What’s amazing is when the original mask was made, they just threw it together from the Kirk mask at breakneck speed. Now it takes more effort to replicate the original look
That's what happens when you're working off intuition vs actually trying. It's always best to go with the flow if you can. That's why most sequels suck because you're trying to capture the same feeling of something that at that time had no predecessor
@@Zockledoof the original mask was just plain appliance white but the lighting is what made it so scary, then in part 2 the mask was stored under a bed with heavy smoking going on and it yellowed it some. Also Dick Warlocks head stretched it more. I’m sure you all know this already tho lol
Nah if you get a 75 kirk pull with good quality hair and do a conversion it's pretty quick work. Paint 2 colors. Maybe some matte clear coat. Some glue remover and removing the eyebrows and side burns. The eye cuts aren't hard either. People trying to hard is why the masks usually don't look as good.
@@stinkywhizzleteats3673 not entirely. You can't get 75 done post studios Kirk's anymore. You can get recast versions but not all are accurate as the recasting process. Also not all don post Kirk's come from the correct mould. You also have to deal with alot of masks being stretched before recasting. Tots masks are sculpted with castle stretch taken into account. It's not as easy as you think to get screen accurate replicas. It also requires some specific shit to get the eye holes cut perfectly shaped if you care to go that far.
When removing the hairline if the factory paint does come off u can use naphtha to thin the paint down like flush with the latex & just paint over it. Or if your skilled enuff with the dremel u can sand the paint down flush as well. Saves loads of time. Great video. Best eye cut tutorial I’ve seen!
Currently in that same situation with my 78 myers mask and have the whole forehead peeled off. First time rehauler question; When using naphtha, is there any concern with over applicating and affecting the mask?
@@alpass72886 no. You can use as much as needed. Although it will distort or swell the mask temporarily, it will go back to normal after about an hour or so. Just be sure to clean all the naphtha after you finish with water.
@@alpass72886 forgot to mention but you do wanna be careful around fragile areas like the mouth slit, eyes, etc. I have ripped a mask or 2 in the past when things don’t go as planned. Just use care around the areas where it may rip.
Subscribed! I have always had a fascination with horror movie masks and characters. When I was in 7th grade I checked out a book from the school library titled "Movie Monsters" with mostly Bela Legosi and Lon Cheney characters. The book discusses how to make corn starch based skin and so forth. I spent hours in the mirror creating faces and shaving my sisters Barbie dolls to make Wolfman makeup. I still have the book 30 years later....wonder how much my overdue fines are? I still make masks and create my own monsters for Halloween and some take 5-6 months to build a complete latex and or silicone costume. The kid in me has never left. Awesome job on redoing Michael. By far my favorite horror movie mask and its simplicity i think adds to his scare factor. Look forward to seeing more of your videos
If you want to make a perfect Michael Myers mask you need to paint the face without covering up the hair and then paint the hair without covering up the face. That’s the way Tommy Lee Wallace did it on the original mask and that’s where the dark shades came from uncertain spots because he did not shield the mask when he painted it.
this video was extremely helpful in converting my Captain Kirk mask. I love how you described his left eye as “lemon shaped” also, perfectly description in my opinion. keep up the good work brother
Cool shelly you said this would come out..Appreciate it man. I came about 3 weeks ago purchased 3 myers masks with my brother. I think you stripping the paint off was a good idea..Im going to do the same..Because the layer they put on isnt workable..The hair ill just use goo gone so i dont go through the pain like you did lol..
Its funny how all this work is done by artist with painting etc.. when the original mask was just made in like 5 minutes lol, they just cut out the eyes a bit, ripped some hair off, spray painted some black on the hair and spray painted white on the mask and done. Its all about the lighting that gives it that presence like in the film.
One thing I notice with all the new Myers masks’ is they never get the hair right. In the film, his hair seemed a lot thicker in the back and had little curls on the ends. Just my opinion.
Sorry if already asked.....If I didnt want to go through the whole process of stripping off the factory paint, can I just clean the mask really good with alcohol or thinner and go straight into painting it with a flesh tone color Night Shades paint?
Yeah totally this is literally the only time I’ve ever done that cuz there was an issue with paint peeling. Just use water to clean and start painting p
My mask paint messed up to and it sucked I had no idea how to get it off until I started sanding it myself it sucked even after I could not get it back clean so there is small bumps on the mask I almost threw it away
Yes but spray paint will crack and fall off over time as well as eat into the latex. The current state of the hero mask is a good example of why not to use it. It worked great for the film but it was not made to last. Also, in my experience, the shade of white is less important than the skin tone that sits under it.
@@NightmareToys you will hit it for sure! And also, do you plan to do a giveaway? I’ve been trying to pick up a mask since September but I can’t afford the nice ones lol
Where can I find hair replacement? I don't care for the hair that came with it and been kind of skeptical about fixing it but I believe I'm ready now I just need new hair lol
Yeah in that mask video he was saying a mostly white mask w black eyes that was slightly lumpy and minor dirt wear and tear the original and 2... Maybe the new movie...
Do you sell these ? I really like your work and don’t really want to waste money on a trick or treat studio mask when yours are so amazing, if you don’t I completely understand. But still want to say your work is amazing.
On my 78 mask, do you recommend to repaint it all from flesh skin to the fright white?? and does the white paint (stock) thats on it affect it in any way??
Man, I hate when the hair is glued on there too well! I've had a couple peel off easily, and a couple rip the paint with it... and then you have to take the rest of the paint off by hand and with a dremel which takes forever as you know.
1978:just paint the face white,remove the sideburns,and make the eyeholes bigger were trying to freak people out.... 1995 and up:Do your absolute best to replicate the 1978 mask were trying to capture past glory
The paint is latex based. So It is mixed with mask making latex. You don't want to use liquid latex in your paints. Yes mask making latex is a liquid too but it doesn't have a lot of additives and water like "liquid latex" from Spirit halloween or something has.
I’m not even joking, how much would I have to pay to have you rehaul mine. I’m being serious dude. My mask is crappy and it needs a major rehaul. If you are able to do that, let me know because that would be awesome and I will be eternally grateful.
I'm still rehauling my 78 mask and the hair glue is a real bitch. I don't want to rip off the paint so I'm gonna try goo-gone to get off the glue and little bits of hair tomorrow. The first 2 inches pulled off clean but the rest was really on there. I'm not doing a crazy rehaul, just a lazy quick rehaul. Dull the shine, dirty it up, fix the eyes, and glue back the hair...let it dry over night and give him his do. But damn this glue is a bitch.

