His portrayal of Brackett, a character that he revisited over an impressive span of 43 years, left a lasting impact on fans of the iconic horror franchise.
Charles Cyphers passed away on Sunday in Tucson, Arizona, following a brief illness, according to his manager, Chris Roe.
In a heartfelt statement, Roe shared his memories of Cyphers, saying: “Charles was an incredibly lovable and sensitive man. He always had the best stories, and you got a full performance while he told you them. He was a close friend and client for over 20 years,” per Variety.
Cyphers’ contributions to the world of film were not limited to the Halloween series. He was a frequent collaborator with legendary writer-director John Carpenter, appearing in five of Carpenter’s projects. These included Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), the 1978 and 1979 telefilms Someone’s Watching Me! and Elvis, The Fog (1980), and Escape From New York (1981).
