In his prime he was about 5'10/5'11 but with age he slouches a bit more like most people do. He was perfect as freddy because he wasn't a midget nor was he a super bulky tall nba player. H

CaptainSpaulding.. do you mean charachter height (in that case do you have a source I could see?) or do you mean one of the actors that played myers in the original.. also.. SammyLane.. he has a glove at home (not sure if it is a screenused) but there was a slightly different model of glove in each movie.. and I think atleast two gloves were used in each.. one with real blades and a stuntglove etc.. then there was the stabbing glove.. like in part three when he kills nancy.. that glove has foam-"metal" I belive without blades on it.. you can see it in behind the scenes material.. there are a few scenes in part 1 where you can see that he sports a different model than most of the time in part 1. like the "this is god" part.. the metal pieces/design look really weird there.. but If you mean the original sharp glove (called the hero glove) used in the original.. yes that would be cool.. but they say it was used on nightmare 2 and then stolen from that set.. but I think the glove in part 2 looked a little different from the first so you never know.

Man if I were Robert England I would so taken that famous FREDDY KRUGER glove and Fedora hat and would show it to friends and family as cool swag!!
mId says on 19/Nov/09
the original heights I belive are: freddy 5.10 same actor every movie exept remake.. he is much shorter.

original michael myers is supposed to be 6'. in the original haloween alot of different people played michael.. even a woman at one point. in the second the actor was 5'9 but wore lifts to be closer to the intended 6' so at that time michael was supposed to be 6'. the later actors who potrayed him was 6'1 and 6'2 so I guess 6'2 is his new official height.. not counting the "remakes" where he is now about 6'8.

when it comes to jason I've always seen him as 6'3. (part 3) he was however about 5'11 when he first showed up (part 2.. not counting drowning flashback in part 1). the jason charachter like michael also got a little bigger. 6'4 in part 4, part 5 was not jason but the actor was 6'1-2. can't say for sure part 6 I think he was 6'4. then kane came along and wore big boots to be around 6'3-4. and freddy vs jason and remake jason's are about 6'5. but I think that is to tall for jason.. 6'3' is more right I think.

in conclusion: freddy 5'10. michael 6'-6'2 (original listing is 6' though) and jason 6'3"-4". I belive that are their somewhat official heights and what it seems most fans see them as. sorry for long post /greetings from sweden.
Comets says on 17/Nov/09
haha, he will always be my favorite freddy krueger :D
dman says on 17/Jun/09
5'9" seems rite
Haze says on 17/Jun/09
actually if im not mistaked jason was always listed listed at 6'5
Jay says on 16/Jun/09
Love him sooo much. Would love to meet him too.

Jason Voorhees has been listed as 6'3". Michael Myers I've seen listed both 6'0" and 6'2". Leatherface listed at 6'3" and Freddy listed at 5'10".
Although actors of different heights have played them....a couple if them.

Jason and Leatherface have always been listed at 6'3"...there characters...
Alex says on 31/May/09
I've seen the Myers character listed at 6'0 plenty of times too. Jason is listed at 6'3 though you'll have a few actors who were over 6'3 like Ken Kirzinger at 6'5-6'5.5 and Ted White at 6'4.

It was more around 3 inches between Hodder and Kirzinger in Jason Takes Manhattan diner scene. I am thinking Kane may have only been 6'2 1/2 peak and today more 6'1 1/2 to 6'2 tops.
Anonymous says on 19/May/09
Michael: 6'2
Jason: 6'3
Freddy: 5'10

Those are the heights that I saw (generally) listed for those three. The heights I've read for the actors portraying them are

Hodder: 6'3
Kirzinger: 6'5
Englund: 5'10
Mane: 6'8-6'10
Anonymous says on 28/Mar/09
no, in a commercial, Jason was listed as 6'8"
Michael at 6'3"
and freddy at 5'9"
Alex says on 6/Feb/09
Jason's character is 6'3. Freddy is 5'10 and Myers is 6'0 though you'll guys of different height playing those guys.
Bee says on 6/Feb/09
The act Tyler Mane who played Michael is 6,8 so isa around the same as jason, meaning freddie is a midget compared to them :p
Anonymous says on 6/Feb/09
Btw the actor who played Michael is 6,10 so 6,2 is wrong
mercyme says on 4/Dec/08
on a seed of chucky preview. it's has a growth chart
it says
Jason:6'8"
Michael Myers as 6'2" or somthin
and freddy krugar as 5'9"
Haze says on 2/Nov/08
just watched him in zombie strippers. looked 5'10 ish in movie. and with shoes that makes his listing believable.
Anonymous says on 20/Oct/08
keep in mind that rob is a strong 5'8, so englund at 5'9 makes sense
Alex says on 18/Oct/08
With Rob I wouldn't say more than 5'8 max though. Maybe his posture isn't good or Rob has a footwear advantage. Or he could have shrunk 2 inches as well. I'd say peak is 5'10 and now 5'8-5'9.
RICHARD says on 18/Oct/08
I agree,Alex. Rob didn't look under 5'10 in any of the "Nightmare" films or any other movies in the 80s/90s. He's in his 60s now so he definetly shrunk down to 5'9. His peak height was 5'10 or 5'10.5
Alex says on 16/Oct/08
Englund looked 5'10 back in the 80's.
XYZ says on 25/Aug/08
Might be 175 cm even nowadays. Look at his neck, he isn't standing totally straight. 175 cm sounds like a good estimate to me. Guess he'd be 1 inch taller than Rob, when standing properly.
Lenad says on 24/Aug/08
It looks like he scared the hell out of you and accidently scared himself
toppo says on 24/Jul/08
wow, I'm pretty good at guessing actors heights but you guys got me on this one. I always thought Englund was 5'8' max!
wstat says on 1/Jul/08
oh ok. cool thanks.
wstat says on 28/Jun/08
I actually thought Englund was 5'8. To the Editor: You sure he's 5.9? Is he slouching there with you Rob? If he's 5.9 then i'm surprised but this could just be me.

