Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The actual mask used for Michael Myers is based on the facial features of this long time Hollywood actor. Which actor's face represents Michael Myers?

Answer: William Shatner

A William Shatner "Star Trek" Captain Kirk mask was purchased from an area costume shop. It was spray painted with white paint, eye holes were cut larger and they messed around with the hair. The end result was the mask that many have to come to know as Michael Myers.

It wasn't until years later that William Shatner was asked in an interview what he thought about his face being used in the movie. William replied that he wasn't aware of the mask using his facial features, but thought it was very cool and joked around about it.

Answer: Debra Hill

It was screenwriter and producer Debra Hill. Unfortunately Debra passed away in 2005 at age 54 from cancer. She had done a lot of work with John Carpenter (director/writer of "Halloween") on other films of his.

3. In Rob Zombie's "Halloween" he casts a very tall actor to play Michael. Some of this actor's work includes playing Sabretooth in "X-Men". Who's this 6'8" Canadian actor?

Answer: Tyler Mane

Tyler Mane was chosen by Rob Zombie himself in the remake of the horror franchise. Rob Zombie said when he was writing the movie script, he wanted the Michael Myers character to be more ruthless than ever before. And having a 6'8" Michael built like a freight train made the character more scary.

4. Who was the actor that played The Shape in the original John Carpenter version of "Halloween"?

Answer: Nick Castle

Nick Castle played the original Michael Myers. Nick was known for being a prankster, and being goofy on the set of the movie. Some female actresses like P. J Soles mentioned how they had to instruct Nick to be more rough, because he was being so gentle with them in the kill scenes.

The other three listed are people or characters associated with another horror film I like, "Wishmaster".

5. This actor that was cast as Michael Myers in "Halloween H20" is a noted stuntman. He's performed stunts in over 65 movies, and is known for his gymnastic abilities. Name him.

Answer: Chris Durand

In this movie we see Jamie Lee Curtis make her return to the franchise since "Halloween II". At the end of the movie, we see her character Laurie Strode decapitate who we thought was her brother Michael Myers, who was played by Chris Durand.

Answer: Daeg Faerch

Daeg Faerch wasn't able to play Michael in second installment of Rob Zombie's "Halloween" movie, because Daeg had grown too tall since "Halloween". Rob stated that because he had grown so much so quickly, the character's story line wouldn't have been believable. This issue forced Rob to find a different actor to play the role.

Answer: George P. Wilbur

"Halloween 4" is my absolute favorite of this horror series. I watch it every Halloween with a cold beer and I will pass out candy. I have more "Halloween" items signed by George P. Wilbur than anybody else associated with the franchise.

8. In "Halloween II" (John Carpenter) was played by this guy, who's been a stunt double for Kurt Russell for over 25 years. Who is he?

Answer: Dick Warlock

Besides his acting roles, Dick Warlock has also worked as a stunt coordinator in "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" and "Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning".

9. "Halloween" was originally going to be titled what?

Answer: The Babysitter Murders

It was indeed going to be called "The Babysitter Murders". There was some concern though about whether it sounded appealing to potential movie goers. John and others, then decided to go with "Halloween".

10. Who was the rapper in "Halloween: Resurrection" that wore Michael's mask to fool people into thinking he was Michael? His character's name was Freddie Harris.

Answer: Busta Rhymes

Even though Busta Rhymes wasn't officially Michael Myers in "Halloween: Resurrection" he did wear the mask and acted like he was Michael to scare the contestants on the show he and Nora (played by Tyra Banks) was streaming on the Internet.
