One thing about Michael is the calmness. The indifference to what’s happening around him, yet the unbelievable awareness he has simultaneously. The guy who can pretty much sneak into any house undetected and brutally murder everyone, smart enough to outsmart fully grown men and woman while being locked away for 40 years (DGG timeline). But also being able to shrug off life threatening blows, undeterred when being caught and confronted by like 30 ppl. YET STILL being able to get up after being beaten (that would have easily killed any other person) and take out those 30 people full strength. Like the ending or not but he is truly an unpredictable character.
He is also fireproof in most timelines yet recent director claims he is not supernatural. It is strange as he made Michael escept a burning building whilst trapped and the rest. That fight could have been a full on fight which would have made Myers look more formiddable. Instead it looked like he was using the speed force to take them out. Worst slow motion I have seen in a film. Disappointing as it could have been really good.
Bruh he only killed 11 people in that scene let’s not over exaggerate. Lastly those townies who beat him had him down, they could of kept going but for plots sake they all literally watched him get up and kill them all 1 by 1 lmfao such a horrible movie. If it wasn’t for plot those townies could of just tied him up when he was knocked out and buried him alive, problem solved!!!!
Let's not forget the house fire. He was in there breathing smoke for what, 6-10 mins until the firefighters got there. Yes he was behind that roll up door, but my uncle has the same door in his basement where he keeps most of his guns. Those doors have like a half inch to an inch gap all the way around, and no door is air tight in a home anyway. After about 30 seconds to a minute anything on Earth would be killed, he just stood there until the fire men got there. People always try to tell me he's just a guy lolol.
george took and crafted Michael into a brutal force Halloween 4 and ofc Halloween 6 "the curse of Michael Myers may he rest in peace for all his achievments he accomplished, god bless from, New Jersey...
Michael very rarely overreacts to situations with huge pressure on him.Myers' calm and emotionless approach in critical situations knocks his opponents out of kalia.But the most important thing is that his emotionlessness helps him cope with danger and go for a break on his enemy.Naturally, Myers was not born with such psychological problems, he came to this behavior because of the great stress he was subjected to from the age of two to six.When the situation is more stressful for a person, he can get psychological trauma and while a person wakes up calm under pressure, he also wakes up to use destructive defense mechanisms to cope with these situations. For example, Michael ignores Loomis when he tries to talk to him, when he asks him questions, hoping that Myers will answer.But Michael knows that if he reacts to the doctor's words, he will be able to manipulate him, and Michael does not need it. Michael is also dominant and manipulative. He always likes to control the situation, people or his enemies. His cold behavior, emotionless, makes people horrified and make them think that he is not a person.After all, a person is so arranged, if he sees a person who behaves strangely or even ominously, then immediately there is fear and not understanding what is happening and questions are created in his head: "Why is he silent when I threaten him with a knife?" Why isn't he scared and running away, because I want to shoot him?"Why is he wearing a mask?" or "Why is she walking so strangely?" "Why is her hair covering her face?" "She looks at me leeringly, why?What does she want?"Why is this man standing outside my door for the third hour?"And Michael knows this, he knows that it is not human behavior that will frighten and make a person scream and arrive in a panic, and this is in the hands of a maniac, because if the victim is in a panic, she cannot think normally and defend herself, which means she can be controlled and killed. Michael is also very patient and this is another plus in his personality, he is mentally tough and can withstand any pressure, unlike an ordinary person. He waits and studies his victim, which gives him a complete picture of who he is hunting and as soon as all the puzzles are collected, Michael can attack and crush his victim, with his cold and emotionless personality.
I think one of the first times Michael broke character was actually the first film when he failed to stab Laurie and instead grazed her arm with the knife. Disregarding plot armor, I’m assuming he became too mentally stimulated and that threw off his senses
@@joshuar3632 Don't worry, the book will describe terrible inhumane acts, both towards children and adults. I'm already writing Chapter 18. Your Carpenter will go crazy if he reads this, he will be shocked and forget how to make music.
Correction to the height thing: While yes Nick Castle (the original shape) was 5’10” and the tallest version of Michael, that being Tyler Mane was 6’7”-6’8”, Mane played Myers in the Rob Zombie timeline, in the 2018 canon timeline Michael is played by James Jude Courtney who is 6’3”.
The scene in Halloween 2018 when the reporter pulled out the mask at the mental hospital backyard and other patients started reacting nervously to it was extremely powerful to the franchise. It suggested that the mask is more than just a mask. Halloween Ends sort of proved it when the kid took Michael's mask and then he went full blown psycho killer
Honestly I thought the opposite it was a very goofy and unrealistic view of mental patients and made the scene feel almost comical as a result. I have known several people in a bad enough state to be housed in a mental hospital or the psychiatric ward of a normal hospital and so have spent a good amount of time in such places over the past 25 years and honestly many of the severe patients (which Smith's Grove would house) are closer to that scene in The Exorcist where Father Karras visits his mother in the hospital but plenty of others can blend in well enough with the average person a good amount of the time where if you didn't know them on a more personal level you would not know the severity of their issues. The scene in H:40/H'18 reminded me of what you'd see in something like New Year's Evil with the patients acting like over the top caricatures (never mind them even knowing what the mask was).
@@FredCracklin very little in Halloween is realistic. The fact that Michael is everything-proof is crazy. But this is the concept of the series and the mask scene works just great in a form of symbolism
I also like this scene a lot but for me the mask is for Michael Meyers what Batman is for Bruce Wayne a very powerful symbol. The fact that crazy guys reacted to the mask for me it meant that the mask was full of energy from what happened in the past and the crazy people could detect it. But also could be that the mask became cursed after the halloween night at 70’s and then crazy guys could detect it.
I always thought Michael didn't run after his pray, because he didn't want to overexert himself. Saving all that energy for the actual kill and rather, stalking his "prey" like a panther from the bushes.
I was quite intrigued by the one scene in Halloween Kills, where the neighborhood fights against him. I always wondered what would happen if people actually teamed up and outnumbered him with brute force, thereby eliminating his most lethal method by killing undetected. Multiple blunt force trauma was applied to most of his upper body, including close range pistol fire, and a direct kick to the face. NONE of that could kill him lol
@@CVGrin there is no evidence to support this. Also didn't the old hobo said he took in people in that sewer cave and killed people? No that was stupid dialogue. Laurie doesn't know that. That's like some stupid supernatural shit that has no place in the franchise
True, at this point the only series that has killers that are still Human is Scream and that's because its just someone else in the costumes every time
@@thebrittaniondragon6183I like the Rob Zombie Halloween because it shows what Michael went through as a kid he was being harassed by his stepdad and his sister was abusive to him
Michael Myers doesn't have Catatonic Schizophrenia. He is possessed by something called "The Shape." It's why he sat still as a boy, and he even mentioned hearing voices that make him hate others. Those voices come from The Shape, which is why he kills. He has a supernatural ability to sense his victims and The Shape guides him as he pursues them. He has no need to chase them because The Shape reassures him he will get them and guides him to infiltrate their homes or take pathways that put him in close proximity with victims. The Shape can infect others, as seen in Halloween Ends.
Where’d you get this info from? The “shape” is just one of his nicknames, the same way he’s been called the boogeyman multiple times. He’s called that because his presence is supposed to be indescribable and mysterious, hence why he’s normally seen lurking in the shadows before he kills someone. Michael isn’t possessed by anything, that’s a theory. The only logical explanation of why he’s the way he is is cause he’s simply evil, he’s the embodiment and physical “shape” of evil itself. That’s what makes Michael Myers unique compared to most horror icons because he remains a mystery and no one knows his true origin or purpose
@@user-vt3vo1yd3v Even in Dead by Daylight, he is referred to as "The Shape" rather than Michael Myers. This reference is referred to the entity dwelling within him. When he's depicted as a simple sweet boy during Halloween, he's perfectly normal. When The Shape possesses him, he turns dark and they describe seeing this darkness in his eyes. In Halloween Ends, The Shape manages to possess another and turns him dark. The father of the boy he accidentally killed leading up to this wanted to reconcile with him. He too described the darkness in his eyes, and that it was no longer the same kid he knew before, but something else. We even get to witness the possession take place when Michael grabs him.
You're right. It is definitely that way with COT Michael (don't know about the others), who is immortal and invulnerable through the Curse of Thorn, which was placed on him as a child. He can't die and can regenerate life threatening wounds (even third degree burns and a thousand bullet wounds (some of them being from shotguns)) as long as the Curse isn't broken, which it only is, once he has made his last sacrifice. He has the powers of a supernatural being (because of the Curse) but he is fully human. And he would be fully human again, once he's free from the Curse.
Man, i wish that there were a horror movie crossover between all of these horror icons, like Michael, Freddy, Jason, Pumpkinhead and others. Just imagine all of them trying to fight for this city that they discovered, to find out, who is stronger and who will be allowed to slaughter that city in the end. Like, there is a fan made video game out there with all of them called Terrordrome, so why not make a movie.
what i always enjoyed was micheals lack of motive, Jason kills because of you intruding on camp crystal lake, Freddy Kills because his vicitms are the descendants of the people who murdered him, etc Micheal is cold, Ruthless, and kills simply because he wants to. theres no avoiding or overcoming him really, no steps you can take to stay out of his way. with him its pure luck and happenstance that you were spared
Myers doesn't run for two reasons: First he'd look rather silly running around in that getup. Second, everything we've seen regarding Myers in nearly every movie in the franchise, across all its iterations, is that his pattern is to set up traps for his main targets and patiently waits for them to enter therein. Once the trap is sprung, even if the hapless victims run away, he doesn't have to run after them because he knows they have few or no other places to run except right where he wants them, and he can afford to take his time strolling calmly after them. Don't read too much into the movies trying to diagnose the character.
