The reason you dislike Warlock is the reason I think he was the best Michael in the franchise. His movement and mannerisms really sell the whole "He's not a man, he's a force of nature, the essence of pure evil" idea. Like for example, there's this scene where he's chasing Laurie and he walks down some stairs. Now a normal person will look down while going down stairs so they can see where they're going, but Michael just looks straight ahead, almost like he doesn't even acknowledge the stairs exist. He only sees his objective (Laurie), not the obstacle in his path. In the first movie, Loomis says "I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, seeing past it, seeing this night" I feel like Warlock's performance really exhibits that quote.

Having recently rewatched Rob Zombie's Halloween, I'm sold on Tyler Mane as the best and scariest version of Myers. There's a scene where he sprints at Laurie, spearing her over the balcony to the ground below. That's it, no stabbing, no killing, just a 7ft Michael Myers running at full speed towards someone... Easily the most terrifying thing you'd ever see if you stood in her place.

But you realize he’s exactly what you describe towards the end there, right? He’s effectively doing both. He’s perfectly replicating and expanding on Carpenter’s and Castle’s original rendering of the character, in terms of his behavior, while delivering the kind of slasher thrills that are severely absent from mainstream horror releases. Yes, blood and guts wasn’t the point of the original movie, but considering how Courtney plays the role and all these fascinating little character moments he gets, it’s hardly fair to act like he’s not effectively playing the role to the T of what Castle did, as far as movement and, again, behavior. They’re absolutely nailing it in these new movies as far as Myers is concerned, regardless of whatever other issues there are, especially in Kills. I really think Halloween fans need to untie the newer films from how the original was shot, lit, and how Myers was always framed like an eerie obstruction, often in the periphery, and their desire to have seen that done again in these new movies, because at this point you’re only judging the end result for what it isn’t, and not for what it is. I’d love to see someone take an honest crack at interpolating Carpenter’s original approach one day, but the reality is that that movie already exists, and it’s called John Carpenter’s Halloween.

Totally agree with your #1🔥 James Jude Courtney for me is the first Myers (aside from Tyler Mane) where his mannerisms felt like more than basic direction, like there was actual craft and purpose in it. Feeling like an actual character with motivation as opposed to a stuntman following stage direction Halloween Kills really is the prime example of this. The way Michael stabs the guy over the table and keeps turning to grab another knife, is a mixture of creepy, aggressive, and somewhat juvenile which I found hilarious. The way he gets up after his mask is taken off and looks at Karen, and his reaction to the mob, before picking it back up is awesome, like an old cowboy about to have his last standoff. And the way he moves during the fight seems to show some vulnerability as if he’s being overwhelmed which makes me wonder how much humanity is still present. But hands down my favorite moment with him, is after he kicks the car door and makes the girl shoot herself. The way he gets out and tilts his head down at her is so unsettling and badass. Does he remember her from the 2018 film? Is he checking out her dead body like a creep? Or his he just admiring how he couldn’t have pulled off that kill again if he tried, and he’s admiring his craft? There’s so much about this portrayal I love and I can’t wait for Halloween Ends.

Also, the best walk and the sneakiness that he added to the character. 2) Dick Warlock- creepiest Michael Myers, love the long take scene when he was walking on the street to the hospital, favorite kill is when killed the nurse and lift her up with the scalpel 3) James Jude Courtney- balanced Michael Myers, brutal like Mane and Wilbur, creepy walk like Castle and Warlock. 4) George Wilbur ( Tom Morga/ A Michael Lerner)- Mysterious Michael Myers, brutal and scary concurrently as the character, love his walk especially the hallway scene in curse of Michael myers, favorite kills is the shotgun scene in return of Michael Myers and the surgical machete with the doctors in the curse of Michael myers 5) Donald Shanks- emotional Michael Myers, like his slower pace of his walk in the movie, like the scene where Dr. Sam Loomis fights Michael with the 2X4 6) Chris Durand- Animalistic Michael Myers, love durand portrayal of Myers, like his walk and the homage to the kill of Laurie Boyfriend similar to Halloween 2. 7) Tyler Mane- Brutal/ enormous Michael Myers, very brutal with the kills and his 6’8 appearance was imposing to his victims. I enjoy his performance as Myers but I have mixed feelings for the Rob Zombie’s series. 8) Brad Loree- Halloween: resurrection is the worst movie in the original series, but I enjoy his performance as the character. I thought he was brutal and had a nice walk chasing Laurie in the beginning of the movie.

