And the worst part about it is the posters had the correct mask! wtf??

1. The posters sell the movie. Can't have a knock off if you want people to go see it. Especially after the Halloween III debacle where Michael wasn't on the poster, but they still thought he was in it.
2. They had trouble securing the rights to the Don Post version of the mask after II. Legal reasons. Plus, considering it was a knock off Star Trek William Shatner mask, there's 2 more reasons it had to be different.
3. That mask was burned and destroyed, not to mention a decade old, so they had to make a new one. Different people made the mask, different people wore the masks. So by that alone, there are going to be differences.
4. Story reasons. As was said before, the II mask was burned and gone. Haddonfield's not going to have the exact mask of a murderer just lying around. But by the same token, it can't be too different or fans would revolt. So close, but no cigar. The 4 mask was subjected to a year in the elements. Wear and tear, as is seen in the remake.
So that's why the mask was different in all the films.

Yes, the mask were terrible. They didnt represent Michael facial identity (blank, pale, emotionless face) like the first two. Michael's mask in 4 & 5 were just white mask..
Michael's mask in #6 is an improvement.
Agreed. In their defense, though, for story and production purposes, 4 and 5's masks weren't going to be carbon copies. They did the best with what they had to work with.

Yeah I read the trivia where it said the masks molded after a while. It couldn't be the same
shareThe mask here looked better than it did in 4 and H20 (one of the stronger movies in the series). Far better. I wouldn’t expect them to use the same looking mask every time anyway, even if the original represented the shape best.
There’s a lot of things wrong with this movie, but the mask was fine for what it is. The movie has good atmosphere and tension, so that also helped his appearance.
