'Halloween' Stuntman & Michael Myers Actor George P. Wilbur Dead at 81

Famous Hollywood stuntman and actor George P. Wilbur died at the age of 81 this past Wednesday. While Wilbur had an over 60-year career, the actor will mainly be remembered for his numerous horror contributions. Particularly as Michael Myers in 1988’s Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and 1995’s Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.

Wilbur started out his career as a stand-in-actor for John Wayne throughout the 60s. He would then go on to work on films like Escape From the Planet of the Apes and The Running Man while having roles on TV shows like Mission: Impossible, The Six Million Dollar Man, Magnum P.I., and Dynasty. His stunt work included iconic genre films like Die Hard, Total Recall, Casino, and Spider-Man. However, again, Wilbur will forever be associated with horror.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Wilbur's Halloween Legacy When Wilbur starred in Return of Michael Myers, the Halloween franchise was starting a new era. After Michael Myers' “definitive” death by fire at the end of Halloween II, the series experimented with the anthology genre in 1982’s Halloween III: Season of the Witch. While rightfully a cult classic now, the lack of Michael Myers in the film rubbed many fans the wrong way at the time. This brought us to the grand return of Myers in 1988.

You can celebrate Wilbur’s amazing legacy by watching Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers which is streaming on Shudder now. The trailer for the beloved slasher can be viewed down below.
