Michael Myers — THORN ERA / HALLOWEEN 4–6
MICHAEL MYERS — CANONICAL BUILD
Overview
Michael Myers is a pure silhouette build: a bleached-white expressionless mask with sparse dark hair, a dark navy/charcoal boiler suit or mechanic coverall worn loose, black work boots and a large kitchen knife. Nothing is bright, nothing is fitted — the whole read comes from the mask plus the shapeless coverall.