Appliance white is what was used on the original its still made also sold under that ACE brand as Appliance white same manufacturer

The base color of the mask should be burned sienna. Washing the white off gives the flesh tone.

Hey amigo, so jealous of your skill, its amazing!! Your very dedicated. Subbed pal 😎👍
Hi. This was great. I have a Halloween Hospital Michael Myers Mask from a German recast (i was told). Can u rehaul it for me?? Thanks.
This guy looks like he would be the chill funny ass dude that dies brutally in a horror movie. Awesome vid by the way
Wow! This looks amazing! Do you do commissions?
You can contact Shelley on IG @moths_masks
Can you kind of say where you got the close up reference photos? I can't find any close up like this.
Honestly I just googled 1978 Michael Myers mask and did a deep dive and saved all my favorites.

On my 78 mask, do you recommend to repaint it all from flesh skin to the fright white?? and does the white paint (stock) thats on it affect it in any way??
I would suggest doing it how I did it but that's just me.
You should've sprayed the hair black or white like Ben Tramer.
Man, I hate when the hair is glued on there too well! I've had a couple peel off easily, and a couple rip the paint with it... and then you have to take the rest of the paint off by hand and with a dremel which takes forever as you know.
Is that Doug Henning?
How much do you charge to regulate a mask?
Does it have to be distilled water or could it be any kind of water 🤷🏽♂️
Distilled water is better. Any water will work but it has a lot of impurities that can corrode away at your airbrush and stuff.
💓
Is the 78 mask you sell on your website redone by you? Or just stock TOTS mask
Stock. You can contact Shelley on IG @moths_masks for rehauls or keep your eyes peeled for when we put rehauled versions on the Nightmare Toys site.
Would I be able to apply the night shades by brush or sponge if I don’t have an air brush
Yeah but you’ll want to soak the brush in soapy water before use and between coats or the latex will stick to the brush and clump up.
@@NightmareToys thanks!
Never reference a replica mask for eyecuts, only reference the hero mask when it's unworn
Never pretend like there is only one way to do anything.
Im rehauling my own but the paint is coming off?? How do i stop that?
Are you using latex based paints? Regular acrylic paint will not stick well to the mask.
It would be so cool if someone bought the original mask and applied all the realistic damage from real bullets and weapons and then re-haul
1978:just paint the face white,remove the sideburns,and make the eyeholes bigger were trying to freak people out....
1995 and up:Do your absolute best to replicate the 1978 mask were trying to capture past glory
Unless you're me then just do whatever you want.
Spray the hairline with water several times and hair comes off much easier.
Great tip!
I want a got damn Lord Humungus mask!!

About 50 when spraying latex, 20 with ink

That’s good
I bought two kirks and the hair didn’t want to come off.
How should I seal the mask to make it preserved?
There are a lot of different ways to seal a mask. For this mask I used a 50/50 mixture of mask latex and water-based polyurethane.

Not only did I enjoy the video but you also reminded me of how much I need a Misfits coffee cup.
Wish they made a mask for adult male . Not a peanut head sized mask. Last 2 were so small
The original michael myers mask was tiny because it was made for children. That's what gives it the iconic castle/warlock stretches
so anyway, captain kirk inside out.
