The REAL reason
Is to do with Halloween tradition when the Celts used to sacrifice war criminals, the insane ect for the good of their foodstock and or to see "into the future".
Part of their festivities included that Halloween be the one night where society collapsed and everyone would go crazy for the night, disguising themselves in costumes and behind masks.
Seeing as Myers is insane and the Celts are mentioned a few times throughout Halloween 1 - 6, it seems as if this is the reason.
Or it was just a good idea for a movie, as John Carpenter said he wanted to make Myers look like a human with a mask that represented the human face, only it was pure evil behind it.
i read a interveiw with Carpenter, and they asked him what he thought would happen if they put Myers up against Jason or Freddy and he said Myers'd get his arse kicked, the one from any movie he didn't make, but his origonal Myer's would kick ass. and as for the mask, why not, who cares, he can wear it if he wants
Why does Michael Myers wear a mask?
This thread is about why Michael Myers wear a mask. The person wants the truth, not jokes. If you want to make jokes, I suggest you make another thread. There is actully a person who really wants to find out as much as I do, we do not wish to hear pathetic jokes.

I would guess because it dehumanizes him to a degree. If you woke up in the middle of the night and saw a figure looming over your bed which would be scarier?
A guy without a creepy mask or a guy with a creepy mask?
Most people will say the guy with the creepy mask because you can't see his face.
Regardless, the movie would have not been nearly as good if the character wasn't wearing a f($(%*$ up mask.
Either you people are trying to make up a pathetic joke or you don't know shit. Rob Zombie never wanted anyone to know why Myers never could die from gun shots, why he kept coming back to live. It was a mystery that could never be solved, and that's the beauty of it.
I feel back for those people who really wants real answers, they can't go no where without some fat homos like you keep on talking about dildos or make up these pathetic answers. This website should be closed, it is no help.
For those who wish to know real answers, go on Yahoo! or on WikiAnswers.
Why i think michael myers wears a mask.
I think it's because Myers sometimes cries so that's why he wears a mask. His anger and suffering as a child attracted a curse: all the members in his family that kept shut while he was abused by his parents are concidered to be traitors so they must be killed. And i also think that's why he has to kill unwillingly because of the evil celtic "Curse of Thorn", seen as a rune on one of his arms. Originally called "The Shape" he is a human impulsed and empowered by a a force of nature -mysterious supernatural unkillable force. So i think he uses the mask so nobody sees him crying. 😠
Michael Myers has the same problem as the killer in Red Dragon had.
He believes he is the Boogey Man. Who will one day rise up and consume all of his victims. When Michael wears the mask he becomes something more, an idea personified.
Fortunately for Michael he is the chosen child amongst cultist druids of THORN that infused the demon into Michael and made him a creature that must sacrifice his next of kin. Which is why he is always hunting family. And with the druids making Michael a death avatar, his persona can now flurish.
That's why Michael wears the mask.....that and he may of liked Star Trek, it was a mask of Shatner after all. 😛
