I'm assuming "move like wood through water" means to always be floating, like his movement is so steady and precise there's no shake in his step or tilting. He just continues forward like a log floating on a river. Kinda like how that Morticia Addams actor walked in a very specific way to give off that impression.
yeah he definitely has such a precise movement style, in acting a lot of exercises during training include figuring out how movement relates to different sensations//feelings, like floating, jabbing, or pulling. super interesting
You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you stab a cup, you become the cup. When you stab a bottle, you become the bottle. The art of knifing without knifing.
If you ever have seen a marching band, that's where that comes from. It's called a roll step. You start on your heel and roll the edge of your foot along the ground with each step so when your trying to play an instrument smoothly, so it's not giggling around in your mouth.
Of course Michael Myers would drop a hammer for a knife. He invested all his skill points into the knife tree and gets a significant attack boost while using it
@@PassionYetPeace not as much as you think. He already got a lot of bonuses for that through picking the slasher class. It would be like saying a chef doesn't start with innate points in cooking
i feel like the he doesnt even think about it is the best part and shines a light on to why Michael Myers feels so detached because in the first movie the actor who potrays him is basically just going from a to b not thinking how to be scary just walking over to stab a women the same way he would to get milk from the fridge.
Mychael is only buffed in the 2007-9 movies, otherwise he's got a really normal build, he's strong as hell, but he's not massive by any mean, in the original he's even rather thin.
Actors trying to understand Myer's motivation is the problem. What was described was a man who moves and acts with no agency or understanding of his own intentions, his every motion directed by puppetmaster from behind the scenes, and with no explanation for why. Its like invasion of the bodysnatchers from the second victim's perspective. You never know whether its aliens or demons or drugs, just that there's a human that isn't human and he's inside your house with a knife.
I’ve always thought of it as him having no motivation. Like a force of nature, he just IS and he just does things. There’s no demon, no mental illness, no burning hatred or rage. He just does what he does.
Michael Meyers is a simple evil. There is no rage, no joy, no reason. His only defining traits are his determination and his patience. When he picks a target he'll never let them go.
I kind of desagree, even the first movie has him taking his sister's grave with him and he's mainly attacking girls about the same age as his sister, so there's clearly stuff going on in his head about the killings. Also the fact he displays his victims in dramatic ways also tends to show there's something going on in him, wether it is him liking to decorate stuff or to scare others.
Me: Yeah? Join the freakin club, we’ve all got issues! You ain’t special snowflake! Michael: Hey! I may be an emotionless serial killer, but I did not vote for Trump, ok? I’m a democrat. Leatherface is a republican.
7:23 Also, other actors studying tigers to try and figure out a good walk for Myers is hilarious when you know Nick Castle (the OG Myers), has a mousing cat that he named 'Michael Meowers.' His posts pics and vids on twitter and it's weirdly wholesome watching this cat chase after mice while Castle cheers him on.
Castle needed a translator for regular people to artistic dimwit. He should have said: Myers hears a commanding voice that tells him where he must be, and walks there with the determination of a man with a clear objective. Basically, the director told me to walk there, so I did
"Move like wood through water"; Slow, trudging forward with a force visibly opposing your advancement, but not wavering in stature. Keeping the length of your body as fully upright as you could be, while acknowledging- but shrugging off- the barrier between you and your objective. At least, that's what it is in my interpretation. Portraying a character that has no dialogue is difficult because your intent has to be expressed purely through your physicality.
It has dialogue so it's not the same but it's almost to me like how in Watchmen when you see the moment Walter Kovacs 'died' and there was only Rorschach, even through the Mask and not talking after he finds the Child Killer and is contemplating letting him go or killing him the way he breathes, his movements of pacing back and forth, the pattern on the mask changing before he kills the dude, without saying anything you can tell exactly what's going on in his head just by watching the movements, and that's really what makes some Actors great is when they aren't just reading lines off a script but putting everything into the performance.
