footwear plays a bigger role than usual with big guys, my brother is 6'5" barefoot (310 pounds) but can be over 6'8" with his workboots on (size 16), he said he'd wear lifts if he could find him in his size, he loves being bigger than other people.
but depending on what tyler mane is wearing, its gonna affect his height more so than reguler sized people, my cowboy boots give me around 2.5 inches, but a pair on him is gonna give him close to 4 because when the scale up the whole boot, it gets thicker all over, if he was billed at seven feet though, i cant see him being any shorter than 6'7", although ive never seen him in cowboy boots, many wrestling boots have built in lifts as well (just look at kane)

Tyler Mane was 245lbs. during his wrestling career.And I think he is 6ft 6in barefoot and thats probably the explanation.

Yeah I looked at the pic of him straightened out after I posted that. Oops. I reckon 6,8" is about right. Estimates of 6,10" are clearly off though.

Why did Summer Altice call Vin Diesel 6'4"?? He is barely 6'1" and not even remotely close to being 6'4" even with lifts on. He was 3 - 4 inches shorter than 6'3" Sammuel L Jackson in XXX.

Mane doesn't look over 6,7" in the above pic. Kane is only listed at 6,7.5" and he looks taller next to Mamum on this site.
Some things need to be changed I think.

Its funny how people look different sizes in different movies. Tyler Mane in the devils rejects doesnt look that big, but then in halloween hes gigantic.
And I think Tylers more like 6'9". I mean he used to say he was 6'10" and easily got away with it.

I've compared myself to 5'8" people before and I'm not too far from Tyler Mane.I over tower people that are 5'8" and I'm 6'2" at 17.Maybe Tyler Mane is not that tall or am I just measuring my height wrong?I'd say Tyler is about 6'6".6'8" is a little too extreme.Or it could be the picture.

As I posted before, he ALWAYS claimed 6'10" prior to the Halloween movie. It is well-known that he claimed 6'10" for the X-men movies because they said he wore 4" lifts and was 7'2" in his costume. I think he downplayed his height so he doesn't further upset horror movie purists because they think he is too tall to play Myers due to his extreme height. He wrestled with Kevin Nash when they were young and at their peak heights and they were virtually the same height. I'll bet he was 6'9" peak and .5"-1" shorter than Nash in their prime.

Alex2, Mane has claimed he was 6ft10 before. In an IGN article a few years back he mentioned it twice regarding his role as Sabertooth in X-Men. See my post on April 18, 2007 at the botoom of the page for the link!
He's since referred to himself as 6ft8, but his myspace page had his height at 6ft10 pre Zombie's Halloween, and 6ft8 during the filming to now.
Somehow he mysteriously lost 2 inches? LOL

Alex, maybe Gamma was the same guy as Will, lmao. But if that was the case, Rob would have noticed that since he would have seen the same IP. But maybe it even was the same IP?
A 6-2 Undertaker and a 6-3 1/2 Kane would result in a 5-9 or 5-10 The Rock, a ~6-7 Big Show and so on.

I'd say 6ft8 tops, possibly even 6ft7.
He looked to have at best 2-2.5inches on Ken Foree(6ft5) in Halloween, and this was while wearing slippers to Foree's 1.5in work boots. If Foree was say 6ft6.5 tops in his boots, Mane was around 6ft8.5-6ft9.

Glenn, you know a really creepy early 70's TV show? It was Rod Serling's Night Gallery. What a classic. Viper, are you sure you're not thinking of the Twilight Zone from the 1980's? If it's Hitchcock, then you're referring to the reruns from the 50's/60's. Just watched Psycho last night. Still amazing after all these years.

Creepshow went straight to video. I own it. It has lost the magic of the first and parts of the 2nd. The "Raft" episode in Creepshow 2 WAS the best part. It was actually somewhat scary. I also did like Chief Wooden Head (the first one). Creepshow 1 had SOOO much atmoshere and the music score was downright terryfying. The weakest of the 5 was The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verill (played by King himself).

