and is a legend with Freddy and Jason and hell raiser

People moaning about paying $200 for the conversion... Just sit back and take a look at how much work has gone into making it look like that... Its an absolute steal $260 all in for a movie quality professional mask... If i had $260 to spare i would order one straight away... Awesome job Nick 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Your work is always flawless Nick. Great stuff!

Poopsie Poo's hair gives it a very natural realistic touch :)

I'm still impressed. I've been watching for a few years and you get better all the time. I'm a huge fan of Halloween. the videos are awesome!

I have never seen a bald Michael Myers mask 😂

That’s pretty damn close to the original good job dude

It looks really nice nick you did a good job love the details

Great job converting Tots Tramer. I want one.

I wanna do it but I would fail 😂

This is amazing! I'd sure hope they use this exact mask for the new Halloween film coming out in 2018!

Amazing, I've been looking for this exact tutorial for ages! thanks for this nick! :)

It's a collectors world out there. Clever, I would not assume they would sell a Halloween 2 Tramer edition mask.

7:15 ... not YET 😂

the king of myers mask nick is unbelievable amazing nick !!!!!

GREAT WORK!!!! Thanks for posting.

Dude, this is amazing and better than all the masks used in the films bar the first two. They should have employed you to make the masks for the films

That looks insanely good

that was top notch work. outstanding!!

I'm about to head to your site right now. Excellent video.

Wave check 🌊

This looks better than the Halloween 4 mask.... and you did this in 15 Minutes

You're like the Bob Ross of mask painting :p Great job!

Isn’t the Elrod and Tramer mask the same mask? Just different hair and color?

Super nice 👍 mask Love to buy one of your work and always wanted one of those

Differences between the original and Halloween 4 mask please.

nice mask Nick!! Thumbs up!!

This is better than any mask after part 2

This is mask that I want instead of the one that I got from Halloween store that was 5 years ago.

Now make a captain kirk mask

Nice Shat replica build Brutha! Ur talented! 🤙

Man that is incredible, well done!

This is my new favorite video

Looks perfect with the Lionel Ritchie hair at 10:25

Is there a video on a Captain Kirk mask conversion?

2:00 that would be Michael Myers _before_ the toupee.

Man it's been a long time, I remember talking with you back on the Myers forums, at least I do believe it was you. Looks like you're still turning out some of the best mask and conversations out there! Hope all is well! -jackrippzz

I just bought the 60 dollar halloween 2 mask. it looks so authentic.

Beautiful work!

I'd like to buy one just as this is, hopefully a little less expensive than the Night owl Creep mask, but I'd love to buy one!

Looks pretty damn good.

Fantastic work and I highly enjoyed it 👍

Absolutely Amazing! Well Done!

Fantastic job, very impressed

That's excellent work!

I NEED ONE! I have to look for it now.

that turned out awesome!

Awesome!! My favorite part was the hair. I want to find more details on getting the hair just right. Which you did!

Very cool , Thanks for sharing Nick.

WOW that's amazing! You're very talented! :)

Very nice Nick! Your channel would blow up if you posted more videos like this!

Fantastic work.

Hey, great video and mask!! I was wondering if you would make a mask like that for me, I would pay

This was amazing work !! I loved it 💕💕

Very cool Nick!

Cool, looks exactly like the movie 👌

I freaking love it man great job!!

Amazing video Nick. I just got a HalloweeNMan off of you, maybe I'll inquire about one of these as well. Your work is amazing.

tots have nice sculpted masks im pre order the halloween 2018 mask the sculpting looks almost the same of the movie looking forward to receive it from them ^^

You're the man Nick , amazing work as always.

Looks bad ass Nick!!

lets get this guy for Halloween 2018

So I am thinking of getting into rehauling masks- where is the best place online to aquire mask hair like seen here?

Wonderful job!!!!!

Wow! Amazing job! I'm gonna give this a shot :)

Good job

Not trying to be a debby downer but wasn't it a micheal Meyers mask to start with? Can you explain tots and Ben tramer? Who is he?

damn Nick that's nice.. how much to convert?

I don't know if you're aware, but you could ask Sean Clark from Horror's Hallowed Ground (find his facebook pafe) and I'm almost sure he'd feature you and your talents on his show.

Nice work 👍

All the tools and supplies needed to do this conversion might be as much as just buying an independently created Myers H1 mask.

Amazing! 15 minutes? That did not look easy to recreate at all but cool seeing how this can be done.

Great tips and mask

Bald Michael Myers reminds me of Bruce Willis, lmao.

Where do you get the hair for the mask

6:12 don't forget the cheeks and lip definition alot of people forget that

Beau travail. Bonjour du Pays Basque !

Man this is awesome

looks great

Amazing conversion, I just think you got a little too carried away with the side burn glue marks area. Hehe

Hi Nick, I know this is an older video but I have a question if you see this. Do you make the bands of hair you use from just regular mohair lengths or is that how you buy it? I've been searching and can't find anyhting but straight lengths of hair or braided stuff. Thanks!

You are a good at colors

Awesome job !!!

Where can I buy one of your custom masks?

This is amazing

WoW you are awesome great work man so this year my daughter yes daughter wants to be good old Michael Myers for Halloween I can't seem to find a mask as good as yours let me know if I can buy one from you thanks and stay blessed you rock!

Not bad at all man great mask 🔥🔥
