used your good looks.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, they heard they wanted a cherubic face to fill in.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Well no, he yeah, it's a great story he did.
There's actually see there's seven people that wore the mask
in that movie and Halloween one. People are under the
conception that it's it was just me and Nick Castle,
but it wasn't. In fact, the best scene in the movie,
which is the closet scene where she gets stuck in
the closet and she stabs them with the in the
(01:14):
eye with the hangar. Yes, that was the editor and
the set decorator, Tommy Lee Wallace who directed Halloween three.
Oh so Debrah Hill, who was the producer and co
writer of Halloween. She put on the costume twice in
the movie for two different shots.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
But you are you credited with the being the original
Mike Myers who takes the credit fifty years later, me, good, Well, have.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
You ever seen the movie?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Just seen the movie and watched the credits?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yes, yes, Oh, I didn't look at the credits.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yes, only Okay, in the by laws of the franchise
of Halloween, Michael Myers, the only people that get those
two monikers is me and Will Sannon, who played Michael
Myers at six years old, because we showed our faces.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Okay, okay, that's where I was.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
That's awesome now when I went Now, when I went
on the interview, they never said a word about the
movie at all. They just talked to me for about
five minutes, seven minutes about my life, and then I
found out later that afternoon I got the job, and
I didn't even know I had to wear But there's
a whole different I got a million stories, guys, but
(02:21):
they didn't even tell me I had to wear a
mask until I showed up on set after I signed
the contract and gave him my measurements.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Dude, I just want to introduce reintroduce you, Tony Moran,
the original Mike Myers from their first Halloween. And the
question I just wanted to ask out of the gate
is have you ever gone trigger treating as Mike Myers?
Have you ever got to a costume party as Mike Myers?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
No, no, But what is freaky is when I I'm
at the door and somebody that's kind of like not
quite a small kit anymore, like maybe like twelve years
old or thirteen, you know, in a mask and get
up and I look at them and I think, Man,
do they know I live here? I do not do that.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's all right now, all these years later, the kids,
I think you spend a lot of time with fans.
I know fans can have you perform their wedding ceremony,
but what is it? What is your what do you
What do you do now? Travel and promote.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, I've been doing horror conventions and comic cons. I've
been traveling every It just happens every year, though, I
start traveling in August every weekend around the country. Well,
actually I've started in Germany in August this year because
they've fourth kind of been there doing a convention, horror convention.
(03:40):
So I do horror conventions, I do comic cons, and
I do special appearances like this week and I'm performing
four weddings on Friday and then doing a meet and
greet on Saturday and Sunday at the original gas station
from the movie, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
All your kidding that dirty, ye old gas station. Yeah
that's great, man, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Great, isn't it. I mean, I'm so I'm so blessed
because look at I had I thought maybe a week
or two in the drive in in this movie, nobody
had ever seen this movie, because I thought was so,
you know, calling a horror movie Halloween, I mean that's
pretty corny, don't you think you really think about it objectively?
You know, And then you have a and then you
(04:25):
have a mask. You have a mask, and it's like
nobody's gonna see this, you know. And so so when
I say blessed, I mean I mean I am blessed
because look at my little sister, who was Aaron Moran
on Happy Days that yeah, yeah, she's dead, but but
(04:47):
she died from cancer. But she didn't know I did.
She did the I did the movie until two thousand
and six.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
She came out in seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I know, I just didn't tell anybody. I think my
parents died without even knowing I did the movie. She
found out by accident by doing the same convention as
me in New Jersey at Chiller Theater in New Jersey.
It's a huge convention in two thousand and six.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Why didn't you want to tell anyone?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Well, it's really not my see, I didn't think it
was ever going to do anything. So and also I
was taking myself extremely serious. When I was twenty one,
I was in this acting workshop doing Shakespeare and all that.
And back then, back then, if a producer director found
out that you did, you know, horror movies, they would
think that you sold out, you didn't respect yourself, because
(05:37):
everybody was a well known fact. The way you see
nudity is porno or horror, right, and back then those
movies were terrible. You know, the horror movies were terrible.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