Glenn, do you remember a movie or tv show, I think it was Hitchcock's tv show in the 80s where there was this cockroach story overtaking this woman in a rural house? I want to know what exactly that was.

i never cared for the second creepshow(i did like the lake one as it reminded me of cryptozoology,the study of unknown animals).and like viper never heard of 3.and i occasionally read fangoria still.i loved the cockroaches segment the best cause of growing up in the city and having a fear of giant roaches.slanged and wrongly termed "waterbugs".waterbugs are something else.swamp critters.american cockroaches and the tropic roaches are the biggest.the thin and or small common apartment ones are german roaches.thank god american ones arent too abundant in apartments.i remember a time when i was 28 years old me and my friend running and screaming like girls from a giant roach coming out of his bathroom.two grown men.or wusses.well,now you just had cockroach 101 class.that was the most disturbing scene as you put it,danimal, in the changeling.but for me,my favorite was the returing ball.oooo that creeped me out! i rarely or never get scared watching horror movies.only the changeling.and in childhood,the overplayed exorcist.im surprised you didnt know house by the cemetary since you know your horror better than me.italian.same company that puts out the fulci movies.and i think maybe argento.actually,cemetary did creep me out.most of the films you mentioned i saw,alot i never heard of,some i heard of but never watched.viper and others,what are your favorites? fulci was grouchy and average or short in height.

Yeah Glenn, American Werewolf in London is awesome as is Creepshow 2! The goo in the lake that eats the high school kids has always been my favorite Creepshow short story.
Danimal since you brought it up, is Creepshow 3 any good?
Also, has anyone else seen Zombie's Halloween yet? Anyone want to contribute their thoughts on the movie and Mane's size being an advantage or disadvantage?

Glenn, have you seen this "Chiller" channel on tv before? Ive seen it on Direct tv satellite. All it shows is horror.Though my major gripe about it is it shows the same movies it seems in a span of 2 weeks. Ive seen both funhouse and the movie Nightmares on it.

Vegas, Ichi was great. Audition was disturbing. I have yet to see Riki-Oh. The Guinea Pig series (all 6 of them) were all Japanese with English subtitles. You can either find them on Ebay or downloadable on Limewire.
Ed, yes, that is Maniac. The lead actor is the King of Special Effects for some of the best horror movies (Tom Savini). Freaks was a classic for sure.
Viper, I need more details on that. From what you described, that scene is not from Nightmares.
I also LOVE all Amicus films from the 1960's and 1970's (especially the anthologies). Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

How about the original Freaks (about the carnival sideshow people from the 1930's), now that's one disturbing movie. Then there's always Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer, another messed up movie?
I agree Vegas Dead Alive was more funny then scary, and Bad Taste is a trip as well! By the way is Maniac the one with the serial killer who props his victims up like mannequins in his NYC apartment?

Yeah, as you can see, I included Maniac in my list of fave horror flicks. I've seen way worse. Guinea Pig 1,2 and 4 were far more disturbing, as was August Underground and August Underground Mordum. I also have Blood Sucking Freaks from 1976. I haven't seen Nightmare (1981). I do own Nightmares (1983). It is an anthology. There is one episode with a young Emilio Estevez and an Arcade Machine that takes over his life and comes to life. It was awesome and another one where a priest falls from grace and a black jeep is sent from hell to terrorize him in the desert.
The most disturbing movie I've seen recently was Man Bites Dog and Uncle Sam.

It's back and forth Viper! Some times he looks massive like an ex-pro wrestler in scenes like the escape from Smith's Grove Sanitarium or with the female leads Laurie, Lynda, and Annie, and then at other times he looks like a lean 6ft4 with the right camera angles and lighting. In the scenes with Ken Foree(6ft5) he looks big but the scale is not as drastic considering their closer height difference.

The setting was good, but Warlock wasn't even half as good as Nick Castle. Scenes like Myers taking forever to walk down the stairwell or the hallways were boring as hell imo! I take your point after spending the last 2 days escaping from a pysch ward, stalking babysitters, digging up a headstone, going on a murder spree, getting a sewing needle in the neck, a knife in the gut, and shot several times would take some of the wind out of his sails, but it still felt like it dragged on and on! Nick Castle gave Myers some energy and even though he was slower and calculating at times, he would move lighting quick when he needed to, as opposed to Warlock who wore huge lifts at 5ft9 to be near 6ft and looked like he was going to topple over as he swayed back and forth up the halls and down the stairs like an old drunk.
BTW have you seen Zombie's Halloween yet Viper?