The original Halloween series was supposed to be different stories all taking place on Halloween. Michael Myers became so popular that they had to scrap the original plans.
There never was meant to be another film, Halloween 2 happened because the producer demanded a sequel as John did another movie wit another studio, despite their contract stating he needed to make another film for him.
If you take Freddy out of it (cause he's just unbeatable short of movie bullshit), then Myers is probably the hardest of the classic slashers to beat. Not only is he almost as strong physically as Jason, and impossible to kill, but ALSO is actually intelligent. Like scarily intelligent. He's willing to plan for days to try and execute his kills in the most efficient way possible.
Jason becomes even worse in the Freddy vs Jason vs Ash comic when the necronomicon gives Jason full intelligence and goes on to lead an entire Deadite army that even overpowers the military
The first one is honnestly ok, the second one is where it really dropped the ball with hobbo Michael, the gohst mom and horse and showing Michael's face (plus the giant bowie knife looks kinda ridiculous at that point, the thing looks like a short sword). The only thing really bothering in the first movie I'd say is the actor they took for Michael, the kid is way too ugly and looks too much like a psycho as he is, the cute boy they took in the second movie fits child Michael way more (or lets say it's more subtle at least).
The Rob Zombie remake is “so bad it’s funny” the entire town is made of balsa wood, and they have Meyers smash through everything. Michael as a child stalking and murdering his bullies is the most interesting part if you pretend he's not Michael Meyers.
We had Jason crushing skulls in New Blood, while Michael loves stabbing people so much that he stabbed someone with a freaking shotgun in Halloween 4 I love horror movies
The stalking aspect of Michael Myers always seems to be much harder than it looks. Almost everyone agrees Nick Castle was the best at portraying "The Shape" because of how he moved and brought a humanness to the character while still feeling like a force of evil. Others who portrayed MM ranged from either being too robotic and slow to just down right hysterical in their movements.
The reason why their weapon of choice is so dangerous is simply because they are very proficient in use if said item. “Certainly makes a difference once you have a weapon your most familiar with.” ~ King Bradley
I'm amazed that you didn't drop the ultimate Nick Castle film trivia bomb: He went on to direct THE LAST STARFIGHTER!!! And the writer of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK!
I worked on the upcoming Halloween Kills film and I had the opportunity to talk with both James Courtney and Frank Castle and when they talked about Michael's walk he doesn't move his head up and down like a normal walk its very still and fixated on whom hes walking towards so there is little to no movement, much like an animal stalking its prey, which gives it a very unnatural look to it. The movement was first unintentional but it became intentional later on.
So i will share how to do the Michael Meyers walk. Get about 30 yards away. Make some noise so the people notice you. Slow down a bit. Make noise let them "get distance". They look back, ur a bit away. Once they look back forward, take 3 quick leaps. Make some more noise. They look back, look forward, 3 more quick leaps. More noise and wait for the look back, but this one should be a double. Once you get the double look take about 5 large steps. You should be very close. Make some noise.
Imo Gohstface Buck 120 knife is probably more iconic than Myers' knife, mostly because Mychael had a different knife in each movie while the buck knife is the same in every Scream movie
Cannon is Halloween the orginal, Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends. That way Michael and Lori are no longer siblings, because John Carpenter regretted making them brother and sister
@@Jefferu_Nintendomoto I said it COULD be anyone like look at Dead By Daylights version Not at all saying that the movies didn't but it could just be some guy/girl just wanting to and that's what's scary it can be anyone
@@MegaDrayko Yeah, it could be anyone. But "anyone" is usually human, and humans are inherently easy to understand. They have some kind of motive, they can be stopped by earthly obstacles, and at the end of the day can be killed. I don't find anything I could conceivably defeat with a bit of luck to be scary, personally. That isn't to say I'm some badass who welcomes criminals into my home, just that an earthly threat is a lot less intimidating to me than something I'm not equipped to understand. Ghostface is scariest when you don't know where he is (if he's calling you, he's probably already inside your house). However, the terror starts to wane the longer he's on screen. Which can be said for any killer, but one that's as human Ghostface loses it a lot faster than, say, Jason. It's like getting attacked by a bear. Except, y'know, I can fend off Ghostface a lot easier. Personally, I think Freddy (when he's done right and not just for laughs) is the scariest, because of the nature of being in a dream that he controls leaves absolutely nothing set in stone. Just because he's on screen doesn't mean that's where he's coming from, and just because he's brandishing his claws doesn't mean they're what he's gonna kill you with. His niche lends itself best to consistent dread & tension for me, personally. Then again, maybe I'm just burnt out on the slasher genre in general and find more vague, supernatural threats more terrifying. That might be it.
