Damn, he was smaller then Nick lol. But he did seem to have more meat on his bones then Nick did.

23

Yes he was more heavyset, but still skinny

Now that we have a definite answer for the original coverall make and color, will Nick’s exact weight be the new mystery question? :joy:

25

We are still not sure about the size of Nick’s coverall, maybe a 40 or 42?

:laughing:

Warlock’s coveralls were also a lot tighter on him, that’s why he looks bulkier

That’s all good as long as long we don’t start asking about the size of his appendage :laughing:

Fair enough. I don’t think he was over 155, though.

He was 145 pounds:

I knew he was super skinny and figured he was around 5’11" which he confirms. He says now he is closer to 5’10". That is always something that struck me. You have two types of mask collectors. Those who want an accurate mask to display. Then there are those that want to the costume down to every specific detail.

I have seen so many people go overboard about the brand of kitchen knife and the perfect jungle boots. They go to all of these lengths in getting the details right but forget they may not look like Nick Castle. That’s great if you have the best mask, boots, and coveralls, but if you are 5’7" or 215lbs you will never look like The Shape.

There is a particular body type to play Freddy, or Jason, and even Michael Myers. I guess if you are going to spend thousands of dollars on getting the costume right you should definitely look like Nick Castle in 1978. Thats just my two cents.

150 - 160.

35

Dang… I guess I fit the bill pretty close at 6’ 145 lbs

36

So most guys nowadays would’ve just walked up to Myers, looked down at him and laughed

37

This is true I feel to a certain extent but don’t agree with 100 percent . In regards to the weight obviously if you are talking about being over 200lbs while having a short height yea that’s not gonna look right but you can be under 5"10 and still pull off the look .that’s why there’s a thing called shoe lifts. Maybe u heard of them? Dick Warlock actually wore them in halloween 2…because he was 5"9 and wore the show lifts to make him taller in scale and I think it’s safe to say he pulled off the look in regards to height just fine with the show lifts. He didn’t look like a midget Shaoe lol :jack_o_lantern:

38

I’m 5’11 and last year had a probably 10 year old girl tell me “You’re a little short to be Michael Myers” made me die on the inside lol

39

Oh man lol I guess some kids have the perception the Shape is supposed to be this giant lol

Thanks to Rob Zombie…

But seriously, people on this website would be SHOCKED if they realized how little the general population cares about how Michael looks/acts. Most people see me walking at a normal pace and they’ll tell me “Michael doesn’t walk that fast” or “Michael’s coveralls are blue not green” and I’m just facepalming myself the entire night, because they have no idea I’m almost religious about the first movie lol