Yes, we know what he looks like. We saw him as a child, and can age him up from there. More importantly, his mask was pulled off in the first Halloween, and we get a good look at adult Michael. He looked like every other serial killer - a normal human being. That is always scarier than any mask. The fact that anyone could be a cold blooded killer, and you would never know just by looking at them.
I think initially that's what the idea was. To make a serial killer out of anyone, even a 10 year old boy.. but then the story and timeline just keeps getting dragged out and more complicated
I disagreed that making him really tall added to the fear. That just made him a big hulking brute, like Jason, which I don't think he is. He should remain 5"10 to 6". Because I've always preferred him to be average-ish sized. I think he's definitely a supernatural being. In the first film, he already displays impossible strength and survived injuries that definitely should have killed him. In the second, he wrote "Samhein" (not sure if that's spelt right) on the wall in blood, which hints towards demon possession. His unkillability and impossible strength increases increases with time. Although catatonic schizophrenia night work as an explanation, my head canon is that it's because he's possessed and the demon sort of remote controls him a little awkwardly. But the real reason is most likely because it's more foreboding and less human.
YES! Exactly what I said first the RZ halloweens ARE TRASH, but having a normal looking guy doing superhuman things is MUCH scarier, then a 7 foot tall doofus who you expect to do that. Also Mane's Myers SUCKED! He is actually the weakest Myers, he can be taken out with a few shots.
Best how? Movies, popularity, skill? That’s def an opinion. If you like him better that’s cool but Jason is arguably a better killer skill wise. He’s more creative and I never seen Mike shoot an arrow at a person on a moving speed boat 100+ yards out and get a headshot. He can sneak just as good as Mike, sets traps better and positions bodies just as good if not better. Mike doesn’t do projectiles either like throwing shit with deadly accuracy. Mike may be first in the unstoppable masked killer department (unless you count leather who predates him but he ain’t unstoppable) but better is arguable.
I think Michael might be deformed in a way kinda like Jason. I like the way he looked after he was burnt in Halloween kills. It makes him look evil, broken and terrifying. That’s probably the best depiction of what Michael Myers looks like.
@@seanburton6904I like the Rob Zombie Halloween because it shows what he was like as a kid his stepdad was harassing him and his sister treated him like crap
@@nealsmall9316 bro they show what he looks like as an Oldman as well. I just forgot which movie it was🤦♂️. Nonetheless he looks like a regular old man
The reason Michael doesn’t run isn’t because he is catatonic, it’s because he knows that when his prey is in complete fear, he has the upper hand, and every time that Michael is about to kill someone and they don’t beg to be spared but they tell him to do it, he tilts his head which causes his brain to scrabble as to why they aren’t begging for their life. Another reason why Michael always tilts his head when he doesn’t understand is because he never really went to school, he killed his sister at 6, was stuck inside of a sanitarium for 15 years, escaped at 21, and just killed and killed and killed, he never learned anything serious about survival. Instead all he did was train himself to be more efficient and brutal. Also another reason is that he was locked away at 6 years old. At around 6 years old you become very impressionable. Since he never truly went school, the only things he knows how to do is kill, stalk, terrorize, and play with his food / chase them around until he kills them, just like cat and mouse which is often used as a saying in kindergarten through 2nd grade.
What always gave me goosebumps was how they cast the girl who played Jamie and she looked EXACTLY like the kid who played young Michael in the original
You see Myers' face in the original. Also, the scene where Myers is sitting at the window isn't a deleted scene. It was added to the TV version to tie it to Halloween 2.
I've always been curious that when he's driving what's he thinking when he's waiting at a red light? Because he knows getting pulled over would go against his interests.
Unlike Jason where you can see a being filled with rage who is hyper focused on what he does, Michael may as well be a machine. He has nothing to gauge how he feels, or what he is thinking. Even Jason will eventually react to pain if you hurt him enough. Michael may as well not even register what pain even is, only aware of his physical body being in danger. And that I feel is why it makes him far scarier.
Yes, he revealed his face in H1. Yes, he IS supernatural. Anyone trying to say otherwise is wrong. Whether he's cursed by Thorn or Samhain or whatever, there's a supernatural power driving him. No one has ever referred to him as The Shape. He's only been credited as that in a couple of the movies. His mask has no power. He's either a possessed human or a hard to kill old man. All of this can be confusing given the half-dozen timelines this franchise has been fractured into at this point.
Thorn was really the only explanation to Michaels immortality/supernatural nature. But i have another theory. what if the thing making him supernatural is his status as the Boogeyman, since kids fear him and that gives him power. In halloween ends they comfortably assumed he was dead, as most people (besides Laurie) weren’t fearful of him anymore.
As said in Halloween Ends, he is an 8 year old boy in a body of a man and a mind of an animal. He is a scared animal, ostracised from society and seeing EVERYONE around except for the smallest of children as an enemy and a potential threat. Which is why he empathises with Cory, who is also an outcast, and tries to make a protege out of him, before Cory gets cocky and takes his mask.
1- at no point have i ever thought he had schizophrenia. 2- i already sympathize with him 3- sociopathy and schizophrenia and psychopathy are all different things, Michael clearly has emotion and acts as such. 4- again sociopaths have empathy 5- but hey other than that i liked the video and it was refreshing to see a new perspective on Michael
@@d-fense420 yeah I saw that and I took it upon myself to see what that was and it doesn’t exist. Catatonia and schizophrenia can go hand in hand a lot but ‘catatonic schizophrenia’ doesn’t exist. At least it doesn’t with updates in research and advancements in the psychological field
His superhuman strength can be explained that the threshold and pain receptors to his muscles are numbed and anthropied Powerlifters learn to do this and there's people are genetically born with this turned off can excerts inhuman strength without even weight lifting, Samoans are known to be incredibly strong even before they lift any weights His healing factor also plays into this since his threshold receptors are tuned off his metabolism would be inhumanly fast ...I do know he does eat and drink based on the comics and novels but since his body natural has a fast metabolism he doesn't need to eat much There was a man who survived a train steel rod from his eye up to brain in the 1800s thou he was mentally challenged and his motor functions were bad and he lived another ten years after
@@Chuck_EL He doesn’t have a healing factor, that isn’t canon anymore. If he did have a healing factor he wouldn’t need to be treated from his wounds from 1978 in the h40 timeline and his wounds from 2018/Kills would have healed automatically, hell his injured eye and neck wound from 78 isn’t even fully healed
@@tayc9542 Canon isn't just whatever movie is the newest, the Blumhouse timeline is its' own separate thing and even then no mention was made of hospitalization for wounds after the '78 spree. Scarring means the wound has healed, just not cleanly. If he didn't have some sort of heightened ability to heal (and overall durability) he would have been dead after the events of the 2018 movie never mind Kills.
So, there is supposed lore that Michael is actually possessed by a demon and is why he has super human abilities. So i say, if he has the supernatural stuff, someone else could and counter him. Just like that ESPer girl user in Friday the 13th.
I always thought Michael Myers had C.I.P.A because his ability to handle damage but then I took that theory out because you hear him grunt and react to pain. Like getting stabbed with the knitting needle.
Psychopathy doesn’t just affect how you treat others or feel for others… but it also affects your neurological and need or care about your physical pain, it’s a mental illness but that doesn’t mean it can’t destroy your brain.
He's a bit of both.Hes supernatural in terms of his strength and durability but he's human in the since that he still needs to drink eat and sleep like a normal human.Also,the Halloween ends novel explains that his wounds he got in 2018 never healed and got infected so he got weaker.
@@Jason_VoorheessssI like the Rob Zombie Halloween because it shows what he went through as a kid his stepdad was harassing him his sister didn't care about him
Come on, are you saying that for shock value because that’s down right ludacris 😂 How did Halloween scare you more then the Exorcist? Next to Jaws for the time, Exorcist was and still is considered one of the scariest movies ever made.
Because had no idea he was immortal. Plus soundtrack was nuts. Saw Exorcist in theater as a kid and ran all the way home. Something nuts about “The Shape”
@@jamespope7669 Pal, take yourself out of the equation for a min. Sure the blasphemous aspect part of it but the vast majority, especially those who grew up in the 70’s, would disagree with you. People ran out of the theaters. There was nothing like it prior. I personally didn’t find it scary, no movie is ever really scary for me but to say it didn’t scare people for the time when no movie before it was ever like it, is just silly. If you pit Exoricist against Halloween for the ‘most scary’ award between the two, Exorcist would win more often than not. Cinematically it is. Halloween is just more popular or more pop culturally iconic.
