Every Actor Who Terrified Audiences as Michael Myers

For over 40 years, Michael Myers has been one of those horror villains who keep coming back, knife in hand and bizarre mask in place. With the exception of the third film, "Halloween III: Season of the Witch", Myers has been the antagonist of every "Halloween" film since the original. Many of the actors who played the killer were stunt performers, while a handful played unmasked versions of the villain.

Of the slew of stars who have portrayed Myers, four have played the role in more than one film in the franchise. Judging by the enduring popularity of this iconic series, there's sure to be more Michael Myers cast if the franchise continues in some form after "Halloween Ends" releases this month. With Laurie Strode's last fight on the horizon, it's the perfect time to take a look back at everyone who has been behind the terrifying mask over the past few decades. Keep reading for more on everyone who's played the horror icon so far.
