Halloween is considered to be a defining work of the horror genre. Aside from its brilliant construction, eerie musical score, and iconic opening sequence, it's Michael Myers (and his horribly weird mask) that makes the movie what it is: terrifying. That mask was really something special and unforgettable, and many movie fans seem to believe it took tons of time and efforts to create such a unique and iconic thing. Did you also think so?

The answer is: not really! Maybe it is hard to believe, but Myers' mask is actually just a Star Trek Captain Kirk plastic mask painted white. And that's it! Actually, Tommy Lee Wallace, Halloween's production designer, had an incredibly small budget to work with, so he went and picked up the mask for $1.98. So the reason that Halloween is probably so scary, then? It's actually the spirit of William Shatner pursuing Jamie Lee Curtis around the house.