Supposedly in kills his body was destroyed,but he was insisting to try to put his mask on while Laurie was trying to take it off of him! Its like he needed his mask to have the strength to be able to survive perhaps! I believe that michael draw his power somehow from the mask since we see the producers insisting to show us in the final movie.This mask draws power from the spirits,and the ppl he is killing to be able to be imortal while regaining his strength as well! The weirdest part was why to have Laurie keep his mask,the one thing that would be a reminder of her worst enemy and boogeyman! If the mask won't be destroyed michael will surely come back to haunt us all really soon once more im afraid! 😅
He is literally a shark among men. I've always appreciated his body language. The slow calculated rage driven movements--- I do feel that there is supernatural force behind his drive as well, I never fully bought the mental illness aspect. "Pure evil" as Loomis would say. It may have seemed like mental illness, but it wasn't. In hindsight the cult of thorn plot unraveling wasn't the greatest way to explain everything, but it's technically cannon, so all the reboots seem off, including the newest trilogy. It was mediocre at best, and the ending was terrible. The last film was pure lazy writing.
He imitates the behavior of the boyfriend in the beginning of the first movie. Judith’s boyfriend went up the stairs, did something, then went out the front door. Michael goes upstairs, looks at the ruffled bedsheets, can’t understand what happened to his sister, killed her, then went down the stairs and out the door like the boy did. You’re correct he can’t understand sex or intimacy and probably why he wore the bedsheet after killing Bob in the first movie. He correlates the bed sheet he saw before killing his sister with something he doesn’t understand
My niece is terrified of my Michael Myers mask. It started after her older sister put it on and told her she was going to eat her and chased her around the house. I have it on a plastic head on top of my fridge but I put it away when she comes over lol
Carpenters Myers was terrifying because he was a real person. He was some un-killable demon. Most of the sequels make him out to be supernatural. Another Jason.
To be fair...it is very hard to breath under that mask. I once had to run with a movie accurate Michael Myers Cosplay and got so little air in that mask that I had to pull it off immidiatly. It kinda felt like having a plastic bag over the head with a little bit of air inside, I inhaled the mask more than the air that I tried to breathe... :D I don't know how it feels like to breathe with a plastic bag over the head, but I think it was almost the same thing...😅
In Halloween ends Michael was basically raising a second Michael which could be counted as raising a child but in a very bad way so you never know 🤷♂️
In death battle it was stated that decapitation is a sure way to kill him since In every Halloween movie Micheal avoid being decapitated while Jason has his head obliterated and dismembered run over and drowned While Micheal has been shot and blown up but it seems he avoid being blown up
Jason's not immune to decapitation. He's been decapitated in Jason Goes to Hell. While Michael hasn't shown evidence of surviving decapitation, he has taken bullets to the brain and still kept going.
Michael Myers is such an iconic horror slasher and a pure force of nature that is seemingly unstoppable. Going off his seemingly decent list of unknown mental disorders, i theorize that that Michael also suffers from a rare physical disorder known as Congenital Insensitivity to Pain With Anhidrosis or CIPA. Anyone who is diagnosed with CIPA is in short...immune to feel pain. Their nervous system makes it impossible for the person with the disorder to feel any sort of physical pain and cannot register pain. The reason i support this is simply due to the fact of how much physical damage Michael endured throughout the series and continued to shrug it off and keep pushing forward without even so much as a grunt of pain. CIPA has a draw back in most cases as a person who suffers from it wouldn't actually know when they're injured and wouldn't know when they needed medical attention. But as we see with Michael, he doesn't care about it either way. He will simply continue to push on...this could play into support of the Cationic Schizophrenia theory as well where he doesn't register physical pain and does not seek treatment from others.
You need to read the novelizations. Myers definitely has an interest in sex. It’s even a theory that Annie was his true victim and Laurie was a leftover.
Catatonic schizophrenics move a lot slower than meyers they take a long time to speak; however, they speak very directly and do not add any fluff to a conversation. They may take a while to speak but they give definitive answers. Catatonic people do not move or speak. Catatonic schizophrenics can speak and move but they are not always violent like this. The scary thing about Michael is his demeanor and the fact that he has several mental illnesses with symptoms of one disorder contradicting symptoms of another disorder. It is a perfect storm of psychopathic rage
His mask, like other slasher bad guys, is so any physical actor can play him. Want to know how to kill him? There's only one way... kill the fans' desire to have him return in film. And he's a slasher villain evil of the Micheal Myers type... no real mental condition covers his behavior. That's part of what makes him horrible. Decades ago, our circle of Halloween fans discussed it... Michael Myers can short-range teleport nearly anywhere he can physically walk to as soon as nobody can see him to a place nobody is observing. He has been seen running only once, and that was his escape from the "nuthouse" he escaped from in the first movie as a brief blur of action. He's also usually about typically madman fiction level strong until the plot needs him to be stronger for the terror factor... then he's as strong as he needs to be. This is typical horror movie bad guy super strength. They had to make him supernatural... because even the lowest educated horror fan ever would not buy even the most mind-altered super strong madman could take and recover from the kind of punishment he takes.
I don’t think there’s any explanation to Michael. He’s evil, that’s why. He doesn’t chase because he’s always there he will get them, you can’t stop him. And he is supernatural. Dude takes bullets like they’re nothing and feels no pain
Michael ''The Shape'' Myers works best when you can see him as a literal anybody with a mask honestly. Sure the supernatural unkillable monster story is fun. But Michael works best as a mortal. And i like that they sort of went with that in the new trilogy. I mean, he is an extreme. But he isn't impossible. I think Halloween Kills shows some of the absolute best of Michael. You see consistansy. After losing his fingers he bandages his own hand. He does actually take some care of himself. If he is Evil or not... I mean, yeah he is evil as far as it can be defined. But not doubt it stems from a mental illness of some sort. But i think it's mostly a disconect in ways. I don't think he sees himself as a villain. I think he simply doesn't feel anything either way for anyone. I think in his head he is the only one witht the rest of the world being backround noise with no value. Again, in Kills we see this playfull nature to him when he keeps planting knife after knife after knife into this one dude. It almost seems to fascinate him. Like a kid making magic potions at the dinner table. He just doesn't have any concept of it being wrong. I think the same goes for how he doesn't run. I think it's sort of like a cat. Cats are evil bastards. They will play with small critters, torture them and then kill them and leave them. Cats kill for fun. I think that's sort of what Michael does when he walks after his victims. He has fun. And his sense of pain. In the first film we see him activly feel pain as he goes down to very normal human things. Stabbed in the neck or eye makes him go down. He feels pain. But i think it's very possible after Dr. Loomis shot him in the first film, it gave him some kind of nerve damage. Because Michael was shot up bad in that film. Or Maybe Michael sort of just starts to ignore the pain. The Beating he takes in Kills is brutal as hell. But it's pute will that pushes him to go up. I think at that point he is genuinly starting to feel some anger. For the first time he has to fight to stay alive. And it does actually hurt him badly. As we see in Halloween Ends, he starts out as a cripple. Can't even kill one guy. Can hardly defend himself. But he finds motivation when he meets that other guy. Wich i think was mainly just a means to and end. Alltough, in Ends it also seems to sugest that Michael feeds of that dude's energy. I really think it's left open for us to decide. Because Michael is still rather weak at the end of the film when Lorie finaly gets to destroy him. The idea of Michael is immortal. But Michael himself was mortal. The way they disposed of him in the end, is more so symbolic. They killed him. But they also destroyed him. I think Michael can be what ever you want him to be. To me Michael is just a guy. A guy that puts no value to human life beyond the joy of taking it. He is sadistic because he simply can't conect with anyone. That makes him far more scary that any other slasher icon. Because he is so simple yet undefined. Jason can be understood rather easily. Freddy is a simple guy really. He is the monster he looks like. Ghostface is a bunch of edgy messed up teens. Leatherface is a retard with multiple personality disorders who's been raised to kill. Michael... He is undefined. But he is a human.
There is a scene in Halloween 6 after the operating room massacre. Michael in chasing Tommy, Kara and a doctor in a tunnel. Michael looks like he is either running or walking faster then he ever did in any film.
I wish they gave him a clear motive. “Killing because you want to kill” isn’t a motive, it’s a verbiage. I liked how they tried to make it about the factory with the masks turning him evil.
When ever the past Halloween Films gave him a motive from brother vs sister, the cult of thorn, he needs to wipe out his entire blood line, and the White Horse it hurt the character. Myers was never connected to the shamrock factory and that story line had nothing to do with Myers, in that movie Myers is shown as a movie character that we see on tv.
@@Jason_Voorheessss As said in Halloween Ends, he is an 8 year old boy in a body of a man and a mind of an animal. He is a scared animal, ostracised from society and seeing EVERYONE around except for the smallest of children as an enemy and a potential threat. Which is why he empathises with Cory, who is also an outcast, and tries to make a protege out of him, before Cory gets cocky and takes his mask.
If you pause the first one at just the right time on the escape from the asylum you can see half of Mike's face it is so quick that you can miss it 3000 views unless you are actually looking for it also you see Mike run so you can't see his face properly in the same scene
There’s a massive difference between Michael and the other slashers they all have ulterior motives but Michael doesn’t that’s something else that makes him more popular than the other plus Michael is The King Of The Killers
Can you please stop with the theory if a character is or is not capable of reproducing on the videos? It's juvenile while the topic takes away from your videos and creativity rather than add a level of interest. It is completely pointless for many characters. Like your pushing agenda on your audience. I, like many people don't care about if a person can reproduce or not or who they see in the bedroom or what is done in the bedroom. Only perverted creepy weirdos care about such topics.
