Given the challenges presented by COVID-19 which we are all currently experiencing, we here at HalloweenMovies.com thought we’d reach out to original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle in order to see how he’s fairing, and he not only gave us an update on what he’s been up to, but also sent some wishes to Halloween fans worldwide for their safety during this time.
“To all the Halloween fans out there, here’s a big ‘hello’ from your old pal, the OG Shape,” greeted Castle, who in addition to originating the character of Myers in John Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic, reprised the role (along with James Jude Courtney) in 2018’s Halloween and the upcoming Halloween Kills, the latter due for release this fall.
“As you can see,” Castle continued, “I’m hunkering down like the rest of you, ‘mask on mask,’ riding out the pandemic with you, and hoping with a little luck we’ll all be healthy and virus-free this October to watch Michael do his thing in Halloween Kills. I did the post-production (voice over) breathing for all of the Shape scenes right before the shutdown took place, and let me tell you, there is no lack of thrills in this new epic!”
“Meanwhile, stay safe! Love to all.”
See? The Shape (s)cares!