Same, maybe it's because Scream is my favorite Slasher franchise (the first movie being one of my favorite movies of all time) though if we're talking whose the best horror wise, I'd say Freddy would win, Jason and Michael slowly walking at you and being unkillable is spooky, but Freddy getting you as soon as you sleep, being able to create your worst nightmare is a lot scarier if you were to think of them being in real life.
Maybe in terms of the horror of the mask yes but while many people can get a vague recollection of Leatherface's, well... leather face it's constantly changing appearance and overly detailed texture make it much less iconic and harder to recall than the likes of Jason and Michael who's masks are much more consistent and simple. If the three were to approach me I'd run away from Leatherface first as his mask is the most intimidating but in terms of iconability nah, it just doesn't have the same effect.
@@jbrecken ooh. Theres a thought. Maybe im thinking too much into it, but yeah, lecters bite mask is good, but thinking of his actual face as the real mask kinda makes more of an impact. Always carefully controlled, humor, derision, interest etc...the only time you see the real face is when hes taking a baton to your head.
Huge ORIGINAL 1978 HALLOWEEN 🎃 fan here! There is just something about Nick Castle & the we he moved that simply cannot be duplicated. He lumbered, and was frightening!
Well, the character is iconic and it is easy to recognize. Whatever the reason The Shape mannerisms and walk ended up being recognizable and memorable. And it is great that his various interpreters put on the work to maintain the characterization.
I've watched all the Halloween movies and the first one like bajillion times. Now, after being a minor fan of the series for 20+ years, I noticed that the poster of the Halloween (1978) has a Jack-o'-lantern in it next to the knife...
Yeah I don't understand why Rob Zombie's Halloween movie is shit on so much, like the Halloween timelines is a mess already and the Michael Myers character is rife with potential for different interpretations
I believe on the freddy kruger point, it was proven in one of the original movies that he did not actually abuse any kids, the parents just thought he did. A fact that was later retconned in a remake
The original movies he was a child killer who got off on a technicality causing the parents to form a mob to kill him. The remake he was accused of being a pedo and burned without evidence by the parents, only later for the same film to say he was in fact abusing them
I actually like the first Rob Zombie Halloween movie, I watch it as if it was from an alternate universe where Halloween was made by one of those 70s trashy exploitation filmmakers
I liked the last Halloween so much that I managed to convince an employee from the movie theater to tell me when they finished with the poster so I can take it home. All I need now is a frame to hang it on my room because I don't want to damage that mirror image double side poster more that is got beaten on display on the cinema.
The comedian talking about the Sean Connery panther walk. Pretty sure it was Rob Brydon on an episode of Qi, I was thinking about that the moment moving like a tiger.
1:29 It wasn’t actually that they didn’t expect the movie to be that popular, the Halloween franchise was planned to be a series where each movie was centered around a different villain/monster with loose connections to the other movies. The reason the Halloween timeline is so confusing is because Michael Myers was planned to just be a one-off bad guy, but then he became really popular, so they had to start writing him into the other movies. This is also why Halloween 3 was so different from the first 2, was because halloween 3 was originally going to be the 2nd movie in the series, before they decided to stick with Michael Myers instead
The fact the franchise has been rebooted as many times as it has it's hard to tell what the canon was. It was all of them. Then Halloween, Halloween 2, H20 and Resurrection. Then they rebooted it with the Rob Zombie version and now the canon is technically Halloween 1977, Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, you know until those ends and they reboot it again. ... So yeah not confusing at all :P
Official cannon is Halloween 1978, Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends. The others are alternative timelines. Kills and Ends aren’t out yet.