I thought the whole hospital setting was great in part 2. And who's to say Myers wouldnt be walking slower after a whole days of work he did? It was suppose to be later that night until the very early morning hours when he got burned up.

Viper, Halloween 2 was okay, but Myers played by Dick Warlock walked incredibly slow like a zombie and didn't portray him half as menacing as Nick Castle. Part 3 doesn't really even count as a Halloween film, but as a stand alone flick it wasn't bad. Part 4 could have been good but it was basically a rehash of part 1 with a god awful smiley face mask! Part 5 with the Man in Black breaking out Myer's at the end and the pyschic connection between him and Danielle Harris, WTF!! Part 6, do I need to go there, Rune stones, more man in black, the horrible ending with Myers leaking green goo out of his mask? H20 had a few moments, but was way to Dawson's Creek WB friendly. Then there's the worst of the worst Part 8, Busta Rhymes says it all!

Danimal, I agree we all as humans have a fascination with our own mortalities, and that's why horror films can be fun and cathartic because we face our fears, just like you said. I used to be into super gory movies when I was younger, but as I've gotten older they just don't do it for me. Am I still curious about the new Saw movie coming out or the sequel to Hostel? In plain and simple terms, Yes! But, what's happened the last bunch of times I've watched films like Wolf Creek, Hostel, Saw 3, Devil's Rejects, etc. is I've ended up feeling just all around nasty, like I needed to take a shower! I just can't get into the torture flicks that seem to reflect the new trend of horror films, but at the same time harken back to older films like Last House on the Left and I Spit on Your Grave! For this reason though it was incredibly flawed, I didn't mind a lot of Zombie's Halloween because it wasn't so much about torture. Distubing and brutal yes, but not sadistic for the sake of being sadistic!
BTW, 400 films! That's one hell of a collection! I'm curious what your top ten favorite horror films are?

Ed, btw, I loved all of those classic horror movies you mentioned. I appreciate more a horror film that is intelligent and grips me on a psychological level, however, with that being said, I also love a good suspenseful and gory slasher film, which doesn't have to have a plot. horror movies of all kinds makes us face our own internal fears. That to me is excitement at its best.
BTW, I own at least 400 horror movies. My oldest dating back to 1922's black and white Nosferatu.

I think the character Michael Myers is supposed to be pretty tall, even if the actors who played him weren't always tall. He seems to be taller than everyone he encounters in the films.
I actually loved this remake. It takes some liberties with the original, but I think it was for the best. It gave new life to the Michael Myers character.

After finally seeing the movie I got to say Zombie did a half decent job! It's not the Halloween I know and love, but I appreciate his spin on it as opposed to the crappy sequels they were churning out. As for Mane he did look pretty massive and Kanelike (reminiscent of See No Evil) in certain scenes, but at others he just looked taller and leaner. It went back and forth the whole time. In the hospital he looked like an ex pro wrestler, but with the coveralls and mask on he could appear a lean 6ft3-4 depending on where he was standing and the angle.
Jordan your right the girl who plays Linda(Kristina Klebe) did look quite tall and leggy, 5ft8 sounds right. Still she was absolutely dwarfed by Mane during her death scene! The girls Scout Taylor Compton(Laurie) and Danielle Harris(Annie) are both very petite, around the 5ft-5ft2 mark so they naturally of course looked super tiny next to Mane. It was only next to Ken Foree(Big Joe Grizzly) that Mane did not look as huge because Foree is 6ft4-6ft5.
Viper, I agree Meyers played by Nick Castle and Tony Moran in the first Halloween was only around 5ft11-6ft, but by the time number 4 rolled around they had George Wilbur who was 6ft2, followed by the 6ft2 Don Shanks for number 5, Wilbur again for part 6, and then two different 6ft2 Canadian stunt men for H20 and part 8.

