Michael Myers

Real Name: Michael Myers
Year of Birth: 1957
Place of Birth: Haddonfield, IL.
Race: Caucasian Sex: Male
Height: 6' 1"(approx)Weight: 190lbs(est)

Current Location: The original movie’s tagline basically says it all; The night HE came home. Well Michael Myers’ hometown is Haddonfield, a small suburb located in Illinois, U.S.A. This is the scary part; this little town is so quiet that it’s only known for it’s famous serial killer! The suburbs are great if you want to raise a family; but if your next door neighbor bears the name Myers, maybe moving to New York’s Bronx is a safer decision.

Reference movies:
Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, Halloween: Resurrection, Halloween (2007)

TRICK OR TREAT!

6 year-old kids usually play with their friends, watch cartoons on t.v. or practice a wide variety of sports. Killing their 17 year-old sister with a kitchen knife is a little...hmmm... shall we say unexpected? Since the "no dessert for you" punishment would’ve been a little light, Michael’s parents just sent him to a mental institute. Is it puberty? Insecurity towards a career choice? Whatever it is, something triggered Michael at age 21; he escaped from the asylum and tried to kill his younger sister. And then his niece. And then his nephew. All in all, Michael wants to kill everyone who is blood-related to him.

Trying to kill people on Halloween night is such a great way to wander around unnoticed. After all, nobody can tell if you are a bloody maniac or just a very tall kid... So we can definitely say that Michael has quite a sense for drama. After all Michael once stole a tombstone in a graveyard, then placed it on the top of a bed, right behind one of his numerous victims. He even stole an empty casket, surrounded it by candles, hoping to "fill up" the casket with his young niece. So Michael doesn’t really just kill for the fun of it. He makes up some very theatrical scenarios too!

Michael Myers is probably the scariest slasher ever seen in a horror movie (but hey...that’s just my opinion). The first thing that comes to mind when you say the name Michael Myers (no, not Mike Myers who played Austin Powers) is is creepy white mask. Most people already know this, but some don’t , so I’ll say it again; Michael’s mask was actaully a "Captain Kirk" Star Trek mask (actually William Shatner). They messed up the hair, painted the mask white and enlarged the holes for the eyes...and Michael’s mask was done! The fact that this face has no expression at all makes it scarier in my opinion. Can you imagine someone stabbing a person over and over and bearing a "plain" face? We’ve seen angry faces over and over, a happy face makes the killer completely crazy; but a face without expression is confusing. This is why Michael is, well, the coolest.

Many different actors played Michael Myers. Some have done a better job than others. Since Michael doesn’t talk, the only way to personify him is by the way he moves around. From what we’ve seen of him, he’s usually quiet, moves very slowly, quite like a cheap robot would. But he sometimes bursts into moments of extreme rage. Our psycho’s apparent peace of mind is not always what it seems.

Michael’s weapon of choice seems to be the classical kitchen knife. A great choice. Light, practical, easy to carry around, the kitchen knife became popular for this alternate use in Psycho (by the famous Mother). But like his sibling Jason Voorhees, Michael used a variety of strange and original weapons for our own amusement, like a gardening fork or even better; a pitchfork.

So, in conclusion, Michael is crazy. The latest Halloween movies tried to explain a little more on the method to his madness but since a controversial "producer’s cut" scrambled the cards, we can say that Michael’s madness is still a mystery to us all. But hey, Michael is mean, he rules the screen and does this all on Halloween. Do you really need more?
