Choosing a finish, size and starting point
An H1-style finish takes its cue from the original 1978 Halloween look. H2-inspired work offers another direction, including the yellowed, weathered Warped75 H2 and the red tear detail of the H2 Blood Tears version. The photographs are the best starting point for comparing each piece’s expression, paint and hair.
The product pages list Warped75 H1 and H2 at 23 inches, DL Kirk H1 Boogeyman at 23.5 inches, Halloween Begins at 24 inches and Cosmic Shape at 24.5 inches. Ask Dark Labs to confirm fit and the details of the specific mask before ordering; don’t choose on the name alone.