Jordan your right the girl who plays Linda(Kristina Klebe) did look quite tall and leggy, 5ft8 sounds right. Still she was absolutely dwarfed by Mane during her death scene! The girls Scout Taylor Compton(Laurie) and Danielle Harris(Annie) are both very petite, around the 5ft-5ft2 mark so they naturally of course looked super tiny next to Mane. It was only next to Ken Foree(Big Joe Grizzly) that Mane did not look as huge because Foree is 6ft4-6ft5.
Viper, I agree Meyers played by Nick Castle and Tony Moran in the first Halloween was only around 5ft11-6ft, but by the time number 4 rolled around they had George Wilbur who was 6ft2, followed by the 6ft2 Don Shanks for number 5, Wilbur again for part 6, and then two different 6ft2 Canadian stunt men for H20 and part 8.

@LV Butch masters was about 6'8 at the very best... hes 7' billing is exaggerated, as are most of the wrestlers' I know this, as when i saw him he was walking down the ramp, and when he was on the floor he walked past me, i was on the same floor level as him, and im 6'1 barefoot.... he was not more than 7'' more than me to be brutally honest.... and tyler is JUST as tall as this guy, if not taller.... so tyler is at least 6'8 flat.

Yeah it's a pretty huge jump from the 6ft2 Myers of previous installments. The female leads in the new Zombie flick are pretty tiny, so I bet Mane is gonna look like Larry Bid with a mask on next to them!

Danimal, there's a difference between watching a suspenseful horror film like Halloween and a near snuff film like Hostel! Your entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine.
You can take it easy though on the lecturing to me about horror films! As well as making assumptions that I know nothing about them, or that I've barely seen any since I didn't like House of 1000 Corpses or The Devil's Rejects!
I'll agree with you that there's something cathartic about watching a horror movie, but I can do without the torture movies. Classic horror films like: Psycho, Dracula, The Shining, The Excorcist, Jaws, Halloween, The Silence of the Lambs, Manhunter, The Thing, The Fog, An American Werewolf in London, The Omen, Night of the Living Dead, Rosemary's Baby, The Wicker Man, The Birds, etc. all got scares without the use of blatant in your face torture and sadism! Like I said before to each his own, but just because I don't like the current trend of horror movies doesn't make me any less of a fan of the genre!

Zombie has potential for sure! What I just don't get is why every one of his films has to utilize the hellbilly redneck trailer routine? Rejects had its moments, but other than that it had that Last House on the Left, I Spit on your Grave, TCM feel to it, which only makes me feel like I need a shower after watching! Viper you liked Hostel and Saw, well to each his own. I saw a ton of horror movies growing up, and it used to be the more gore the better. But as I got older those movie just don't do it for me anymore, they're just too over the top.

Ive got nothing against Rob's other movies. I just dont see any point in remaking a classic like Halloween, even If its done in his own style. And a 6-8 Michael Myers just makes it worse. Myers should be between 6-0-6-2. Ideally 6-0. Hell, a 6-4 one wouldnt be too bad at this point. But 6-8 is just cartoonish.

WO ED!!! That is YOUR opinion man. I LOVED both House of 1000 Corpses and D.R. The former was an homage to classic horrors like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and other you probably never heard of. The latter was an excellent movie as well, with a kickass ending and soundtrack!! HUGE horror fan here and all I have to say is that Rob Zombie's movies are quite refreshing in a horror genre that has gone stale.

"What's going through Rob Zombie's head?"
Good question, after sitting through the awful House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects I couldn't tell ya! If he does screw this up, I think he'll lose any cred though he might have gained with critics for Devils Rejects.
As for Mane he looks good in pics, but in some of the video spots and trailers he looks like a giant pro wrestler(go figure) dressed up like Michael Myers! Also, what's with the Mankind mask that Mane is wearing in the new trailer? I've become very skeptical of this film and I'm preparing for the worst, but hoping to be pleasantly surprised. So far Zombie seems to have infused his redneck trailer agenda into yet another horror movie, unfortunately this time he's done it with a classic! We'll know in two weeks how bad the damage is.

In some of the most recent pics from the new Halloween, there's a shot of Mane(Michael Myers) being walked through the halls of the sanitarium in chains with armed guards. He's with Danny Trejo(5ft6 actor from the Robert Rodriguez flicks)and another guy I don't know. Anyways, Mane has his head down and is slouching big time, but Trejo's head is still under the line of Mane's shoulders. He absolutely dwarfs Trejo while walking hunched over with his head down! Now I'm not sure, but from the tip of one's shoulders to the top of their head is around 13-14 inches depending on head size I'd guess. If Trejo is 5ft6 and is a good 1-2 inches below his shoulder line and he's not even standing up straight, the 6ft10 listing could very well be true. He claimed it once before, but now says less which I believe is a ploy to calm the masses who were upset by his truly massive.

