Nick Castle in ‘Halloween Ends’? Original Shape Will Again Have a Michael Myers Cameo
Will Nick Castle be back in this year’s Halloween Ends? Castle of course played “The Shape” in John Carpenter’s original classic, a role he briefly reprised in short cameos for both Halloween (2018) and last year’s Halloween Kills. Castle appeared as Michael in one shot of Halloween (2018), while a similar cameo in Halloween Kills ended up being cut from the film.
The actor underneath the mask throughout the majority of Halloween and Halloween Kills is James Jude Courtney, who will be back in Halloween Ends. And Nick Castle will too!
The Original Shape reveals on Twitter this week that he’ll again make a cameo appearance.
“The talented James Jude Courtney will once again play MM. I’ll have a fun cameo but let’s give credit where credit is due,” Castle tweets, sharing out an article on Halloween Ends.
Filming on Halloween Ends is currently underway, with Jamie Lee Curtis arriving on set this week. If you’d like to see the first Halloween Ends set photos, you can click here,
The final film in David Gordon Green‘s trilogy is dated for October 14, 2022.
Unfortunately, this and other recent articles on the production of Halloween Ends mistakenly think I am playing Michael Myers. The talented James Jude Courtney will once again play MM. I’ll have a fun cameo but let’s give credit where credit is due. https://t.co/redl6QCuwR

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