I thought the first one was ok, it would of been way better if they showed his entire time at the asylum and have the movie end with him stealing Sam's Loomis car, but rob zombies part 2 was just awful.
I'd like to think that basically Michael Myers has no mental illnesses and is completely aware of himself and others at all times. He chose not to speak a single word for 40 years. He simply illustrates the fact that everyone is capable of simply making the choice to be evil. Michael has simply gained the will to be pure evil, not speak a single word and simply keep killing.
Pros for Leatherface: he's big + his chainsaw = long reach But....'fraid Michael would still win. Pros for Michael: Michael is supernatural while LF is a human being; Michael is wicked smart especially compared to LF who is basically his family's attack dog
Depends which Leatherface. Thomas Brown Hewitt from the remakes def stands a better chance as he’s much more brutal bigger and faster, built like an NFL linebacker. Plus he has knowledge on anatomy being a butcher. Jedidiah Bubba Sawyer the OG Leatherface, tho predating Michael, would lose most times BUT Netflix’s version of Jed was also a powerhouse that snapped a man’s arm like a twig. It really depends on the versions. 6/7 out of 10xs, maybe, goes to Mike. But Mike has been taken out by some wack shit from far weaker opponents too tho and a chainsaw in Leathers hands is different than in anyone else’s. Kitchen knife ain’t holding up against a chainsaw for very long if at all realistically and it’s got reach. A chic backed Mike up with a chainsaw in Resurrection, imagine a 6’5 300lbs butcher cannibal. Different ball game.
In the novelized version it alludes to the Myers men are cursed to be possessed by the spirit of a distant relative that murdered a couple on All Hallows eve. This person was in turn burned at the stake with a curse on his lips
Michael was also perverted in the first Halloween novel. The scenes where he's staring at women through windows, he's standing "at attention". Hence, the heavy breathing.
@@matthewbennett1972 Spot on analysis. John Carpenters original black-and-white student film is called "Captain Voyeur" and it is about a pervert who wears a mask, and stares at couples through windows while breathing heavy.
Michael Myers’s can run though, he’s been shown to run faster than a human can perceive in ever timeline. The original Halloween had him disappearing while Laurie was still looking at him. He doesn’t run if front of his victims.
Not Carpenters Michael. It was hinted in Ends that he’s a vessel for Evil. Pure Evil. Carpenters original intention was that Michael was like an evil wind both human and supernatural. The word demon originally was never used. That’s in the later sequels 4-6, especially 6, with Thorn. OG Mike and the new timeline, he’s possessed by an evil spirit basically. His body was falling apart in Ends after the events in Kills which is why he went into hiding in the sewers. The body or vessel was weak and broken down past repair or functionality. The more he kills he transcends you can clearly see that when Mike finally gets a kill in the sewer after being there so long hunched over- he starts shaking and almost powering up. The evils vessel (Michael) was dying so that’s why Corey snapped and was half possessed by the evil as well because he was gearing up to be its next host. Part 6 is basically almost the same premise with the Curse of Thorn, the demon correlating with Samhain. To spare a village from this evil spirit of Samhain or demon, the villagers chose one person for it to possess like a sacrifice inflicting him or her with the Curse of Thorn. Mike was the latest host to the Curse. Tommy claims the curse relates to a demon in his explaination of Thorn at the computer. I mean it’s a play on words, I suppose on wether this evil spirit or ‘pure evil’ is demonic but the word demon is never used by Carpenter. Pure Evil isn’t necessarily a demon but it can be I guess. There’s many forms of evil. Could be the psychosis that’s in us all which is def the vibe the Zombie Halloween movies take. Traditionally, possession is done by a demon, but not always. But your traditional biblical demon is not what Carpenter had in mind for his original creation.
@@KingKahn85 In my opinion I don’t think Michael was possessed by evil. He was born pure evil. I don’t think it has nothing to do with spirits or anything in my opinion
@@tayc9542 the new movies purposely left it ambiguous for this very reason. For fans to speculate but if you watch the films there’s def more of a supernatural under tone than not. I already tocuhed upon the fact that his ‘pure evil’ could also be his very psychosis, the evil inside all of us. But there is def more evidence of supernatural occurances throughout the franchise. Rob Zombies version is more the version your implying where he was born kinda fucked up with a fucked up upbringing and his psychosis is the pure evil that everyone is capable of, (especially after being institutionalized for so long). Again like I mentioned. But that’s your opinion. But Carpenter himself is quoted in saying: “Michael Myers is not a character. He is a force of nature. He’s not a person. He’s part supernatural, and part human. He’s like the wind, an evil wind.” He says he’s both human and supernatural in his very own quote, the man who created him. I don’t think the original version of Michael from ‘78 was born pure evil because prior to him murdering Judith at 6 years old he was a seemingly normal kid with normal parents and a normal household. You can see them when they pull his mask off his face as a boy and say ‘Michael?’ In disbelief. Normal folks. One night on Halloween he snapped and became the Shape. The shape is the name of the pure evil inside of Michael. They are synonymous. Was the evil always there, maybe. Or was the evil somehow introduced and found it’s way, possibly. Corey seemingly took the same mannerisms as Michael/Shape after he grabbed him In Ends, like it was a transference of evil. If Michael was born an evil fuck then things prior wouldn’t transpire the way it did. It hits home because a normal kid seemingly snapped, out of nowhere and killed his sister. it would be Rob Zombies from the get go otherwise or it would be more like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer if he was born always an evil kid.
@@KingKahn85 I think the evil was always inside him even prior to Judith’s murder. I think it didn’t fully get released until October 31st 1963 you know. I think it was slowly progressing. Rob Zombie’s is different because he made Michael like a real life serial killer. Showing signs and everything but the original didn’t show anything so you wouldn’t think he would be capable of growing up and become a serial killer unlike the remake. Yes John Carpenter said Michael was part human and part supernatural but when he was talking about how Rbz ruined the character he said “Michael is supposed to be almost supernatural. Before the other sequels came out he confirmed for Halloween 1 and 2 that Michael was human but he had to change his statement multiple times because of the sequels. The series took a turn after 1 and 2 sense he really didn’t have control anymore. But the 2018 timeline brought Michael back to his original roots and brought back the mystique. He is just pure evil, kills for no reason and etc. no explanation on why he is the way he is. I see where you coming from with the supernatural aspect through this timeline but at the end of the day it’s just speculation like you said even tho David Gordon Green debunked all that supernatural bs with 2018 tbh. But Ends left us with more questions then answers
The mortal aspect of Michael Myers doesn't add up as in Halloween IV, the evil seemed to jump into his niece as she worse a similar clown costume he once wore as a child.
That’s make absolutely no sense, Resurrection explained that. How you feel doesn’t change actually what happened. I didn’t like how he dies in Ends but by it doesn’t change anything.
Correction. This is his 2nd time dying. He officially died in Ends and depending on the version, Theatrical or Unrated, he was either stabbed by Laurie or was shot to death in Rob Zombies Halloween 2. So two times, in 2 different timelines.
I agree though, H20 should’ve been his death too. He just made too much money so the Akkads and co. came up with his atrocious paramedic retcon. Probably the worst back peddle in all of horror. H20 would’ve ended the character perfectly for awhile.
I think Michael runs only one time in Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007) where he runs to Laurie and they fall of the balcony at the ending scene. 13:00 in this scene
You see his face a lot in the movies, his parent's unmask him in the beginning, you get a good long look, you see him in that deleted scene sitting in the seat, you see Jamie Lee Curtis unmask him in the end of the first movie, you see him lot's in the Rob Zombie movie too, I haven't seen them all though so suspect more in the others.
He displays very acute awareness and ability to premeditate for very long periods of time. He's not a Sociopath, he has psychopathy with some sociopathic tendencies.
Lastly, perhaps studios refusing to kill Michael is driven by more than money. Maybe the writers are subconsciously believing a fictitious character’s immortality? Self imposing the entire thing? Thanks for this video. Made me think
This is why a crossover of HellRaiser and Halloween needs to happen. Michael died in End and it’s the perfect time to now make a Michael v Pinhead movie
Michael Myers isn’t a human actually. This is admitted. - “Carpenter explains, making him a flexible and enduring icon who can never be truly killed off.” They tried to explain this for years and years to the viewer. Halloween 4 “he’s not a man. That died years ago.” Yet, the viewer doesn’t realize it’s just like Jason who is the undead
One thing about Michael is the calmness. The indifference to what’s happening around him, yet the unbelievable awareness he has simultaneously. The guy who can pretty much sneak into any house undetected and brutally murder everyone, smart enough to outsmart fully grown men and woman while being locked away for 40 years (DGG timeline). But also being able to shrug off life threatening blows, undeterred when being caught and confronted by like 30 ppl. YET STILL being able to get up after being beaten (that would have easily killed any other person) and take out those 30 people full strength. Like the ending or not but he is truly an unpredictable character.
Facts!!!!
He is also fireproof in most timelines yet recent director claims he is not supernatural. It is strange as he made Michael escept a burning building whilst trapped and the rest. That fight could have been a full on fight which would have made Myers look more formiddable. Instead it looked like he was using the speed force to take them out. Worst slow motion I have seen in a film. Disappointing as it could have been really good.