[Editor Rob: I estimate him around 5ft 9. 5ft 8 with poorer posture I believe.]
Rusty James says on 9/Nov/07
The person who played mike myers, in the original halloween WAS six foot.
mofo says on 8/Nov/07
Don't worry rob I'll save you from his evil clutches!
Alex says on 5/Nov/07
He looked at least around 5'10 in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Maybe his boots gave a bit but surely was at least 5'9-5'9.5
Anonymous says on 31/Oct/07
A few of the guys who played Michael Myers looked well over 6 feet too.
derek says on 30/Oct/07
Rob how tall did he appear to u? I know he seems 5'7.5 in the bottom pic but he's most likely sloutching.... Did he seem a full 5'9?

[Editor Rob: I still thought he had loose posture in the bottom one, more loose than me of course.]
Anonymous says on 30/Oct/07
looks 5/8 =/
Alex says on 30/Oct/07
He looks 5'9 but with Rob he looks more 5'8 but would be taller if stood up straight. Rob, what did you estimate him at?

[Editor Rob: he can look 5ft 8-9, I feel he can squeeze more height from his posture.]
Markus Zorin says on 30/Oct/07
Lol Rob! The guy's got a good sense of humor :)
Looks about your height, maybe a tiny bit shorter in 2nd pic. But can't really see his posture too well.
Johnny C. says on 8/Jun/07
Weird. I was looking up his height because I wanted to do a comic with him fighting Johnny (from Johnny The Homicidal Maniac) and Johnny's 5'9 too.
Alex says on 5/Feb/07
I know the shortest Jason was in part 2 who was 6'0-6'1. After that you had Brooker and CJ Graham who were 6'3 a piece. Kane Hodder who's height is debatable from 6'1.5-6'3 but most believe he is 6'3. Then Ted White who was 6'4. Then Ken at 6'5, maybe even 6'5.5 but his footwear is tricky as it is for Kane too.

Robert Englund is old now, so he's def not as tall as he once was. 5'9-5'10 back then and today could be as short as 5'8 but no lower than that.
S.J says on 28/Dec/06
Alex: the reason why jason is 6,3 is bocuz every jason actor exept Ken Kirzinger and the guy from part 2 is around 6,3 the director of Freddy vs Jason wanted Jason to be very towering thats why they picked ken kirzinger for that role
Alex says on 9/Dec/06
The Jason character they have at 6'3 and Freddy at 5'8 while it appears more of a difference. Ken is 6'5-6'5.5 and they still had the jason character at 6'3.
Editor Rob says on 7/Dec/06
I did meet old Kruger, although in any pic I ever add he might look identical, I think he can actually be 5ft 9...actually, I stupidly was trying to shake his hand and he's like "erm, I've got my glove on you moron".

A right idiot I am ;) That's as bad as the time Marina Sirtis scowled at me for erm, 'accidentally' staring down at her cleavage.
RICHARD says on 5/Nov/06
HE IS DEFINETLY NOT 5'8''. I'M 5'8'' AND HE'S TALLER THAN ME SO HE IS AT LEAST 5'10''.
Alex says on 2/Nov/06
He's no more than 5'9.
Jake says on 2/Aug/06
The 6'3" listing for Jason comes from Kane Hodder. Englund was the only ever Freddy. I think 5'8" - 5'9" is a good guess. I'm a true fan.
TNTinCA says on 26/Jul/05
I have the Freddy vs. Jason DVD and they actually say Freddy is 5'10" and Jason is 6'6". It's also mentioned in the director's commentary. (which is hysterical by the way)
Cycklops says on 8/Jun/05
I'm not sure about that. In the promos for the "Freddy vs. Jason" movies they said Freddy was 5'8". I don't know why they'd make Englund shorter than he really would be...so I'm guessing he's 5'7" or 5'8" tops.
