The Shape Speaks: Jim Winburn on Halloween & 60+ Stunt Films
Legendary Halloween 1978 stuntman Jim Winburn — the man who did Michael Myers’ famous balcony fall — joins Horror Realm 2022 in Pittsburgh for a career-spanning Q&A. From John Carpenter’s set to 70+ films, hear the untold stories behind The Shape’s most iconic moments.
Filmed March 5, 2022 at Horror Realm Convention in Pittsburgh and moderated by Rich Dalzotto, this panel captures one of Jim Winburn’s final convention appearances — he passed away November 19, 2022. Winburn was one of three performers to don the Michael Myers mask in John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978), handling the killer’s most physical scenes, including the unforgettable balcony fall in the climax. Beyond The Shape, he amassed more than 70 stunt credits across The Poseidon Adventure, The Fog, Escape from New York, TRON, and The Fall Guy, and directed three films: Evil Altar, The Death Merchant, and Miami Beach Cops. Halloween fans and horror historians won’t want to miss these stories.