Bruh he only killed 11 people in that scene let’s not over exaggerate. Lastly those townies who beat him had him down, they could of kept going but for plots sake they all literally watched him get up and kill them all 1 by 1 lmfao such a horrible movie. If it wasn’t for plot those townies could of just tied him up when he was knocked out and buried him alive, problem solved!!!!
Let's not forget the house fire. He was in there breathing smoke for what, 6-10 mins until the firefighters got there. Yes he was behind that roll up door, but my uncle has the same door in his basement where he keeps most of his guns. Those doors have like a half inch to an inch gap all the way around, and no door is air tight in a home anyway. After about 30 seconds to a minute anything on Earth would be killed, he just stood there until the fire men got there. People always try to tell me he's just a guy lolol.

Michael very rarely overreacts to situations with huge pressure on him.Myers' calm and emotionless approach in critical situations knocks his opponents out of kalia.But the most important thing is that his emotionlessness helps him cope with danger and go for a break on his enemy.Naturally, Myers was not born with such psychological problems, he came to this behavior because of the great stress he was subjected to from the age of two to six.When the situation is more stressful for a person, he can get psychological trauma and while a person wakes up calm under pressure, he also wakes up to use destructive defense mechanisms to cope with these situations.
For example, Michael ignores Loomis when he tries to talk to him, when he asks him questions, hoping that Myers will answer.But Michael knows that if he reacts to the doctor's words, he will be able to manipulate him, and Michael does not need it.
Michael is also dominant and manipulative. He always likes to control the situation, people or his enemies. His cold behavior, emotionless, makes people horrified and make them think that he is not a person.After all, a person is so arranged, if he sees a person who behaves strangely or even ominously, then immediately there is fear and not understanding what is happening and questions are created in his head: "Why is he silent when I threaten him with a knife?" Why isn't he scared and running away, because I want to shoot him?"Why is he wearing a mask?" or "Why is she walking so strangely?" "Why is her hair covering her face?" "She looks at me leeringly, why?What does she want?"Why is this man standing outside my door for the third hour?"And Michael knows this, he knows that it is not human behavior that will frighten and make a person scream and arrive in a panic, and this is in the hands of a maniac, because if the victim is in a panic, she cannot think normally and defend herself, which means she can be controlled and killed.
Michael is also very patient and this is another plus in his personality, he is mentally tough and can withstand any pressure, unlike an ordinary person. He waits and studies his victim, which gives him a complete picture of who he is hunting and as soon as all the puzzles are collected, Michael can attack and crush his victim, with his cold and emotionless personality.
…
I think one of the first times Michael broke character was actually the first film when he failed to stab Laurie and instead grazed her arm with the knife. Disregarding plot armor, I’m assuming he became too mentally stimulated and that threw off his senses
@@LittleAngryCarrots no.Because in the first film, Michael was played by many people and they behaved differently, even Carpenter played Michael
Nice book you wrote

@Keaton_JB He would be a way better Jason, imo.
The scene in Halloween 2018 when the reporter pulled out the mask at the mental hospital backyard and other patients started reacting nervously to it was extremely powerful to the franchise. It suggested that the mask is more than just a mask.
Halloween Ends sort of proved it when the kid took Michael's mask and then he went full blown psycho killer
Honestly I thought the opposite it was a very goofy and unrealistic view of mental patients and made the scene feel almost comical as a result. I have known several people in a bad enough state to be housed in a mental hospital or the psychiatric ward of a normal hospital and so have spent a good amount of time in such places over the past 25 years and honestly many of the severe patients (which Smith's Grove would house) are closer to that scene in The Exorcist where Father Karras visits his mother in the hospital but plenty of others can blend in well enough with the average person a good amount of the time where if you didn't know them on a more personal level you would not know the severity of their issues. The scene in H:40/H'18 reminded me of what you'd see in something like New Year's Evil with the patients acting like over the top caricatures (never mind them even knowing what the mask was).
@@FredCracklin very little in Halloween is realistic. The fact that Michael is everything-proof is crazy. But this is the concept of the series and the mask scene works just great in a form of symbolism
I also like this scene a lot but for me the mask is for Michael Meyers what Batman is for Bruce Wayne a very powerful symbol. The fact that crazy guys reacted to the mask for me it meant that the mask was full of energy from what happened in the past and the crazy people could detect it. But also could be that the mask became cursed after the halloween night at 70’s and then crazy guys could detect it.
@@MatadorShifter well said
@@carlossilva8087 also well said
I always thought Michael didn't run after his pray, because he didn't want to overexert himself. Saving all that energy for the actual kill and rather, stalking his "prey" like a panther from the bushes.
Prey
I can’t see someone so evil praying after numerous murders
Probably so... Keep in mind this is just the guy that made this video theory about Michael Myers
I was quite intrigued by the one scene in Halloween Kills, where the neighborhood fights against him. I always wondered what would happen if people actually teamed up and outnumbered him with brute force, thereby eliminating his most lethal method by killing undetected. Multiple blunt force trauma was applied to most of his upper body, including close range pistol fire, and a direct kick to the face. NONE of that could kill him lol
Michael is just to powerful
But it did weaken him in the next movie to the point where he needed help to kill people.
That and he's old...aka not immortal.
@@antisjw7701 I thought the same thing. Not that his victims deserving death I mean they should have destroyed his head.
@@RisingBeast00 Michael also hadn’t killed in 4 years, and in Halloween Kills Laurie says the more he kills the stronger he becomes

You get a CLEAR look at him in the original.
Yeah it's right at the start when his parent's unmask him and say "Micheal!".
No he gets unmasked right at the end actually@Mr.Goodkat
@kpm4144 young Mike at the beginning, old Mike with the dotted eye at the end.
Michael Myers doesn't have Catatonic Schizophrenia. He is possessed by something called "The Shape." It's why he sat still as a boy, and he even mentioned hearing voices that make him hate others. Those voices come from The Shape, which is why he kills.
He has a supernatural ability to sense his victims and The Shape guides him as he pursues them. He has no need to chase them because The Shape reassures him he will get them and guides him to infiltrate their homes or take pathways that put him in close proximity with victims. The Shape can infect others, as seen in Halloween Ends.
Where’d you get this info from? The “shape” is just one of his nicknames, the same way he’s been called the boogeyman multiple times. He’s called that because his presence is supposed to be indescribable and mysterious, hence why he’s normally seen lurking in the shadows before he kills someone. Michael isn’t possessed by anything, that’s a theory. The only logical explanation of why he’s the way he is is cause he’s simply evil, he’s the embodiment and physical “shape” of evil itself. That’s what makes Michael Myers unique compared to most horror icons because he remains a mystery and no one knows his true origin or purpose
You pulled this out of your ass 😂.
I remember the first masks in the late 70s-early 80s did not read 'Michael Myers' on the cardboard tag but 'The Shape'.
@@user-vt3vo1yd3v Even in Dead by Daylight, he is referred to as "The Shape" rather than Michael Myers. This reference is referred to the entity dwelling within him. When he's depicted as a simple sweet boy during Halloween, he's perfectly normal. When The Shape possesses him, he turns dark and they describe seeing this darkness in his eyes.
In Halloween Ends, The Shape manages to possess another and turns him dark. The father of the boy he accidentally killed leading up to this wanted to reconcile with him. He too described the darkness in his eyes, and that it was no longer the same kid he knew before, but something else. We even get to witness the possession take place when Michael grabs him.
@@Peaceisabeast again, just a popular nickname
This was amazing. Thank you for the Michael Myers video, perhaps as times goes on this year it can be a series for all the classic killers.
Just saw it IS a ongoing series lol looks like I missed a few. Ill look up Jason tomorrow
I believe Myers is completely human but the demon inside him keeps him alive and almost rapidly heals him in a way
You're right. It is definitely that way with COT Michael (don't know about the others), who is immortal and invulnerable through the Curse of Thorn, which was placed on him as a child. He can't die and can regenerate life threatening wounds (even third degree burns and a thousand bullet wounds (some of them being from shotguns)) as long as the Curse isn't broken, which it only is, once he has made his last sacrifice.
He has the powers of a supernatural being (because of the Curse) but he is fully human. And he would be fully human again, once he's free from the Curse.
Man, i wish that there were a horror movie crossover between all of these horror icons, like Michael, Freddy, Jason, Pumpkinhead and others. Just imagine all of them trying to fight for this city that they discovered, to find out, who is stronger and who will be allowed to slaughter that city in the end. Like, there is a fan made video game out there with all of them called Terrordrome, so why not make a movie.
*decides to write it in fanfic form and the city they fight for.... [looks over list] is an expy of Rochester.*
I always thought they should make a game like that. It'd be like Kingdom Hearts but with horror movies instead. That would be awesome
Chucky wins
That would be so damn iconic like classes damn 😝
Cause ash Williamson will kill them all?
what i always enjoyed was micheals lack of motive, Jason kills because of you intruding on camp crystal lake, Freddy Kills because his vicitms are the descendants of the people who murdered him, etc
Micheal is cold, Ruthless, and kills simply because he wants to. theres no avoiding or overcoming him really, no steps you can take to stay out of his way. with him its pure luck and happenstance that you were spared
Myers doesn't run for two reasons: First he'd look rather silly running around in that getup. Second, everything we've seen regarding Myers in nearly every movie in the franchise, across all its iterations, is that his pattern is to set up traps for his main targets and patiently waits for them to enter therein. Once the trap is sprung, even if the hapless victims run away, he doesn't have to run after them because he knows they have few or no other places to run except right where he wants them, and he can afford to take his time strolling calmly after them. Don't read too much into the movies trying to diagnose the character.
