The mask used in Halloween was the face of Shatner!

During the brief pre-production time frame, Carpenter's old friend Tommy Lee Wallace (also Nancy Loomis' boyfriend) joined the crew. His responsibilities included production designer, art director, location scout, and co-editor. He also was the man responsible for creating the killer's mask. "The idea was to make him almost humorless, faceless - this sort of pale visage that could resemble a human or not," said Hill. "First came a clown mask, which we all thought was eerie and scary," Wallace told Fangoria. "A clown mask really shakes you up a bit, so we knew we were on solid footing." Then came the Kirk mask. Wallace visited Burt Wheeler's Magic Shop on Hollywood Boulevard. He bought a Captain Kirk mask for $1.98, "widened the eye holes and spray-painted the flesh a bluish white. In the script it said Michael Myers' mask had 'the pale features of a human face' and it truly was spooky looking. It didn't look anything like William Shatner after Tommy got through with it," Carpenter recalled. "We bought my entire wardrobe at JC Penney for probably a hundred bucks," says Jamie Lee Curtis. The cheap and conservative look helped convey her character's attitude.

1. Does Shatner get paid every time they show it on TV?

2. I don't think so.

It's kinda unrecognizable as him.
