As we learned earlier this summer, original Shape actor\u00a0Nick Castle is back as Michael Myers in Halloween: The Game, an official video game based on John Carpenter\u2019s horror classic that\u2019s headed our way next year from Illfonic. What that means is that Castle did motion capture work for the game\u2019s Michael Myers, and we\u2019ve got a new peek behind the scenes today.<\/p>\n

The photo comes courtesy of Halloween: The Game\u2018s official website<\/a>, which ran a piece this week that reveals that Castle is working alongside stuntman\/actor TJ Storm to bring Michael Myers to life in the video game world. Castle and Storm are sharing the mo-cap duties.<\/p>\n

Nick Castle tells the website, \u201cIt did make me go watch the movie again to see just what the hell I did that contributes to the success of the character.\u201d TJ Storm adds, \u201cThe folks creating the game wanted the character to be as authentic as possible and I did my best to capture the original movements. It was fun to do and I had a great time with the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Halloween: The Game\u00a0will invite players to step into the chilling world of John Carpenter\u2019s genre-defining film, now transformed into a suspenseful one-versus-many stealth horror experience. Put on the iconic mask to become the ultimate slasher, Michael Myers, stalking and executing the citizens of Haddonfield one by one, or striving to thwart Michael Myers\u2019 plans as Civilians determined to save the unaware townsfolk before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

The video game will feature online multiplayer, offline bots, and a single-player story mode<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Halloween: The Game\u00a0will unleash Michael Myers onto Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2026.\u00a0Here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/a><\/p>\n