I'm still not buying 6'8". He just now started saying he was 6'8", yet for years and years, he claimed 6'10". I know its because horror movie purists couldn't stomach a 6'10" Michael Myers, they're having a hard enough time accepting a 6'8" one. We can't judge his height from the one picture posted above. Keep in mind he was always as tall as 6'10" Kevin Nash and taller than his 6'8" stunt double, Troy Brenna.

Still at 6'8 he's the tallest main horror killer I would believe. Actually Richard Moll who was 6'8 too was Big Ben in the movie House but wasn't a major horror character. 2nd would be Ken who played Jason and he was 6'5 1/2 himself.

I agree with Vegas here, Mane can't seem to decide on his own height. He said he was 6'10" of for the role of Sabretooth when he wore 4" lifts to be 7'2". Now, right around the time of the Halloween movie, he says he's 6'8?! He might be trying to convince people he's shorter than he really is because people are freaking out about him being too tall to play Michael Myers. I wouldn't put anything past actors/wrestlers at this point. Its kinda like Rodman, Barkley, and O'neal understating their heights to make their basketball accomplishments more significant. In a side note, for those who believe O'Neal is really 6'11", we'll see as soon as we see him next to Greg Oden. Oden was just measured the the pre-draft camp at 6'11". I'll bet money O'Neal will be taller bu 1"+.

I watched X-men the other day, and Mane has these massive boots on in the movie. I just looked it up, typed in Tyler Mane's lifts and found an old article about the movie. It's an interview with IGN about his role as sabretooth. He mentions he wore 4 inch lift boots at his already "6ft10 height". He claims 6ft10, 270lbs twice in the article. I don't get why now he says 6ft8? In the recent Halloween interviews that's the new height he claims!This is the link alswaiter.codedaemon.com/X/mane3.html

There are also pictures of the Ultimate Bad Guy on that site with the Rock and Vince Vaughn. He was several inches taller than the 6'5" Vince Vaughn. You can see their footwear in the pictures. I think this clearly shows UBG is at least 6'8" and Mane is taller.

Here is an interesting site (Click Here). One picture shows the 6'4" Tim Stack next to The Ultimate Bad Guy. That would make The Ulitmate Bad Guy about 6'8". The picture right next to that shows him with Tyler Mane and Tyler is taller. I'm not sure how we can justify 6'8". I'd say at least 6'9". Plus when he used to wrestler with Kevin Nash they appeared to be the same height and Kevin was no less than 6'9 1/2" in his prime.

Yeah Ed, I looked at the pic again too, and I thought the difference is closer to 7.5 inches as the top of Simac's head will be just a fraction under the bottom of Mane's ear, as the top of Silvio's hair just about makes Mane's ears. And the bottom of the ear is around 7 inches on a guy with a 10 inch head like Mane. So he is surely not less than 6'7 1/2", and could very well be 6'8" if Silvio has bigger footwear. So I think 6'8" barefoot is spot on for Mane, no shorter than 6'7 1/2" but no taller than 6'8 1/2". A huge guy nonetheless. At the end, it does'nt really matter if he is'nt 6'10", 6'8" ain't that short LOL:)

And the bottom of the ear is around 7 inches on a guy with a 10 inch head like Mane. So he is surely not less than 6'7 1/2", and could very well be 6'8" if Silvio has bigger footwear. So I think 6'8" barefoot is spot on for Mane, no shorter than 6'7 1/2" but no taller than 6'8 1/2". A huge guy nonetheless. At the end, it does'nt really matter if he is'nt 6'10", 6'8" ain't that short LOL:)
Cheers,
Arjun

So Man In Black, I'm assuming you're a Halloween fan as opposed to a Johnny Cash fan, or maybe both? Just curious w/your user name, I think it's safe to think it's a Halloween reference. Anyways, 6ft8 seems right and apparently so does Rob now, what are your thoughts on the new Halloween film, and Mane as Myers?

