Fede Alvarez’s ‘Alien’ Film Finally Has a Release Date

Michael Myers is one of the most well-known horror killers of all time in the movie industry. Spanning over several decades and having appeared in 12 of the 13 films as the main antagonist in the Halloween franchise, it’s safe to say he’s very popular. To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the original film this year a little early we are going to dive into interesting facts you may not have known about this horror icon. 

6 Different People Portrayed Michael Myers In The Original Film

Interesting Facts You May Not Have Known About Michael MyersMichael Myers

You heard right. In the original Halloween (1978), Michael Myers is portrayed by 6 different people. The people that portrayed him include Will Sandin, Debra Hill, Nick Castle, Tony Moran, Tommy Lee Wallace, and James Winburn. 

            In the intro scene when Michael Myers is a kid, he is played by Will Sandin, and the close-up scene where the knife is grabbed out of the kitchen drawer is Debra Hill who co-wrote the film with John Carpenter. Next, we have Nick Castle who portrays him the most throughout the movie and is credited as The Shape in the credits. He portrays him in all the masked scenes except for one. In the scene where the mask is removed, it is Tony Moran who portrays him. 

Nick Castle as Michael Myers

We also have Tommy Lee Wallace who portrayed him anytime a barrier or something that needed to be broken or busted through. This was because it was easier for him to do it because he knew the exact spots that need to be broken in the props. Then we have James Winburn who was the stunt double and portrayed him in the scene where Michael Myers falls off the balcony. 

Michael Myers Has A Middle Name

This horror icon is popularly known as Michael Myers but what many people may not realize or catch on to is that he has a middle name. His full name is Michael Audrey Myers.  It’s mentioned originally in the tv version of the 1978 film in a scene that was not included in the theatrical version of the movie.

Oddly, this was included in only the tv version of the film but as they are reading off the patient’s name, they say Michael Audrey Myers. What makes it even weirder is that in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, the patient paperwork says Michael M. Myers instead. A continuity error for sure, but it’s something that’s a fun fact and only seen by keen eyes. 

Michael Myers Has 4 Different Movie Timelines 

As crazy as it sounds, Michael Myers has 4 different timelines not including Halloween 3. The first original timeline consists of Halloween (1978), Halloween 2 (1981), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, and Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers.

The second timeline consists of Halloween (1978), Halloween 2 (1981), Halloween: H20, and Halloween: Resurrection.

The third timeline consists of the Rob Zombie remakes which are Halloween (2007) and Halloween (2009).

Then the fourth and latest timeline consists of Halloween (1978), Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills (2021), and Halloween Ends (2022). 

            It’s definitely a process to handle and remember all these timelines. They all have their own perks and it’s all up to the fans which ones they like and don’t. They are all unique in their own way and bring something different to the table. 

Michael Myers Wasn’t Originally Supposed To Be Supernatural

It may be hard to believe that but according to John Carpenter, it wasn’t the original intent. He explained that Michael Myers was supposed to be seen as an unknown entity. You aren’t sure whether he is more than human. At the time, he made him this way to confuse the viewers and keep them guessing what he truly was. In later films and different timelines, it changes from a curse, then to an awful childhood, and then back to an entity that gets stronger the more it kills. Again, it all comes down to whatever the viewer prefers and enjoys. 

It is possible to go on and on about the interesting facts you may not have known about Michael Myers. These are just the ones that aren’t as commonly known. Did you know any of these or do you know some interesting ones as well? Let us know down below in the comments.