Yes, we know what he looks like. We saw him as a child, and can age him up from there. More importantly, his mask was pulled off in the first Halloween, and we get a good look at adult Michael. He looked like every other serial killer - a normal human being. That is always scarier than any mask. The fact that anyone could be a cold blooded killer, and you would never know just by looking at them.
I think initially that's what the idea was. To make a serial killer out of anyone, even a 10 year old boy.. but then the story and timeline just keeps getting dragged out and more complicated
We saw it again in another one
@@josephcook6442He was 6.
@@teej4471 True. We see his face again in H5, when he unmasks for Jamie, even though you can't see his face completely, because of the lighting.
@@valeriebreidenstein8362 that unmasking doesnt even respect its own canon timeline, with michael having no facial burnscars and intact eyes
I disagreed that making him really tall added to the fear. That just made him a big hulking brute, like Jason, which I don't think he is. He should remain 5"10 to 6". Because I've always preferred him to be average-ish sized.
I think he's definitely a supernatural being. In the first film, he already displays impossible strength and survived injuries that definitely should have killed him. In the second, he wrote "Samhein" (not sure if that's spelt right) on the wall in blood, which hints towards demon possession. His unkillability and impossible strength increases increases with time.
Although catatonic schizophrenia night work as an explanation, my head canon is that it's because he's possessed and the demon sort of remote controls him a little awkwardly. But the real reason is most likely because it's more foreboding and less human.
That was the entire point. Loomis was implying to the cops and everyone that Michael was more than human (or less, depending on how you see it).

1st to comment I love Michael Myers favorite and best killer 💯💯
The MURDER GAME real !!!! 🩸
Facts gang 💯 😤 💪
Best how? Movies, popularity, skill? That’s def an opinion. If you like him better that’s cool but Jason is arguably a better killer skill wise. He’s more creative and I never seen Mike shoot an arrow at a person on a moving speed boat 100+ yards out and get a headshot. He can sneak just as good as Mike, sets traps better and positions bodies just as good if not better. Mike doesn’t do projectiles either like throwing shit with deadly accuracy. Mike may be first in the unstoppable masked killer department (unless you count leather who predates him but he ain’t unstoppable) but better is arguable.
💯
I think Michael might be deformed in a way kinda like Jason. I like the way he looked after he was burnt in Halloween kills. It makes him look evil, broken and terrifying. That’s probably the best depiction of what Michael Myers looks like.
his face was scarier when it was just plain and simple, as he looked like a kid in the original
He's not Jason is handicapped and deformed Myers is just fuckin' crazy

@@nealsmall9316 bro they show what he looks like as an Oldman as well. I just forgot which movie it was🤦♂️. Nonetheless he looks like a regular old man
Need a Halloween game like Friday or the upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Micheal is hyper vigilant, yet only to what matters to him, which is why he’s so indifferent to most situations
The reason Michael doesn’t run isn’t because he is catatonic, it’s because he knows that when his prey is in complete fear, he has the upper hand, and every time that Michael is about to kill someone and they don’t beg to be spared but they tell him to do it, he tilts his head which causes his brain to scrabble as to why they aren’t begging for their life. Another reason why Michael always tilts his head when he doesn’t understand is because he never really went to school, he killed his sister at 6, was stuck inside of a sanitarium for 15 years, escaped at 21, and just killed and killed and killed, he never learned anything serious about survival. Instead all he did was train himself to be more efficient and brutal. Also another reason is that he was locked away at 6 years old. At around 6 years old you become very impressionable. Since he never truly went school, the only things he knows how to do is kill, stalk, terrorize, and play with his food / chase them around until he kills them, just like cat and mouse which is often used as a saying in kindergarten through 2nd grade.
What always gave me goosebumps was how they cast the girl who played Jamie and she looked EXACTLY like the kid who played young Michael in the original
Then she's the same girl then if she is EXACTLY the same
You see Myers' face in the original. Also, the scene where Myers is sitting at the window isn't a deleted scene. It was added to the TV version to tie it to Halloween 2.
Thanks for this in-depth analysis of this horror movie icon.
I've always been curious that when he's driving what's he thinking when he's waiting at a red light? Because he knows getting pulled over would go against his interests.
Unlike Jason where you can see a being filled with rage who is hyper focused on what he does, Michael may as well be a machine. He has nothing to gauge how he feels, or what he is thinking. Even Jason will eventually react to pain if you hurt him enough. Michael may as well not even register what pain even is, only aware of his physical body being in danger. And that I feel is why it makes him far scarier.
Yes, he revealed his face in H1. Yes, he IS supernatural. Anyone trying to say otherwise is wrong. Whether he's cursed by Thorn or Samhain or whatever, there's a supernatural power driving him. No one has ever referred to him as The Shape. He's only been credited as that in a couple of the movies. His mask has no power. He's either a possessed human or a hard to kill old man. All of this can be confusing given the half-dozen timelines this franchise has been fractured into at this point.
Thorn was really the only explanation to Michaels immortality/supernatural nature. But i have another theory. what if the thing making him supernatural is his status as the Boogeyman, since kids fear him and that gives him power. In halloween ends they comfortably assumed he was dead, as most people (besides Laurie) weren’t fearful of him anymore.
@@Jason_Voorheessss I mean in halloween 1 nobody was scared of him, it took that killing spree to make people know who he was
As said in Halloween Ends, he is an 8 year old boy in a body of a man and a mind of an animal.
He is a scared animal, ostracised from society and seeing EVERYONE around except for the smallest of children as an enemy and a potential threat.
Which is why he empathises with Cory, who is also an outcast, and tries to make a protege out of him, before Cory gets cocky and takes his mask.
Amazing vid, you gotta do Martian Manhunter, it would be a fun one, and he fits right in the kind of video you create.
1- at no point have i ever thought he had schizophrenia.
2- i already sympathize with him
3- sociopathy and schizophrenia and psychopathy are all different things, Michael clearly has emotion and acts as such.
4- again sociopaths have empathy
5- but hey other than that i liked the video and it was refreshing to see a new perspective on Michael
He said Catatonic schizophrenia not schizophrenia it means when someone have difficulty moving .
@@d-fense420 yeah I saw that and I took it upon myself to see what that was and it doesn’t exist. Catatonia and schizophrenia can go hand in hand a lot but ‘catatonic schizophrenia’ doesn’t exist. At least it doesn’t with updates in research and advancements in the psychological field
His superhuman strength can be explained that the threshold and pain receptors to his muscles are numbed and anthropied
Powerlifters learn to do this and there's people are genetically born with this turned off can excerts inhuman strength without even weight lifting, Samoans are known to be incredibly strong even before they lift any weights
His healing factor also plays into this since his threshold receptors are tuned off his metabolism would be inhumanly fast ...I do know he does eat and drink based on the comics and novels but since his body natural has a fast metabolism he doesn't need to eat much
There was a man who survived a train steel rod from his eye up to brain in the 1800s thou he was mentally challenged and his motor functions were bad and he lived another ten years after
@@Chuck_EL He doesn’t have a healing factor, that isn’t canon anymore. If he did have a healing factor he wouldn’t need to be treated from his wounds from 1978 in the h40 timeline and his wounds from 2018/Kills would have healed automatically, hell his injured eye and neck wound from 78 isn’t even fully healed
@@tayc9542 Canon isn't just whatever movie is the newest, the Blumhouse timeline is its' own separate thing and even then no mention was made of hospitalization for wounds after the '78 spree. Scarring means the wound has healed, just not cleanly. If he didn't have some sort of heightened ability to heal (and overall durability) he would have been dead after the events of the 2018 movie never mind Kills.
So, there is supposed lore that Michael is actually possessed by a demon and is why he has super human abilities. So i say, if he has the supernatural stuff, someone else could and counter him.
Just like that ESPer girl user in Friday the 13th.
Maybe. maybe not.. I doubt it.
I always thought Michael Myers had C.I.P.A because his ability to handle damage but then I took that theory out because you hear him grunt and react to pain. Like getting stabbed with the knitting needle.
Psychopathy doesn’t just affect how you treat others or feel for others… but it also affects your neurological and need or care about your physical pain, it’s a mental illness but that doesn’t mean it can’t destroy your brain.
There’s a glimpse of his face in the first movie when Laurie Strode took off his mask.
Bro I swear I seen the the Jason thumbnail days ago and wondered were you going to do Michael Myers 💯💯🔥
He's a bit of both.Hes supernatural in terms of his strength and durability but he's human in the since that he still needs to drink eat and sleep like a normal human.Also,the Halloween ends novel explains that his wounds he got in 2018 never healed and got infected so he got weaker.
You are right. He ate that dog. For supper.
finally someone with a brain
@@Jason_VoorheessssI like the Rob Zombie Halloween because it shows what he went through as a kid his stepdad was harassing him his sister didn't care about him
He sleeps???