So the way I rank them is a little bit different. When I say that, I'm referring to the Michael Myers of the original 1978 classic. With him, I cannot give credit to just one or two people. The original Michael was a group effort, and I acknowledge all of the people that made it possible and contributed to all of the elements we all came to know and love about the character. I also separate the performances of George P. Wilbur and James Jude Courtney, and all because there are big differences. That being said...here goes. 10. Don Shanks (Halloween 5) 9. Brad Loree (Resurrection) 8. George P. Wilbur (Halloween 4) - With 10-8, my rankings are more a product of their respective films and/or how they looked more than anything else. They moved alright and they did the best the could with what they were given. 7.-6. Tyler Mane (Zombie-verse) / James Jude Courtney (Halloween Kills) - With 7 and 6, they are tied here because I can't decide which one to put ahead of the other in regards to why they're ranked this low. With that said, while they were better than the 3 I ranked before them, they were entirely too brutal. With Zombie's Michael, that's what Zombie wanted, and as an entirely new Michael, I can respect and forgive him that. With Courtney's portrayal in 'Kills', though...this is supposed to be a continuation of the original 1978 film and Carpenter's vision. This is an old man (in his 60's / will be close to 70 in 'Ends') that is somehow far stronger and far more brutal than even Zombie's Michael ever dreamed of being. It's ridiculous to me and doesn't make sense, and it resembles Carpenter's vision in no way, shape, or form. He doesn't even move like the original except in one or two scenes. He's just an aimless, mindless juggernaut. Don't get me wrong, he's still intimidating as hell. He's just too brutal is all. It also doesn't help this performance at all that the equally mindless writers clearly have no idea what they want this Michael to be, and it shows. If it wasn't for the fact that I love the look of this 'Kills' outing, he would've been lower on the list. 5. Chris Durand (Halloween H20) - Did a decent enough job picking up where Warlock and the cast/crew of the original film left off. I know the mask situation in that film was awful, but I liked the actor/stuntman well enough for what he had to accomplish. 4. James Jude Courtney (Halloween (2018)) - To me, Courtney did a much better job in his first outing. There was still enough of 'The Shape' to him in his movements and mannerisms. He wasn't over-the-top ridiculously brutal. Yes, there were a couple pretty harsh kills, but nothing like the following film. In the end, he felt enough like an aged continuation of the original for my taste. My enjoyment of 2018 makes me dislike 'Kills' even more sometimes. 3. George P. Wilbur (Halloween 6) - I absolutely adored the way this Michael looked and moved. I know he wasn't on the level of some of the others, but I loved him. The mask looked great and Wilbur had clearly taken enough with him from 4 to fully make this one his own. This is one of the few Michaels that I can say genuinely terrified me as a kid. 2. The Cast/Crew of Halloween (1978) - As I mentioned above, I fully acknowledge the original group effort that went into making a slasher film icon that would stand the test of time. Starting with Debra Hill - may she rest in peace - who was technically the very first appearance we see of Michael Myers in the franchise in that legendary opening single shot where her hands grasp Michael's first kitchen knife, his first mask, and his first victim. She also portrayed the adult Michael in the scene where Tommy Doyle sees his silhouette across the street while trying to spook Lindsay Wallace. Honestly one of the most unnerving shots of the Shape. Will Sandin, for giving the evil its first and one of its most haunting faces. Tommy Lee Wallace, for portraying Michael for the infamous closet scene. Tony Moran for his portrayal during the unmasking scene. And of course, Nick Castle, for giving the Shape what should have remained as his signature walk and economy of movement. 1. Dick Warlock (Halloween II (1981)) - I don't care what anybody says...Dick Warlock took what the first film established about Michael Myers and perfected it. Not only is Warlock's portrayal my favorite, I also consider it the best statistically, and by quite a wide margin. To me, this is the ultimate summation of John Carpenter's vision of the Shape. It IS the Shape. He moves like a specter, almost completely without sound or hindrance. It's as if the very air around him parts just for him. He is the definition of not human in this movie. This film terrified me more than any other in the franchise as far as the cold, unrepentant darkness that lies beneath that mask and boiler suit. It makes me so angry when people use those 2 seconds of him coming through that metal/glass hospital door to condemn Warlock's performance across the rest of the film. I ask you to walk straight into an obstruction like that without breaking stride and tell me it doesn't stagger your movement for a moment. That's what happens in that 2 seconds, and you act like he just Terry Crewes robot walks his way through the whole film. His movement here is actually incredibly fluid and again, very ghost-like. I appreciate your sentiment, but please don't let that 2 seconds be your final judgment of this portrayal. Just as well, while I think this movie still wasn't all that brutal, his parts in this film's kills are the creepiest and scariest of any film in the series. It's the only portrayal of Michael that stills gives me chills to this very day without fail.

