It surprises me some people don't know this one too. I swear the fact gets trotted out as a 'little known fact' every time they talk about the movie.

I honestly didn't know this. I never really thought about who Michael Myer's mask was based on.

Would it have been scarier if it was based on Leonard Nimoy?

[Justin]

Agreed Graeme a Leonard Nimoy mask may have been scarier lol

Wasn't he scary enough in the 70s version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers? :D

Yep. As the film wasn't actually filmed over Halloween they grabbed the only mask available at a local store and it was a William Shatner mask.
