Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers didn't have Jamie Lee Curtis, but it did have a horrible mask.
Many major holidays have a face. For Christmas, it's Santa Claus, for Thanksgiving, it's a turkey, for Easter, a bunny. Halloween has many faces, from a jack-o-lantern, to skeletons, and witches, but over the last almost half century, Halloween's most frightening face is the emotionless white mask of Michael Myers. That mask was born in 1978 for John Carpenter's genre changing classic, Halloween.
The choice for a mask came down to two: one was a clown mask, the other was a mask of William Shatner. Wallace messed around with the Shatner mask, widening the eyes, ripping off the sideburns, rearranging the hair, and, of course, painting it white. It was the immediate choice. As he told Sean Clark in 2020, "None of us were prepared for the effect when this innocuous mask, innocent looking mask, got just those few touches done to it...
At the end of Halloween II, Michael Myers was supposed to have died alongside his doctor, Samuel Loomis , the two having been killed in an explosion. After the failure of Wallace's Michael Myers free Halloween III in 1982, Michael was eventually brought back, and Loomis as well, in 1988 for Halloween 4. The poster for Halloween 4 is one of the best, as it shows that famous creepy mask in the forefront, but it's not the mask that was used in the movie.
