Tips

If the latex mask feels too tight or hot, use scissors to carefully widen the nostril and mouth slits from the inside.
Apply some dark eyeshadow around your own eyes before putting on the mask to make your eyes blend into the dark eye sockets.
To get a movie-accurate look, rub a little real dirt or charcoal onto the coveralls to make them look weathered.
Walk slowly and silently; Michael Myers never runs, which makes the costume even more intimidating.
