"We were working with KNB Effects Group on the mask design in LA before we flew up to Santa Rosa to prep and shoot. As the script described the killer as only wearing a ‘ghost mask' with no description of the mask or costume, we had to come up with it. KNB had a lot of design sketches and sculptures, but we had not found the look, and it was getting late. We were scouting a house for Tatum, and I went up to this little bedroom upstairs, and I saw the mask. It was the mask, but it had a white shroud. I took it, and I ran downstairs and showed it to, I think, Bruce Miller, the production designer, Wes, and probably Nick Mastandrea, our first AD. I said ‘oh my god, you guys, look at this mask! How about this?', and they said, no, we don't like it. We don't like this mask – We want to create our own mask'. Wes was very much into owning it and creating whatever we were going to use, so I just felt like, ‘seriously, you don't like this?' ‘You're not even going to consider it?' And he said, ‘no, no, no, not at all.' I don't like it.' So, I begrudgingly put it back in the bedroom."
