‘Halloween Kills’ To Bring Back The Original Michael Myers Actor

Last 12 months’s Halloween was slavishly reverential, not solely bringing again (from the useless) Jamie Lee Curtis’ pioneering Final Girl Laurie Strode however even getting John Carpenter, the unique’s director and composer, to convey again his basic theme music. Halloween Kills — the primary of two just lately introduced sequels — will go one additional: It’s bringing again the unique Michael Myers himself.

Now, a pair caveats right here: For one, mentioned actor — Nick Castle, a Carpenter collaborator who went on to turn into a director himself, helming The Last Starfighter, Dennis the Menace, and Major Payne — did have a cameo in final 12 months’s Halloween. For one other, it’s not 100% clear in what capability he’ll be returning. Here’s the unique tweet, as caught by Entertainment Weekly:

“You can’t kill the boogeyman,” Castle wrote. “Just heard the news. I’m coming back.” After some — maybe rightly — interpreted this as that means he’ll be donning the previous Shatner masks once more, Castle clarified…kind of.

“I’ll be returning but, you know Big Game James still got the torch! More later,” he wrote. Fair sufficient.

Should Castle certainly return to the position, he’ll be changing James Jude Courtney, who took over the enduring position in a direct sequel to a basic authentic that has the identical title, which absolutely nobody finds complicated. But once more, all now we have are cryptic tweets that appear to solely point out one factor, which is that Castle is coming again to a task he hasn’t performed in over 40 years. We’ll discover out subsequent 12 months, when Halloween Kills comes out, adopted the 12 months after that with Halloween Ends, which gained’t truly be the tip of Michael Myers.
