Amazing Special Effects That Were Actually Made For Cheap

 

Halloween

Captain Kirk Mask The original Halloween introduced the world to Michael Myers, and what made the silent serial killer so particularly terrifying was his white, misshapen mask which had the barest resemblance to an actual human. The original mask was not made by a special team of horror experts who knew just how to make it so peculiarly bereft of human emotion. Instead, the props team found an old Star Trek mask modeled after the likeness of the character of Captain Kirk. They took the mask, messed up the hair, painted it white and widened the eyeholes. Thus was born one of the most enduring pieces of horror imagery in history.
