Why does Michael Myers wear a mask?

[MichaelMyers]

Just curious.

I could understand if you're a mongoloid like Jason.

But he looks like an ex-Menudo member.

He looks like he's taking a dump on both pictures.

[The STE]

because it looks better

[Steve_Hutchison]

I bet Michael Myers shits in his pants on a regular basis.

[Nemesis412]

ya know michael its just one of those things.....cuz it just looks cool maybe?

speaking of shitting his pants, he looks clean shaven so does he take showers and brush his teeth?? i mean heas really psychotic but he looks fine

thats why michael is my favorite he keeps himself clean.....look at jason how much he went to hell

all dirty and messed up lookin and theres clean ole mike
now theres a killer with class

OR pinhead i mean the guy must wake up early in the morning to put all those pins so neatly back into his head now THAT takes some time and skill

...because the mask makes him feel like he's got a "big dick!":p

Micheal wearing a mask probably stems from his wearing a mask when he killed his sister. He now has a sick obsession with halloween masks.

Speaking of micheal's mask, which one do you guys think was the absolute worst? I'd go with Halloween 5 first, and a close second with Halloween 4.

He wears a mask because he nicked it from the fancy dress shop in order to strengthen the link to the films title in the first movie.

Also the idea of a "faceless killer" in the movies could be said to be scarier but personally I don't buy that, although you can create a scarier experience with a far less talented actor if you put him in a mask.

Speaking of his mask...why the HELL is it based on William Shatner's head? lol.

Just weird to me.

[urgeok]

maybe it was a joke on shatners lack of emotional range ...
its not like michael myers showed any either ...

[Nemesis412]

Heh yeah right, I don't even like Emo but I am guessing from your name you like Hatebreed.......You can't like a no talent band like that and say anything about someone elses music

And as for them basing it off of shatner lol yeah it is weird but it still looks cool

Oh yeah! I totally dig his mask! So eerie because it is so expressionless.

And without question -- every single chick I've ever been with at a halloween party or haunted house that has seen someone dressed up in that mask states that they will have nightmares for like a week! LOL!

That shit just haunts them something fierce! lol.

[Nemesis412]

lol i agree haphazard that mask is kickass i still think the original one was the coolest tho

if you want to keep theme scared shitless for an extra month or 2 - get them to listen to a couple of Shatners songs !
(I recommend his stirring rendition of Mr Tamberine Man to start)

My nips are getting hard just thinking of it. Does that happen to everyone when they pass a doosey?

[Kemal]

I thought the William Shatner face was very effective - blank and empty. When he removes the mask he's not a deformed monster or something, just the opposite in fact. And that's one of the themes of the movie, I think, that evil hides behind a non-threatening exterior.

You are a fucktard and I'm glad you no longer post here. I fart in your general direction.

[TheGhostface]

you heard him in halloween ( 2007 ) he thinks that he's ugly and doesent want anybody seing him possibly? but then again Rob Zombie messed up the Halloween series by making the second film which was so bad and dumb its unbelievable.

I'm pretty sure it's down to the Ugly thing in the remake. The original? I have no idea.

The obvious outside reason, is it to show a lack of remorse from the character, Carpenter wanted a normal face, nothing OTT like other masks of horror characters, just a blank expression that separates him from the audience but also at the same time makes him seem somewhat life like! It's the whole 'shape' thing as he was written before filming.

[morantis]

Michael Myers has a splintered personality resulting from the tragedies he suffered at a young age. Therefore he wears the mask to represent his dark personality on the surface.

that sounds more like the rob zombie version...which i hated.

oh well, different strokes for different folks

[morantis]

I think it was true in the first set of movies also, however the inner turmoil was more likely created by the Thorn curse in the originals.

Why wouldnt you kill with a mask on??

No doubt. That would take the mystery out of a lot of horror flicks.

[iSeymore]

Michael Myers wore a mask because he was ugly as hell. Well classic child Michael Myers looked normal, I guess he was just infatuated with hiding his own identity from the age of 6? Who knows?

John Carpenter's "Halloween" (1978); Michael Myers as a Child.

What a freak. Nuff said. >_>;;

[BookZombie]

A bigger question is why can he survive being shot, several times, suffering all kinds of abuse and then falling out the window but still getting up and walking away? And that is just in the first movie!

My guess is that Michael knows he would not be half as scary without the mask. As for why the filmmakers did it, this about it this way. A movie with a killer running around is a thriller, put a creepy mask on him and it is a horror movie, end of story, masks are scary.

[iSeymore]

Well, without watching Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007), my guess is that he wears that old mask because he is very self concience about his physical appearence. Also, hiding his identity.
