After catching the clascs, HALLOWEEN and HALLOWEEN 2, last night the wheels started to spin about who played the best Michael Myers. The infamous role is as legendary as the films themselves. Many love Nick Castle's (the original H1 Michael Myers) clasc stalking while other feel Dick Warlock (HALLOWEEN 2) portrayal of the Shape is the best we will ever see.
It's time for the showdown. Castle vs. Warlock, Myers vs. Myers, Icon vs. Icon. If you're reading this then there is a good chance you have seen the clascs HALLOWEEN and HALLOWEEN 2 more than a few times. With that being the case many of you have strong opinions on this matter. We're not talking about Oscar winning performances here, after all your bacally asked to walk when your called to play Michael Myers but we all know that if done wrong it can throw the whole movie off.
Nick Castle was the original and by not acting (in his own words) just walking he created the famous slow stalking walk that Mike became known for. Dick Warlock was a stunt man when he got the part to play the Shape in part 2. Warlock had a slightly bulkier look and did a great job following in Castle's footsteps. It's a close call and want the Bidite nation to decide! Who wins in your book?
