This guide lists the locations of all 14 collectibles (the 13 Halloween masks and 1 bonus item) in the story mode of the 2017 video game Halloween (developed by Boss Team Games and published by Liquid Development). You will find each collectible’s chapter, a brief description of its exact spot, and a few tips for grabbing them without missing any. The 14th collectible is a hidden “Making of� video tape, not a mask, and it only appears after you finish the main story once.
Formula
The calculator above works out your story mode collectible completion percentage. You enter how many of the 14 total collectibles you have found (masks plus the video tape) and how many of the 13 masks you have found (the tape is separate). The formula adds the two numbers, divides by 28 (the total possible collectible “slots� if you count the tape as an extra), and multiplies by 100 to get a percentage. In symbols: Completion % = (Total found + Masks found) / 28 × 100. The “Total found� variable is a count from 0 to 14, and “Masks found� is a count from 0 to 13. The result tells you how close you are to a 100% collection run.
Worked Example
Suppose you have found 11 masks and the hidden video tape, so your total collectibles found is 12 (11 masks + 1 tape) and your masks found is 11. Plug those into the formula: (12 + 11) / 28 × 100 = 23 / 28 × 100 = 82.14%. Rounded to two decimal places, that is 82.14%. The calculator block above gives the same result when you enter 12 and 11. This percentage is useful for tracking your progress if you are replaying chapters to clean up missed items.
Background: The Game and Its Collectibles
Halloween (2017) is a first-person horror game based on the 1978 John Carpenter film of the same name. You play as Michael Myers’s psychiatrist, Dr. Loomis, as you search a sanatorium for clues about your escaped patient. The game is short—roughly 2–3 hours—and is built around exploration and stealth. The story mode is divided into 7 chapters, and each chapter contains a hidden Halloween mask that references a character or scene from the film. There are 13 masks in total, plus one bonus video tape that unlocks after you beat the game once. The masks are purely cosmetic collectibles; they do not affect gameplay or unlock any special modes, but they do contribute to the game’s achievement/trophy list.
How the Collectible System Works
Collectibles are scattered throughout the game’s linear levels. They are not random—each one is in a fixed location that is always the same on every playthrough. You can replay any chapter from the main menu after you have unlocked it, which makes cleaning up missed items easy. The game does not show a counter on screen, but the pause menu (or the chapter select screen) shows how many masks you have found per chapter. The 14th collectible, the video tape, is not tied to a chapter; it appears in the main menu’s “Extras� section after you finish the story once. To get it, you simply need to complete the game—you do not have to find any masks first.
All 14 Collectible Locations (Chapter by Chapter)
Here is the full list. The chapter names are as they appear in the game’s level select. Each mask is named after the character it represents.
- Chapter 1 – “The Escape�: Mask #1 (Laurie’s mask) – In the first room after the intro, look on a shelf to your left as you enter the hallway with the flickering light.
- Chapter 2 – “The Search�: Mask #2 (Dr. Loomis’s mask) – In the office with the desk, check the top drawer of the filing cabinet against the back wall.
- Chapter 3 – “The Basement�: Mask #3 (Sheriff Brackett’s mask) – On a table in the room with the boiler, next to a toolbox.
- Chapter 4 – “The Clinic�: Mask #4 (Nurse’s mask) – In the patient room with the overturned bed, look under the mattress.
- Chapter 5 – “The Morgue�: Mask #5 (Annie’s mask) – On a gurney in the second morgue room, near the body drawers.
- Chapter 6 – “The Attic�: Mask #6 (Lynda’s mask) – In the attic, on a dusty mannequin’s head to the right of the window.
- Chapter 7 – “The Finale�: Mask #7 (Michael’s mask) – In the final room, on a table next to the radio. This one is unmissable if you finish the game.
- Chapter 1 (revisited): Mask #8 (Bob’s mask) – After you finish the game once, replay Chapter 1 and look in the locker room (the room with the lockers) – it is on the top shelf of the third locker.
- Chapter 2 (revisited): Mask #9 (Tommy’s mask) – Replay Chapter 2 and check the kitchen counter, behind the coffee maker.
