Jack’s Attic is at it again, and I love this one.
The creator’s latest custom horror trading card takes a piece cut from a Michael Myers mask and presents it as evidence recovered from Halloween night, 1978. The Halloween-inspired release arrives Friday, September 18, with each card designed to look like something pulled from the Haddonfield Sheriff’s Department evidence locker.
Think of those sports cards containing a little swatch of a player’s jersey, only here you’re getting a piece of the Shape’s face. That’s a pretty fun way to bring the relic-card concept into horror collecting.
These are custom collectibles, not screen-used memorabilia. Jack’s Attic makes clear that the pieces come from actual Michael Myers masks, but those masks were neither used onscreen nor made for a film production. The cards aren’t affiliated with the production of any Halloween movie.
The evidence-file presentation is part of the fun. You’re getting a real piece of a mask wrapped in a fictional history, made to feel like it’s awaiting forensic examination after a very bad night in Haddonfield. And because the masks are being cut into individual samples, the pieces will vary from card to card.
I’m a sucker for this kind of thing. It gives horror fans their own version of a memorabilia card while letting them play along with the idea that somebody finally opened the evidence locker.
Pricing, edition size, and additional release details hadn’t been announced in the initial reveal. Keep an eye on Jack’s Attic on Instagram for those updates, and take a look at the card below.