When I was a kid I was really sheltered so when I first heard of Halloween I was desperately confused by the existence of Michael Myers. I thought someone had turned Shrek into a horror movie for the longest time.
Every single time I see the photo they use for John Carpenter it makes him look like a Game Character. and the comedian whos said he panther thing was Rob Brydon
Lmao 0:52 (or 0:53 whatever lol) his voice cracks so hard - "multiple TIMELINES". And btw, for someone thats "such a fan of the series", u were wrong bout it coming out in the 80s, it was 1978
Have you seen the house of 1000 corpses series? Its a great rob zombie series. Dont think hes actually a bad director, he just mabe a bad Halloween movie
Move like wood through water means move slowly, like an oar or plank of wood, or like walking in a swimming pool, or it could just be a bullshit statement and I've seriously over thought it 🤣
I always liked the attempt that was made in the 2000's to make Kane a big slasher villain. They gave him an interesting weapon (a meat hook on a chain) and he did look good as a slasher.

Yeah, it's too hard for some to just go over there like it's "normal". Keep it simple stupid.
Michael's dating profile: tall, dark, quiet, built like a truck and loves spending time with family.
Leatherface: handy, dedicated, willing to try anything, loves family, really into DIY arts and crafts.

These stories really give you insight to how weird the thaught proccess of actors is
Jason always creeped me out the most cause I live 10 minutes away from a town with the same name
Michael Myers is the best Slasher villain imo. To me Michael Myers from Rob Zombie Halloween is probably the most intimidating.
Loomis always said he was pure evil tho, talks about him being that. That he gave up trying to help the boy. Carpenter put that in his own movie.
Nothing is more brutal and terrifying than a chainsaw as a killer's weapon. It's also as a sneaky concept very absurd
Jason and Jed "Leatherface" are my favorite BFF's
The Sean connery moves like a panther observation was Rob brydon, I think on an early episode of QI
Halloween content is what I need.
Anyone remember that bit in Jason X where he twats a cheerleader with another cheerleader trapped in a sleeping bag😂😂😂
Yep. And they were holograms
Yes! I love Jason X, whoever came up with the idea to put him in space really deserves a reward, because it was amazing and hilarious.

I can't get the idea of MM in a shadow wiggling his bum before pouncing on a blond! 😂😂
Castle on set: breaths
Stunt actors: WRITE THAT DOWN!
Move like wood through water, aka rigid but with momentum that is swift that seems to be held back.
Tragic foreshadowing, talking about Sean Connery a couple days before he died. RIP
If there's any Horror Slasher Icon i'd be interested in Rob Zombies take on it is Texas Chainsaw Massacre Leatherface.
@Quinn P I've never seen that movie thanks for the recommendation
Lucky for you Rob Zombie did make a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie :-)
His style is perfect for TCM.
1:29 It wasn’t actually that they didn’t expect the movie to be that popular, the Halloween franchise was planned to be a series where each movie was centered around a different villain/monster with loose connections to the other movies. The reason the Halloween timeline is so confusing is because Michael Myers was planned to just be a one-off bad guy, but then he became really popular, so they had to start writing him into the other movies. This is also why Halloween 3 was so different from the first 2, was because halloween 3 was originally going to be the 2nd movie in the series, before they decided to stick with Michael Myers instead
The comedian you're reffering to was Yahtzee Croshaw in one of his let's plays with Gabe Morton
Reminds me of when Genos is asking Saitama about his strength and he just wings it
The fact the franchise has been rebooted as many times as it has it's hard to tell what the canon was. It was all of them. Then Halloween, Halloween 2, H20 and Resurrection. Then they rebooted it with the Rob Zombie version and now the canon is technically Halloween 1977, Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, you know until those ends and they reboot it again.
