Here is a story that has been swirling with rumors for the past few months so we thought it would be a perfect time to comment on the tuation. Rumor has it Don Post Studios is long the rights to produce the Michael Myers style masks later this year, a mask they have been producing for years. Don Post is also the original company that produced the infamous Captian Kirk mask (made in 1975) that John Carpneter converted with the help of Tommy Lee Wallace into the terrifying "white mask" we see in the original two films.
Whether this is official is not certain but deep in the mask community the rumor is strong and talks of who will take over the license pointing to an independent mask making company aptly named TRICK OR TREAT STUDIOS who is owned by former HorrorBid allum and moderator Christopher Zephro.
While nothing has been officially confirmed as of this writing it would be interesting to see what quality an independent studio could deliver as many of Post's masks have never been able to capture the true creepy look that the original mask displayed.

This is great news if it's true.
Trick or Treat Studios masks are excellent quality .
Don Post's Myers masks have always been horrible which I never quite understood.

I love Don Post but like I've said before I can't wait for this. Trick or Treat Studios is awesome and completely deserve the license while Don Post has been wasting it for years now.

I'm not sure if I buy it completely. True dp has made some down right awful Myers masks but for them it's still a cash cow. They make a bundle every year from people that don't know any better selling their Myers masks. Why change now? As far as Trick or Treat studios, that would be amazing news because they make masks with staggering quality for the money. I guess we shall see.

yes but you forget ryn don post cant hold the rights to the mask forever the is a expiration date to the myers mask rights and they could lose it that way if someone grabs it first before dps does so there is a good chance that they could lose the rights in 2012
