I was skeptical about this mask. I searched several websites to try and find a high quality Michael Myers mask, and I kept stumbling over this one. In my search, I kept seeing the same mask, but under the production of different companies. I don't know the difference between this one (Don Post Studios), and Paper Magic. Anyway, what I like about the Don Post Michael Myers mask has to be the crevices that form the cheek bones, eye brows, chin, and other parts of the face. The crevices of the face under a spot light gives it that Michael Myers psychopath look. This mask still has some draw backs. One draw back is that the mask is white clean. To give it more of a realistic look, I purposely dirtied the mask slightly all around the face (dust probably isn't dirty enough, I'm a mechanic, so I rubbed my hand on my jumpsuit and then rubbed it on the mask). I rubbed specific parts of the mask, trying to form shadows to make the crevices stick out even more. I also used a dirty eraser from a pencil to form lines to the face of the mask. I tried to form the wrinkles in the middle of the eye brows to make it look like Michael Myers is angry. So you need to add detail to the mask's face to make it look better. Another draw back is that the hair is combed and gelled back. The hair doesn't look's that bad but you can improve on this by grabbing a clump of the hair and separating it into two clumps (separating it, not pulling the hair off from the mask). When you separate the hair clumps, you'll notice that the gel will break off, thus making the hair fluffy. Making the hair fluffy makes it look more like the Michael Myers mask from the movies. Another thing I did to improve on the mask, was to glue semi transparent black cloths on the eyes. This effect makes the mask look creepier, because I had seen people wearing Michael Myers mask's in which you could see their eyes, and it just killed the effect. One last thing I did to the mask was that I taped the back of the neck together (taped the opening together) to pull in the sides of the mask, thus preventing the face from looking fat. I hope this helps you in creating a really nice mask. Even though you still have to modify a couple of things on the mask, I still gave the mask five stars because it's cheaper than other mask's, because it has crevices and because in general, it's molded nicely. Don Post Studios, Halloween Movie Michael Myers Deluxe Mask
I'm a big guy... 6' 6", so when I want to dress up for Halloween, I want to use my height to my advantage and be terrifying. Michael Myers is a natural character for me, as he's notoriously tall. I bought this mask, along with a set of high-quality navy blue cover-alls (which will be put to good use in my garage as well!) and I've got the most frightening costume you could imagine.Now, there are some people here complaining about the actual look & fit of the mask, as well as little things like the hair, etc. I'm going to address all of those issues right now...- Looks: Yes, the mask is stark white. This can be a good thing or bad thing, depending on what you're going for. A little bit of make up or paint on the mask (airbrush if you've got it) and this goes away. Some VERY LIGHT shading with dark blues, dark greens, and grays, just to accent the mouth, nose, chin, neck, and cheekbones (and perhaps the eye area) and maybe a little extra to make it look like it's been through the mill, and you've got a solid gold mask here.- Fit: When you get the mask and put it on, it's going to make your head look twice as wide as it should. Here's what you do: Go to your local pharmacy or hardware store and get white sticky-back Velcro brand strips. The adhesive is MORE than strong enough to do what you want it to do. Put a couple of "Hook" side strips on one side of the back of the mask (right near the slit) and the "Loop" (softer) side on the inside of the other flap. Problem solved. Put the mask on and pull the back flaps "in" until it's tight enough to look better (but not so tight that it's uncomfortable) and let the velcro do the work. - Hair: The hair is completely flat when you get it. Just ruffle it up style it as you want. It feels like there's some kind of "gel" or something in there, so it's easy enough to get the look you really want.- Quality: I don't think anyone here is disputing the quality of this mask... It's nice, thick latex with great hair and no slit in the mouth (which, IMHO, cheapens the mask... but you can always cut your own slit if you want one).Bottom line: The detail is AMAZING on this mask, and although it's perfectly fine the way it is, you can make it as authentic looking as you want with just a little time, effort, and a couple of bucks. But for the price, you're not going to find a better mask (but you can certainly find a lot worse! Whether you're a collector, or someone just looking to do Halloween right this year, if you've found yourself on this page, considering this mask, don't second guess it. Just buy it. One last thing about this company: It was probably the fastest standard shipping I've ever seen in my entire life. I don't know if it was a clerical error or something, and I'm not saying this will happen to everyone, but I got my mask the NEXT DAY from these guys. LIGHTNING fast service.
This product does not look like the picture, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality Michael Myers mask. If you are looking for a high quality MM mask, then try researching Don Post's older version of the Michael Myers mask, but ive had difficulty finding another one, good luck.