I see what you're saying Arjun, maybe Mane's 6ft8 to simac's 6ft. We also can't tell what kind of shoes they are wearing, perhaps Simac has thicker heeled boots on, he is dressed in what looks like motorcycle gear. Maybe the guy is only 6ft7, I've never met him only seen him in movies in which he looked massive. Is Simac possibly taller than 6ft? You know as I look at the pic again I think you're right. I used to play basketball a lot, and the tallest guy I ever played against was 6ft10, I'm 5ft11.25 and w/shoes anywhere between 6ft0.25-6ft0.75, and the top of my head came to a little above the guys shoulders.

Ed, If that is atleast 9 inches difference, then Tyler's head is over 12 inches long, how is that possible? The bottom of his chin is just over Silvio's ears (3.5" or so). Measure your own head and see if it is ANYWHERE near 12 inches long, let alone over. It will be around 9 - 9.5 inches, 10 inches if you have a big , long head. His head is tilted slightly, but Silvio would still be around 3" taller than his chin if Tyler stood straight.Tyler's head does'nt look much longer than Silvio's, I would say his is around 10 inches or so. 10 - 3 = 7.
The most I would give it is 7.5 inches. No way is that 9" difference. Trust me, I have thought some people were atleast 8-9 inches taller than me, but when I stood on one 6 inch step (which we even measured later to make sure), I was less than an inch shorter. Fairly large differences ALWAYS seems "larger than life" so to speak.

I have to disagree, if you stood a 12"ruler up on Simac's head I think it would be pretty close to the top of Mane's head. I see at least 9 inches difference, that's just imho. Maybe he's not a full 6ft10, but I can't see him any less than 6ft9.

Rob, that pic with Silvio Simac is an anomaly. I honestly think he looks only 7 inches or so taller than Silvio. There is no way that there could be 9 or 10 inches there, that would make Tyler's head height 13 inches or greater. His head looks only 10 - 10.5 inches. Perhaps Silvio is standing on higher ground?

Alex, I agree. 6ft10 is massive, that's almost like having Shaq play MM. I'm a huge Halloween fan, and I'm really looking forward to this movie, but I'm still a little skeptical of Zombie's angle here.He refers to it as a "reimagining," of the original w/ more backstory like a prequel. Now I wasn't a big fan of either House of 1000 Corpses or Devil's Rejects, I thought House was a TCM ripoff, and Reject's had a little too much torture/rape going on. Not really my idea of a scary movie, I prefer more suspense w/ a little blood thrown in. Movies like Hostel and Saw really don't do anything for me. Yet, I still respect Zombie's abilities, he's definitely got talent, and a fresh spin on the franchise is what's in order. But still, some basics need to be kept in order, that even he said were sacred. Like the mask and the coveralls. Apparently MM will run in this movie and talk as well. Add to that he's 6ft10, and well I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Ed, 6'10 for Myers is way too tall. I'm talking many inches too tall. The character is billed at 6'0-6'1 so the actor should be anywhere from 6'0-6'2 really. I do remember there was an actor who played him at 6'4 before. Jason's character was billed at 6'3-6'4 so the actor for him should be 6'3-6'5, and Ken was a good height but if you're 6'5 he could have gotten away with 1 inch heels, not those 2 inch plus boots he wore. Funny at 6'5 you're wearing heels, LOL.

Aint it Cool News just announced Mane as the new Michael Myers in Rob Zombies Halloween remake out next year. A 6ft10 Michael Myers, that seems a little large! I was thinking 6ft3 tops, but Mane is massive. First Malcolm Mcdowell as Dr. Loomis and now Mane as Myers, this is going to be a very different Halloween movie.

For his role on X-Men he wore lifts. Imagine that, 6 feet 10 and needing lifts to hit 7 foot.

I used to work with Tyler as a bouncer in Saskatoon and my sister was his trainer at the local gym. He is all of 6 foot 10. He's a big guy...and a nice guy.

I met the guy at a comic con a few years ago and he stated he was 6'10" and after seeing him on his feet many times, I didn't doubt it. There's no way he's only 6'6" because that would make him just 2 inches taller than my buddy and Mane had several inches on my friend.
