What Michael Myers From The Original Halloween Looks Like Today

Nick Castle and John Carpenter's partnership did not stop with the original "Halloween." They went on to work on another film together. Castle wrote the screenplay for Carpenter's film "Escape from New York" starring Kurt Russell. " Eagle-eyed viewers may also see him in an uncredited acting role in the film as well. Carpenter and Kurt Russell continued to work together in the sequel "Escape From L.A." Castle did not join them for that film, but he is credited nonetheless for the creation of the characters. 

Castle's career progressed into writing and directing. He earns nostalgia points for being one of the screenwriters on Steven Spielberg's "Hook." He also directed a number of films including 1984's "The Last Starfighter." The film's premise may be familiar to those who enjoyed Hulu's "Futureman." Those are all impressive credits, but the "Halloween" franchise looms large over Castle's oeuvre — so much so, that he actually returned for one more rodeo with the white mask.
