Nick Castle/Dick Warlock

Michael-Myers.net General Discussion

Maybe this has been answered but I am looking for the real answer not a guess. Does anyone know how tall Nick Castle is/was when they did H1? Also how tall was Dick (maybe he can answer that himself since he would know best :smiley:) I know that I read Dick wore lifts somewhere, because they wanted him to be taller. I think I’m going to watch Halloween 3 tonight, I loved Dick Warlock as a killer android in that one :smiley:

if I remember correctly, I believe I read that Castle was 5’9?

Hmmm, I thought it was Dick Warlock that was around 5’9 or maybe 5’10, I do know that he wasn’t quite as tall as Castle was.
Thanks for the reply dude.

thanks man, I knew between them it was 5’9 and 5’10. I actually woulda guessed castle was the taller out of them both. thanks for info!

Thanks for that info, I guess it just shows you don’t need to be freakishly large to be menacing. $25.00 a day?? Wow, if they only knew at the time how popular this character would become.

Warlock here. I am 5’9" bare footed at the time we shot the movie. I think I may be a little shorter now because of age. I wore a boot w/ 2 1/2 " heels and I had a 1" insole inside the boots. You can do the math. I was with Nick at the 30 year show in Pasadena and I thought he was taller than me by more than one inch. I hope that helps. :smiley:
