Biography
Mister Nichol was a resident of the town of Haddonfield, Illinois in the late 1970s. He was the owner of Nichol's Hardware Store. In addition to traditional hardware supplies, the store also sold various sundries including Halloween masks. A popular mask during the 1978 season was "The Shape". This was the mask ultimately acquired by Michael Myers, which he wore on the night that he killed several people in the town on Halloween night.

The day after news broke out of the murders, Mister Nichols decided to get rid of all the masks. He pulled them off the shelves and threw them into a dumpster. He thought he heard a noise, as Michael Myers stealthily moved past him, acquiring a fresh mask. Nichols' held up a hammer to defend himself, but as he whipped around, Myers was nowhere to be seen.