- Chapter 3 (revisited): Mask #10 (Lindsey’s mask) – Replay Chapter 3 and look in the laundry room, inside the washing machine drum.
- Chapter 4 (revisited): Mask #11 (Dr. Sartain’s mask) – Replay Chapter 4 and check the examination room’s instrument tray.
- Chapter 5 (revisited): Mask #12 (Officer Hawkins’s mask) – Replay Chapter 5 and look in the supply closet, on the floor behind a mop bucket.
- Chapter 6 (revisited): Mask #13 (Marion’s mask) – Replay Chapter 6 and check the desk drawer in the study, to the left of the typewriter.
- After beating the game: Collectible #14 (Video tape) – This is not a mask. It appears automatically in the main menu’s “Extras� section. There is no in-game location to find; it is a reward for completing the story.
Note: The exact names of the masks are based on the game’s achievement list, but the locations are consistent across all versions (PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch).
How to Use This Guide and Avoid Missing Collectibles
The best approach is to play through the story once without worrying about masks, then use the chapter select to go back and clean up. The game saves your progress per chapter, so you can replay a chapter and it will remember which masks you already found. If you want to get everything in one run, follow these steps:
- Play Chapters 1–7 normally, but keep an eye out for the masks listed above. Most are in plain sight, but a few are hidden in drawers or under objects.
- After you finish the game, the video tape unlocks automatically. Check the main menu’s “Extras� section to confirm.
- Go to chapter select and replay each chapter, using the list above to find any masks you missed. The pause menu shows a mask icon for each chapter—if it is gray, you still need to find that chapter’s mask.
- If you are playing on a console, the achievement/trophy for collecting all 13 masks will pop when you pick up the last one. The video tape is not required for that achievement.
Common Mistakes and Misconceptions
One common mistake is thinking the video tape is a 14th mask. It is not—it is a separate collectible that does not count toward the “Mask Collector� achievement. Another mistake is assuming that masks are only in the chapters they appear in. In fact, the masks are all in the first seven chapters, but some only appear after you have beaten the game once (the “revisited� versions). If you are missing a mask, double-check that you have actually completed the game once—otherwise, the revisited locations will not spawn. Also, the game does not show a total count on the main screen, so it is easy to lose track. Use the chapter select screen to see which chapters still have a mask icon.
Why Bother Collecting Them?
For completionists, the masks are the only real collectible in the game, and they unlock a few achievements/trophies. They also give you a small lore nod—each mask represents a character from the film, and reading the item description gives a brief quote or fact. If you are not a completionist, you can safely skip them, as they do not affect the story or gameplay. However, finding all 13 masks is the only way to see the “Making of� video tape, which is a short behind-the-scenes featurette about the game’s development. That tape is the 14th collectible, and it is the main reward for a full collection run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to find all 13 masks to get the video tape?
A: No. The video tape unlocks simply by beating the game once. You do not need to find any masks. The tape is a separate reward, and it appears in the main menu’s “Extras� section.
Q: Can I collect masks in any order, or do I have to follow the chapter order?
A: You can collect them in any order. Each mask is tied to a specific chapter, but you can replay chapters in any order from the chapter select menu. The game remembers which ones you have already found.
Q: Are the collectibles the same on all platforms?
A: Yes. The locations are identical on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The only difference is the button prompts, which do not affect where the masks are.
Q: What happens if I miss a mask and then finish the game? Can I still get it?
A: Yes. After you finish the game, you can replay any chapter from the main menu. The masks you missed will still be there, and you can pick them up. The game does not lock you out of any collectibles.
Q: Is the video tape counted in the achievement for all masks?
A: No. The achievement/trophy for collecting all masks only counts the 13 masks. The video tape is a separate bonus that does not have its own achievement, but it is still listed as a collectible in the game’s extras menu.
Q: Are there any missable collectibles that disappear after a certain point?
A: No. All 13 masks are always available in their respective chapters, and the video tape unlocks permanently after you beat the game. There are no time-limited collectibles in the story mode.
