Michael Myers' (Brad Loree) burnt axe-attack mask from Rick Rosenthal's slasher sequel Halloween: Resurrection. Towards the end of the film, Myers was left to die in a fire in a garage after being electrocuted by Freddie Harris (Busta Rhymes). His burnt mask is seen in the final shot, when his eyes suddenly open as a coroner prepares to examine his body.

This mask was created for an alternate ending scene where Sara (Bianca Kajlich) and Freddie spoke to Michael while he was lying in a body bag, presumed dead. Michael suddenly grabbed Freddie's throat, and Sara slammed a fire-truck axe into his head. Three alternate endings were filmed for the production and can be seen in the special features on the DVD.

The design of the mask for Halloween: Resurrection was almost identical to the one used in John Carpenter's 1978 original, which was famously based on a William Shatner mask. This mask is made of rubber, painted off-white and heavily distressed to appear burnt and melted in places. It is intentionally split down the centre, representing the axe wound, and comes presented on a biscuit foam bust with strips of silver-coloured tape adhered around the edges and underside. There are remnants of stage blood present on the mask and bust. Dimensions (displayed): 27 cm x 33 cm x 44 cm (10 1/2" x 13" x 17 1/4")

Estimate: £8,000 - 12,000 M
