Halloween Star Pretends to Jump Into Niagara Falls with OG Michael Actor
The Halloween franchise's current Michael Myers palled around with the character's original actor during a visit to Niagara Falls. Throughout the years, many performers have portrayed the masked serial killer that originally stalked babysitters in the town of Haddonfield, Illinois in John Carpenter's 1978 classic Halloween. In that film, the role was a dual one, with Tony Moran playing the unmasked Michael and Nick Castle playing The Shape, the mythical name that the killer is known by when he is wearing his mask. Although the Halloween franchise racked up 6 sequels and 2 remakes through the early 2010s, neither actor returned to play Michael Myers during that time.
That all changed when Blumhouse began their new Myers trilogy with Halloween 2018, followed by 2021's Halloween Kills and the upcoming Halloween Ends, coming to theaters on October 14, 2022. The trilogy, which ignores the sequels and follows directly from the events of the first film, has brought together some new blood with many members of the original Halloween cast, including Jamie Lee Curtis (who played the final girl Laurie Strode), Charles Cyphers (Sheriff Brackett), and Kyle Richards (Lindsey Wallace). The reboots' most important and literal blending of old and new is in the casting of Michael Myers, with Castle returning to perform the character in certain moments while stunt performer James Jude Courtney steps in for the more taxing sequences behind the mask.
