If you are a horror fanatic, you've probably thought about 'Halloween' villain Michael Myers' height at least once. Ranging from 5 feet and 10 inches (1.77 m/177 cm) to 6 feet and 9 inches (2.05 m/ 205 cm), Michael Myers' height makes him one of the tallest villains in the horror genre, as per various reports.

Myers is a fictional character from the slasher series who has been characterized as pure evil, both directly in the films and by the filmmakers who created and developed the character over nine films, ever since its debut in 1978.

The main antagonist of John Carpenter’s franchise, Myers is an emotionless, mute serial killer who, at the age of six, murdered his older sister Judith in cold blood on Halloween night and was incarcerated in a mental institution.

Breaking out fifteen years later, Michael proceeds to stalk and murder the citizens of his hometown in Haddonfield, Illinois, practically every year on Halloween night.

Michael Myers’ exact height

This is a tricky question, as Michael Myers' exact height is not always the same - it is entirely dependent on which timeline movie one is referring to. Thanks to actor Nick Castle's portrayal of 'The Shape', the character stood at 5 feet and 10 inches (1.77 m/177 cm) in 1978's original 'Halloween'. Meanwhile, going by Tony Moran, the actor who played Michael in John Carpenter film when he was unmasked, the character's height was 6 feet.

Although being a horror villain that is almost 6 feet (1.8 m/183 cm) tall is scary enough, Tyler Mane, who played The Shape in Rob Zombie's contentious remakes, may have been the only actor to depict Michael in a way that made viewers shiver.

As the tallest Michael out of the bunch, Mane stands at 6 feet and 9 inches (2.05 m/ 205 cm) making that version of Michael Myers the most threatening of all.

Nick Castle reprised his role as Michael in David Gordon Green's 'Halloween' films for a limited period of time in the revised trilogy. Having said that, James Jude Courtney, a relatively unknown Michael actor, was also added to the mix. At 6 feet and 3 inches, (1.9 m/190 cm) Courtney has a reputation as one of the tallest and most vicious Michaels ever.

The height of Ghostface varies throughout the 'Scream' series as different characters assume the role.

Ghostface is well-known for his dark, hooded cloak and white, extended mask, which were both influenced by Edvard Munch's artwork 'The Scream'. Throughout the 'Scream' series, several actors have portrayed Ghostface, with a different figure assuming the identity in each movie.