Meyers is invincible.
First movie scared me more than Exorcist
Come on, are you saying that for shock value because that’s down right ludacris 😂 How did Halloween scare you more then the Exorcist? Next to Jaws for the time, Exorcist was and still is considered one of the scariest movies ever made.
Because had no idea he was immortal. Plus soundtrack was nuts. Saw Exorcist in theater as a kid and ran all the way home. Something nuts about “The Shape”
@@RMGCBG 🤣 That’s awesome, I can see that. Mikey is creepy, thanks for that.
@@KingKahn85 exorcist wasn't scary. People were offended cause it's based around religion. Pathetic.
@@jamespope7669 Pal, take yourself out of the equation for a min. Sure the blasphemous aspect part of it but the vast majority, especially those who grew up in the 70’s, would disagree with you. People ran out of the theaters. There was nothing like it prior. I personally didn’t find it scary, no movie is ever really scary for me but to say it didn’t scare people for the time when no movie before it was ever like it, is just silly.
If you pit Exoricist against Halloween for the ‘most scary’ award between the two, Exorcist would win more often than not. Cinematically it is. Halloween is just more popular or more pop culturally iconic.
It is theorized that Michael didnt kill the child because they werent a threat
Yeah, the kid wasn't in the way unlike the one earlier in the movie
all time fave Meyers The Shape
Rest in peace James Winburn
Do you mean George Wilbur? Michael from parts 4 and 6? Because he died Feb 1st.
@@KingKahn85 yes
Supposedly in kills his body was destroyed,but he was insisting to try to put his mask on while Laurie was trying to take it off of him! Its like he needed his mask to have the strength to be able to survive perhaps! I believe that michael draw his power somehow from the mask since we see the producers insisting to show us in the final movie.This mask draws power from the spirits,and the ppl he is killing to be able to be imortal while regaining his strength as well! The weirdest part was why to have Laurie keep his mask,the one thing that would be a reminder of her worst enemy and boogeyman! If the mask won't be destroyed michael will surely come back to haunt us all really soon once more im afraid! 😅
He is literally a shark among men. I've always appreciated his body language. The slow calculated rage driven movements--- I do feel that there is supernatural force behind his drive as well, I never fully bought the mental illness aspect. "Pure evil" as Loomis would say. It may have seemed like mental illness, but it wasn't. In hindsight the cult of thorn plot unraveling wasn't the greatest way to explain everything, but it's technically cannon, so all the reboots seem off, including the newest trilogy. It was mediocre at best, and the ending was terrible. The last film was pure lazy writing.
Oh you wanna smash Myers?
Not literally, metaphorically.
The complete opposite of literally.
@@abegarfield7031true, sick of seeing people over using and misusing "literally" all over the place.
He imitates the behavior of the boyfriend in the beginning of the first movie. Judith’s boyfriend went up the stairs, did something, then went out the front door. Michael goes upstairs, looks at the ruffled bedsheets, can’t understand what happened to his sister, killed her, then went down the stairs and out the door like the boy did. You’re correct he can’t understand sex or intimacy and probably why he wore the bedsheet after killing Bob in the first movie. He correlates the bed sheet he saw before killing his sister with something he doesn’t understand
My niece is terrified of my Michael Myers mask. It started after her older sister put it on and told her she was going to eat her and chased her around the house. I have it on a plastic head on top of my fridge but I put it away when she comes over lol
Well you can always show her a behind the scenes video where they show that the whole thing is fake, maybe she wont be scared anymore.
@@Deluna_arts_studio that's a good idea. I figure she'll grow out of it too. She's only 4. I should try that though. Thanks 👍
@@PinkyJujubean can you blame a 4 year old
@@worstperson2ask not at all. Michael Myers is scary
Carpenters Myers was terrifying because he was a real person. He was some un-killable demon. Most of the sequels make him out to be supernatural. Another Jason.
To be fair...it is very hard to breath under that mask.
I once had to run with a movie accurate Michael Myers Cosplay and got so little air in that mask that I had to pull it off immidiatly.
It kinda felt like having a plastic bag over the head with a little bit of air inside, I inhaled the mask more than the air that I tried to breathe... :D
I don't know how it feels like to breathe with a plastic bag over the head, but I think it was almost the same thing...😅
In the movie accurate mask it doesn't even had a mouth hole, The Mold you can buy online has a slit you can breath through so its easier
@@stephenwalters4121 yeah and even that is hard to breathe in, so it's easy to imagine how Michael feels with less breathing room
In Halloween ends Michael was basically raising a second Michael which could be counted as raising a child but in a very bad way so you never know 🤷♂️
In death battle it was stated that decapitation is a sure way to kill him since In every Halloween movie Micheal avoid being decapitated while Jason has his head obliterated and dismembered run over and drowned
While Micheal has been shot and blown up but it seems he avoid being blown up
I would cut off all his limbs , just for fun
Jason's not immune to decapitation. He's been decapitated in Jason Goes to Hell. While Michael hasn't shown evidence of surviving decapitation, he has taken bullets to the brain and still kept going.
@@IWasaTeenageTeenWolf Yet despite being decapitated Jason kept on killing.
Jason can also die to decapitation and blowing him up lmao
@@seanao32 No he can't, his soul will just transfer to a new host.
Michael Myers is such an iconic horror slasher and a pure force of nature that is seemingly unstoppable. Going off his seemingly decent list of unknown mental disorders, i theorize that that Michael also suffers from a rare physical disorder known as Congenital Insensitivity to Pain With Anhidrosis or CIPA. Anyone who is diagnosed with CIPA is in short...immune to feel pain. Their nervous system makes it impossible for the person with the disorder to feel any sort of physical pain and cannot register pain. The reason i support this is simply due to the fact of how much physical damage Michael endured throughout the series and continued to shrug it off and keep pushing forward without even so much as a grunt of pain.
CIPA has a draw back in most cases as a person who suffers from it wouldn't actually know when they're injured and wouldn't know when they needed medical attention. But as we see with Michael, he doesn't care about it either way. He will simply continue to push on...this could play into support of the Cationic Schizophrenia theory as well where he doesn't register physical pain and does not seek treatment from others.
You need to read the novelizations. Myers definitely has an interest in sex. It’s even a theory that Annie was his true victim and Laurie was a leftover.
The '78 novelization is not canonical in any way whatsoever. It's further from the original film than the H6 Producer's Cut and Ends combined.
@@FredCracklin whatever you say there Hoss 👍🏻🤙🏻
The novelizations are better than the movies.
Catatonic schizophrenics move a lot slower than meyers they take a long time to speak; however, they speak very directly and do not add any fluff to a conversation. They may take a while to speak but they give definitive answers. Catatonic people do not move or speak. Catatonic schizophrenics can speak and move but they are not always violent like this. The scary thing about Michael is his demeanor and the fact that he has several mental illnesses with symptoms of one disorder contradicting symptoms of another disorder. It is a perfect storm of psychopathic rage
His mask, like other slasher bad guys, is so any physical actor can play him.
Want to know how to kill him? There's only one way... kill the fans' desire to have him return in film.
And he's a slasher villain evil of the Micheal Myers type... no real mental condition covers his behavior. That's part of what makes him horrible.
Decades ago, our circle of Halloween fans discussed it... Michael Myers can short-range teleport nearly anywhere he can physically walk to as soon as nobody can see him to a place nobody is observing. He has been seen running only once, and that was his escape from the "nuthouse" he escaped from in the first movie as a brief blur of action.
He's also usually about typically madman fiction level strong until the plot needs him to be stronger for the terror factor... then he's as strong as he needs to be. This is typical horror movie bad guy super strength.
They had to make him supernatural... because even the lowest educated horror fan ever would not buy even the most mind-altered super strong madman could take and recover from the kind of punishment he takes.
I don’t think there’s any explanation to Michael. He’s evil, that’s why. He doesn’t chase because he’s always there he will get them, you can’t stop him. And he is supernatural. Dude takes bullets like they’re nothing and feels no pain
It takes a demon to kill a demon.
A dream demon.
I loved Tyler Maine character. His height and acting was everything.
Of all my childhood horror movies I still think jason would body every other villain. Jason just a gangster like that.
Michael ''The Shape'' Myers works best when you can see him as a literal anybody with a mask honestly. Sure the supernatural unkillable monster story is fun. But Michael works best as a mortal. And i like that they sort of went with that in the new trilogy. I mean, he is an extreme. But he isn't impossible. I think Halloween Kills shows some of the absolute best of Michael. You see consistansy. After losing his fingers he bandages his own hand. He does actually take some care of himself. If he is Evil or not... I mean, yeah he is evil as far as it can be defined. But not doubt it stems from a mental illness of some sort. But i think it's mostly a disconect in ways. I don't think he sees himself as a villain. I think he simply doesn't feel anything either way for anyone. I think in his head he is the only one witht the rest of the world being backround noise with no value. Again, in Kills we see this playfull nature to him when he keeps planting knife after knife after knife into this one dude. It almost seems to fascinate him. Like a kid making magic potions at the dinner table. He just doesn't have any concept of it being wrong. I think the same goes for how he doesn't run. I think it's sort of like a cat. Cats are evil bastards. They will play with small critters, torture them and then kill them and leave them. Cats kill for fun. I think that's sort of what Michael does when he walks after his victims. He has fun.
