Much like Halloween 2018, Michael Myers was primarily played by James Jude Courtney in Halloween Kills, but a few other actors stepped in to fill his shoes at various points. For starters, original “Shape” actor Nick Castle plays Myers in a brief shot that was ultimately cut from the film, while Airon Armstrong plays Michael in the sequel’s flashbacks to 1978.

Another actor who wears the iconic Michael Myers mask in Halloween Kills? Bloody Disgusting friend Douglas Tait, who is no stranger to playing franchise horror icons.

While Ken Kirzinger is often solely credited for playing Jason Voorhees in Freddy vs. Jason, it’s interesting to note that Kirzinger actually didn’t play Jason in the film’s final moments. For that final scene, wherein Jason emerges triumphantly from the waters of Crystal Lake, carrying Freddy’s severed head, the horror icon was played by stuntman/actor Douglas Tait!

Tait’s career as a stunt double actually began with Freddy vs. Jason, but his acting career dates back to the late ’90s. In addition to the 2003 slasher mash-up, Tait has also appeared in/worked on everything from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to the horror sequel Unfriended: Dark Web, along with roles in “Sabrina, The Teenage Witch,” Star Trek (2009), Thor, “Teen Wolf” and “Grimm.” More recently, Tait played the werewolf in Annabelle Comes Home, and he was also the boar-like Gruagach in Neil Marshall’s Hellboy.

Taking to YouTube, Douglas Tait has shared some behind the scenes footage from his time on the Halloween Kills set, documenting his transformation into the Michael Myers stunt double.

“You guys don’t understand how surreal this is. This is something I grew up loving – Michael Myers – and here I am getting in the actual coveralls. Incredible,” Tait explains with a smile.