...
So yeah not confusing at all :P
Official cannon is Halloween 1978, Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends. The others are alternative timelines. Kills and Ends aren’t out yet.
the only thing thats scarier than michael myers is when you left your mom's umbrella on a bench
I’m starting a fan club for people who only enjoyed Halloween 3
I know he's technically not a slasher but, my favorite horror villain from the 80's has got to be Pinhead.
RIP Sean Connery. He was a good bond and an interesting captain of a submarine.
This could be one of or the last video mention Sean Connery while he was still alive
The glove was a gardening thing originally no? For trimming small hedges?
If you count Season Of The Witch, there's technically 5 timelines.
That one doesn't exist, I don't know what you're talking about.
@@Werewolf914 it does you idiot!
@@hannibalmendess He's being sarcastic.
@@jvjv8093 I was going along with the joke
HAPPY HAPPY HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN! HAPPY HAPPY HALLOWEEN! SILVER SHAMROCK!
When I was a kid I was really sheltered so when I first heard of Halloween I was desperately confused by the existence of Michael Myers. I thought someone had turned Shrek into a horror movie for the longest time.
Every single time I see the photo they use for John Carpenter it makes him look like a Game Character. and
the comedian whos said he panther thing was Rob Brydon
There was another Castle scene in 2018. It was the scene of Micheal in the window and Laurie outside (the first time she sees him in the film)
Hey did you guys know that the original micheal meyers mask was a William Shatner mask painted white?
How crazy he mentions Sean Connery in this video and now he’s dead
This is the first time I saw the beers in the bottom right of the screen
Lmao 0:52 (or 0:53 whatever lol) his voice cracks so hard - "multiple TIMELINES". And btw, for someone thats "such a fan of the series", u were wrong bout it coming out in the 80s, it was 1978
lol nick castle getting asked how dose he get in to character is like that genetically engineered villain asking sytama how he got so strong
That has to hurt rob zombie. You damn well know carpenter is someone he looks up to.
Have you seen the house of 1000 corpses series? Its a great rob zombie series. Dont think hes actually a bad director, he just mabe a bad Halloween movie
I love the Rob Zombie version.
I think Michael loves the Kitchen Knife so much because that's what he used to commit his first murder as a child.
Didn't Rob Zombie only really make the reboot movies because people wouldn't stop asking him to.
Move like wood through water means move slowly, like an oar or plank of wood, or like walking in a swimming pool, or it could just be a bullshit statement and I've seriously over thought it 🤣
I would say Pinhead from Hellraiser is another of the most iconic
Pinhead? You mean the guy that is barely in the movie. Lol
An abused, imprisoned kid Spirals into growing solitude, ant then madness. And then becomes a Force of nature
That's how rob zombie did michael and that's such a dumb cliche I love how john carpenter made Michael kill for no reason and no motive
I always liked the attempt that was made in the 2000's to make Kane a big slasher villain. They gave him an interesting weapon (a meat hook on a chain) and he did look good as a slasher.
One of the best background noise I ever use
Freddy had the best one liners.
Just have an image of all the other Michael actors crouching next to Nick Castle like Miles to Peter in Spider Verse
This video came out only 3 days before he passed away, on Halloween coincidently. Rip
Don't forget, there's technically a timeline for DBD, where Michael and laurie strode were snatched up by the Entity.
David Boreanaz got his role as Angel in Buffy because of the brooding expression on his face while walking his dog.
I wish we could do wiki weekends and wiki wednesdays for like a month or two every year
Didn't Chucky get a reboot recently? A smart-doll..I think he malfunctions and becomes self aware...
I saw archduke Ferdinand last time I was this early
Well, with I N T E N T that's how you portray Michael
THANK YOU!!! For the cat butt wiggle moment
