Halloween II
In preparing to shoot Halloween II, John Carpenter and Debra Hill knew that due to the amount of action that Michael would be a part of, a professional stunt actor would be the best choice for the role of Michael Myers. Dick Warlock, who also served as the stunt coordinator on Escape from New Yorkand as Kurt Russell’s personal stuntman for over 25 years, was chosen for the role. For flashbacks in which Michael Myers appears again as a young boy, he was portrayed by 14-year-old Adam Gunn.
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
After the disappointing box office of Halloween III: Season of the Witch (which did not feature Michael Myers) and a long hiatus fraught with difficulties in how to resurrect the slasher killer, he finally came back to terrify audiences once again in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. George P. Wilbur and Tom Morga shared the role of Michael in the fourth film. Morga plays Michael in the opening ambulance sequence, the gas station scene when he’s wrapped in gauze, the dinner scene with...

It should also be noted that George P. Wilbur is credited for stunts p...
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
The sixth installment of the Halloween movie series, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, sees George P. Wilbur return to the franchise as Michael Myers, playing The Shape through most of the film. However, because of test audience disapproval, Halloween 6was rushed back into production. Large portions of the film were re-shot with A. Michael Lerner replacing George P. Wilbur as Michael because the studio wanted the villain to appear less bulky. This change results in the continuity error o...
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later
Halloween H20 takes place 20 years after the original attacks on Haddonfield’s teenagers, ignoring the events of Halloweens 4, 5, and 6, and serving as a direct sequel to the first two films. Michael Myers is played by Chris Durand as he comes to find Laurie Strode and her son John at a boarding school where she serves as the dean. This brought the Halloween franchise back to its roots and allowed fans to cheer on Laurie once again as she battled The Shape. Other than Halloween H2O, Durand ha...
Halloween: Resurrection
Halloween: Resurrection follows Michael Myers as he finally kills off Laurie Strode, then returns to Haddonfield to find that his derelict childhood home is used for a live internet horror show. In this film, Michael Myers is played exclusively by Brad Loree, though Busta Rhymes and cameraman Charlie, played by Brad Sihvon, both don a Michael mask at certain points in the film. Like most of the Michael Myers actors, Loree was mostly a stuntman in movies, with work in Jennifer's Body, Cabin in...
Rob Zombie’s Halloween
Rob Zombie’s reimagining of the original Halloween brought more human elements to Michael Myers, exploring his backstory and also ramping up the psychopath element. Because of this, a lot more screen time is devoted to the young Michael Myers, played by Daeg Faerch. For the monstrous adult Michael Myers, Tyler Mane, also known for playing Rufus "RJ" Firefly, Jr. in Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects, took the role. A retired professional wrestler, Mane brought the size and strength to the role...
Rob Zombie’s Halloween II
In Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, Tyler Mane returned to his role as the adult Michael Myers, chasing after Laurie Strode and killing swaths of teens in his wake, while the young Michael Myers was played by Chase Wright Vanek. Daeg Faerch had originally signed on to reprise his role as the young Michael Myers actor in this film but was recast due to having grown quite a bit taller since the first movie. Faech was 12 when he played Michael Myers in Halloween while Vanek was 13 when he took on the...
Halloween
In the Blumhouse revival of Halloween, Nick Castle returned to his role as Michael Myers 40 years after he originated the role. Actor and stuntman James Jude Courtney supported him. While it was originally announced by the production company that the role would primarily belong to Nick Castle, with Courtney being there to supplement, it was revealed after the movie’s release that most of the screen time shows Courtney behind the Michael Myers mask. Castle appears as Myers in the window scene...
- Jamie Lee Curtis (Laurie Strode) The film's young lead went on to become its most recognizable alumnus by a considerable margin. After her breakout success as Laurie Strode in Halloween, Jamie Lee Curtis cemented her title of "scream queen" by continuing to work in horror films for a few years, including Prom Night (1980), Terror Train (1980), and John Carpenter's The Fog (1980), and also returned to Haddonfield for Halloween II (1981).
- Nick Castle (Michael Myers, a.k.a. the Shape) Many performers have worn the mask of Michael Myers over the years, but Nick Castle is the one who started it all.
- Nancy Kyes (Annie Brackett) Laurie's friend Annie was the second of three characters that Nancy Kyes (née Loomis) played for Carpenter — she first appeared in Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) and later The Fog.
- P.J. Soles (Lynda Van Der Klok) The actress who plays Laurie's other friend Lynda has more than 60 screen credits to her name. Soles' first film was Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976), and, after Halloween, she appeared in a number of high-profile projects.