You never notice Annie getting her throat cut in 1978 until three years ago? Hmm, so not only did you miss the scene in the car where he slashes her, but you missed her cut throat as she was posed on the bed, and then in Halloween II when Brackett looks at her we see her obviously slashed throat? Oh well, after all of these decades, I only just now realized that the woman that comes to get Dr. Loomis in Halloween II is actually Marion from the first movie!!!! 🤣 How did I miss that for so long????

For top 5, I would pick: 5. Chris Durand You can see some aspects of Castle's and Warlock's portails. That's what they were going for and he's okay. Maybe if he'd had better direction and a better mask, people would like him more. 4. Airon Armstrong He was really good in the flashback sequence. I agree that it was crucial that Michael in the flashback wasn't as brutal as he is now. And he really got the movements down. 3. Tyler Mane You can't argue about his screen presence. He is intimidating and scary as hell. Also brutal as hell. 2. Nick Castle He, along with John Carpenter and Deborah Hill created The Shape. For the huge majority of the fans he will always be The Shape. 1. James Jude Courtney Just like you, Cody, it was the latest movie that bumped JJC to the first spot. Just by a rozor's edge for me, but still. If I have to pick, I'll pick JJC's Michael. He is the perfect mix of Castle's stalker and Mane's brutal Myers. He nails every aspect of the role. #5 is pretty much interchangable with Dick Warlock for me. Yes, he is stiff in some scenes, but other than that, he does a good job.

I actually agree with your top 2, which is absolutely insane because I would have considered it blasphemy for anyone to rank someone higher than Nick Castle for the entirety of the twenty or so years before 2018 (when I first saw the original).

Thank you for saying what I’ve been saying since 2019. JJC is currently the best Michael Myers. I’ve heard people complain about Michael’s mask/walk/etc for every film EXCEPT the Michael from 2018. The man is killin it. Pun intended.

I honestly love them all except for resurrection. That just didn’t feel like a Halloween movie at all. But I’d rank them… 1st - Tyler Main (loved Zombies movies way before his brilliant take on the horror icon) 2nd - Dick Warlock ( I have the opposite take on the door smash. That’s one of the first things I ever saw in a Halloween movie and it’s always stuck with me. Love that he was just a force that stopped for nothing) 3rd - James Jude Cortney 4th - George P. Wilbur (he almost took 3rd, H4 was on tv a lot when I was a kid and I always loved it. THAT THUMB THOUGH) 5th - Nick Castle (yeah yeah yeah I’m not a real fan etc etc) 6th - Don Shanks 7th - Chris Durand 8th- Brad Loree Didn’t bother with the outliers.

Rob Zombies Halloween is the best. Everyone is lying to themselves. I get the original is the original, and John Carpenter is the king of horror, but the brutality and overall dread and style of Zombies take is superior in my opinion. Also Michael Meyers being 6’ 8” is terrifying.

I mean nick castle is the gold standard, its what all actors try to be when they put on that mask. Nick castle was not directed at all during the making of H1. Carpenter told him to just have at it. Including the head tilt was just spontaneous.

So, Halloween always scared me growing up. I don't know if it's because I was born in October or what, but it always did, something about any Michael Myers has bothered me and I've even carried it over as an adult. Nick Castle's Myers has always given me chills and unnerved me the most .. until JJC. I had problems with HK, mostly that they didn't give JJC that creepy stalkery vibe that the OG. But the scene with Lindsey and the bridge really had me unnerved and anxious and I think that's the sign of a good Michael Myers. I will also say though, in the flashback when Michael just drops the guy and leaves waiting for the cops to get him it was almost like he was that 6 year old again, waiting to take his punishment and that was almost as creepy. So that gets right below Tyler Mane for me at number 3. So mine goes JJC, Nick Castle, Tyler Mane and Airon Armstrong. Least favorite is Durand because he got kicked in the balls and I saw it bother him and it was just comedically bad.

A. Michael Lerner is definitely a favorite for me. He played Myers for the reshoots in Halloween 6. The director thought George Wilbur was too puffy, so he got someone slimmer to replace him in the reshoots. So for about half of the theatrical cut, it’s A. Michael Lerner playing Myers, and the other half is Wilbur. However, in the producer’s cut, Wilbur plays him for the whole movie, since that was the original movie prior to reshoots.

here’s something to think about: how do you think the actors that play michael (or any serial killer) feel when they watch their movie? do you think they get just as scared of the character like the audience does? or do y’all just think that the horror effect doesn’t work for them?
