Where did Michael Myers get the mask from in the first movie?

Answer 1

When he kills his sister as a young boy, at the very beginning of the first Halloween, the mask he wears is part of his clown costume.

Fifteen years later, when he escapes the asylum and comes back to his home town, Haddonfield, he steals his mask (along with some rope and some knives) from the local hardware store. This is not depicted in the movie, however: it is something the sheriff tells his daughter, Annie, and the main character, Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis). Annie and Laurie are driving around, smoking a joint, when they run into Annie's father in front of the hardware store. He tells them that it was probably a bunch of kids who did it.

AnswerThe original mask is a Cpt. Kirk mask painted white. If you look closely, it does resemble him quite a bit. Moreover, watch Halloween 5, look at the profile of the mask in this film. It is very evident that it is different than the previous masks, but, does it not look like Arnold Schwarzeneggar? AnswerThe Michael Myers mask was originally based on a William Shatner mask (Captain Kirk in Star Trek TV series in the 70s) and the costume designers enlarged the eye holes and spray painted it white and defined certain features such as lines of definition on the mask to make it look more menacing.

Answer 4

In the beginning of the 1978 movie, he kills Judith with a clown mask that came with his clown costume. It is likely he got his actual mask in the 1978 movie from the hardware store where he also got the rope and knife.

In the remake movie of 2007, Judith's boyfriend, Steven Haley, brings the mask over to their house. Michael wears that mask when he kills Judith in the 2007 movie. After being locked up in the asylum, he creates his own paper mache masks until he breaks out and retrieves the mask from his old house.
