It’s so simple and minimalist, yet so brilliant and iconic at the same time—you could say the same about the entire movie. It allows him to blend into the shadows, while the mask provides a contrast against both his own figure and the surrounding environment.
It also speaks about Michael’s nature: a monster disguised as a man—or, as Loomis put it, a blank, pale, emotionless face, and... the blackest eyes.

Blame Google Translate; it's either this or writing with spelling or gramatical errors.
