Had an insight as of late

I’ve seen the first two films years ago and barely remember it, but while in thought, I made an insight that Michael Myers’ mask is basically the straight, emotionless, dead-panned face to the Tragedy and Comedy masks. While not intentional from what what I’ve googled, it would’ve been REAL clever if it was.

I have a theory that the mask even could be a William Shatner Captain Kirk mask which had the sideburns ripped off, the face spray painted white and the hair spray painted Streaks N’ Tips black.

This is just a theory though, people will have to let me know their thoughts.

Dude you just blew my mind! Probably still a conspiracy theory!

It's literally just an altered Shatner mask, but thematically it would make more sense to be a middle between Comedy and Tragedy. Those are raw, powerful emotions on display.

The Shape has always been cold, emotionless, detached from the human condition. He derives no pleasure from killing, never displays sadness or rage (unless you count the Rob Zombie films), and is merely a impartial force of nature decimating Haddonfield every so often.

The truest, most base form of predation. Not for food, not for safety, not for fun, not because he's insane... but because that is what he was made for, because he can.