And his sense of pain. In the first film we see him activly feel pain as he goes down to very normal human things. Stabbed in the neck or eye makes him go down. He feels pain. But i think it's very possible after Dr. Loomis shot him in the first film, it gave him some kind of nerve damage. Because Michael was shot up bad in that film. Or Maybe Michael sort of just starts to ignore the pain. The Beating he takes in Kills is brutal as hell. But it's pute will that pushes him to go up. I think at that point he is genuinly starting to feel some anger. For the first time he has to fight to stay alive. And it does actually hurt him badly. As we see in Halloween Ends, he starts out as a cripple. Can't even kill one guy. Can hardly defend himself. But he finds motivation when he meets that other guy. Wich i think was mainly just a means to and end. Alltough, in Ends it also seems to sugest that Michael feeds of that dude's energy. I really think it's left open for us to decide. Because Michael is still rather weak at the end of the film when Lorie finaly gets to destroy him.
The idea of Michael is immortal. But Michael himself was mortal. The way they disposed of him in the end, is more so symbolic. They killed him. But they also destroyed him. I think Michael can be what ever you want him to be. To me Michael is just a guy. A guy that puts no value to human life beyond the joy of taking it. He is sadistic because he simply can't conect with anyone. That makes him far more scary that any other slasher icon. Because he is so simple yet undefined. Jason can be understood rather easily. Freddy is a simple guy really. He is the monster he looks like. Ghostface is a bunch of edgy messed up teens. Leatherface is a retard with multiple personality disorders who's been raised to kill. Michael... He is undefined. But he is a human.
Finally someone with a brain, he is INFACT scarier when he’s a human, but he gets up from fatal i juries.
Michael doesn't run. Everyone and everything runs from Michael Myers.
There is a scene in Halloween 6 after the operating room massacre. Michael in chasing Tommy, Kara and a doctor in a tunnel. Michael looks like he is either running or walking faster then he ever did in any film.
I wish they gave him a clear motive. “Killing because you want to kill” isn’t a motive, it’s a verbiage. I liked how they tried to make it about the factory with the masks turning him evil.
When ever the past Halloween Films gave him a motive from brother vs sister, the cult of thorn, he needs to wipe out his entire blood line, and the White Horse it hurt the character. Myers was never connected to the shamrock factory and that story line had nothing to do with Myers, in that movie Myers is shown as a movie character that we see on tv.
Giving michael no motive makes him even scarier.
@@Jason_Voorheessss As said in Halloween Ends, he is an 8 year old boy in a body of a man and a mind of an animal.
He is a scared animal, ostracised from society and seeing EVERYONE around except for the smallest of children as an enemy and a potential threat.
Which is why he empathises with Cory, who is also an outcast, and tries to make a protege out of him, before Cory gets cocky and takes his mask.
Michael Myers never ran because he had no fear. No reason to run if you have the inability to be scared or worried.
Can the homicidal leprechaun reproduce?
The second movie revolves around the leprechaun finding a bride to have children with so yes, he can reproduce.
Ik but he never got that chance
@@general-Lee-700 Doesn't matter, your question was answered in Leprechaun 2.
Son I prefer a professional person to answer my question
@@general-Lee-700 Your question was answered by the movies themselves, boy.
They did show his face partly a couple times in dim lighting. Would have loved to see that talked about..
If you pause the first one at just the right time on the escape from the asylum you can see half of Mike's face it is so quick that you can miss it 3000 views unless you are actually looking for it also you see Mike run so you can't see his face properly in the same scene
i think the reason he chooses to walk is because he wants you to feel safe so when he strikes you get more fear
There’s a massive difference between Michael and the other slashers they all have ulterior motives but Michael doesn’t that’s something else that makes him more popular than the other plus Michael is The King Of The Killers
Can you please stop with the theory if a character is or is not capable of reproducing on the videos? It's juvenile while the topic takes away from your videos and creativity rather than add a level of interest. It is completely pointless for many characters. Like your pushing agenda on your audience. I, like many people don't care about if a person can reproduce or not or who they see in the bedroom or what is done in the bedroom. Only perverted creepy weirdos care about such topics.
Offcourse he is supernatural! Did you never seen any Halloween movies?
Mikey is my half brother.
Urban Legend quote "Mikey likes it" 😂
So glad you’ve starter doing horror icons
Marvelous Videos, can I reproduce? I have all the male anatomy, I really want to know, please answer.
If Michael survived that metal compactor than in the next movie they need to do a crossover with the X-Men franchise
I wish the entire Halloween franchise wasn’t retcon twice, I wish they were all canon except for Rob Zombie
I thought the first one was ok, it would of been way better if they showed his entire time at the asylum and have the movie end with him stealing Sam's Loomis car, but rob zombies part 2 was just awful.
I'd like to think that basically Michael Myers has no mental illnesses and is completely aware of himself and others at all times. He chose not to speak a single word for 40 years. He simply illustrates the fact that everyone is capable of simply making the choice to be evil. Michael has simply gained the will to be pure evil, not speak a single word and simply keep killing.
Who wins in a battle to the death?
Michael Myers? Or Leatherface?
Michael Myers💯💯
Pros for Leatherface: he's big + his chainsaw = long reach
But....'fraid Michael would still win.
Pros for Michael: Michael is supernatural while LF is a human being; Michael is wicked smart especially compared to LF who is basically his family's attack dog
Obviously Leatherface
Michael because he is stronger and more durable then Leatherface. He’s even smarter
Depends which Leatherface. Thomas Brown Hewitt from the remakes def stands a better chance as he’s much more brutal bigger and faster, built like an NFL linebacker. Plus he has knowledge on anatomy being a butcher.
Jedidiah Bubba Sawyer the OG Leatherface, tho predating Michael, would lose most times BUT Netflix’s version of Jed was also a powerhouse that snapped a man’s arm like a twig.
It really depends on the versions. 6/7 out of 10xs, maybe, goes to Mike. But Mike has been taken out by some wack shit from far weaker opponents too tho and a chainsaw in Leathers hands is different than in anyone else’s. Kitchen knife ain’t holding up against a chainsaw for very long if at all realistically and it’s got reach. A chic backed Mike up with a chainsaw in Resurrection, imagine a 6’5 300lbs butcher cannibal. Different ball game.
Thank you I love the Michael myers character he's my favorite he's the most scary 😨
In the novelized version it alludes to the Myers men are cursed to be possessed by the spirit of a distant relative that murdered a couple on All Hallows eve. This person was in turn burned at the stake with a curse on his lips
Michael was also perverted in the first Halloween novel. The scenes where he's staring at women through windows, he's standing "at attention". Hence, the heavy breathing.
@@uestionalways8703 the whole theme of the movie is voyeurism
@@matthewbennett1972 Spot on analysis. John Carpenters original black-and-white student film is called "Captain Voyeur" and it is about a pervert who wears a mask, and stares at couples through windows while breathing heavy.
Michael Myers’s can run though, he’s been shown to run faster than a human can perceive in ever timeline.
The original Halloween had him disappearing while Laurie was still looking at him.
He doesn’t run if front of his victims.
Michael Myers is supernatural demon
Remember that’s not canon anymore
Not Carpenters Michael. It was hinted in Ends that he’s a vessel for Evil. Pure Evil. Carpenters original intention was that Michael was like an evil wind both human and supernatural. The word demon originally was never used. That’s in the later sequels 4-6, especially 6, with Thorn.
OG Mike and the new timeline, he’s possessed by an evil spirit basically. His body was falling apart in Ends after the events in Kills which is why he went into hiding in the sewers. The body or vessel was weak and broken down past repair or functionality. The more he kills he transcends you can clearly see that when Mike finally gets a kill in the sewer after being there so long hunched over- he starts shaking and almost powering up. The evils vessel (Michael) was dying so that’s why Corey snapped and was half possessed by the evil as well because he was gearing up to be its next host.
Part 6 is basically almost the same premise with the Curse of Thorn, the demon correlating with Samhain. To spare a village from this evil spirit of Samhain or demon, the villagers chose one person for it to possess like a sacrifice inflicting him or her with the Curse of Thorn. Mike was the latest host to the Curse. Tommy claims the curse relates to a demon in his explaination of Thorn at the computer.
I mean it’s a play on words, I suppose on wether this evil spirit or ‘pure evil’ is demonic but the word demon is never used by Carpenter. Pure Evil isn’t necessarily a demon but it can be I guess. There’s many forms of evil. Could be the psychosis that’s in us all which is def the vibe the Zombie Halloween movies take. Traditionally, possession is done by a demon, but not always. But your traditional biblical demon is not what Carpenter had in mind for his original creation.
@@KingKahn85 In my opinion I don’t think Michael was possessed by evil. He was born pure evil. I don’t think it has nothing to do with spirits or anything in my opinion
@@tayc9542 the new movies purposely left it ambiguous for this very reason. For fans to speculate but if you watch the films there’s def more of a supernatural under tone than not. I already tocuhed upon the fact that his ‘pure evil’ could also be his very psychosis, the evil inside all of us. But there is def more evidence of supernatural occurances throughout the franchise. Rob Zombies version is more the version your implying where he was born kinda fucked up with a fucked up upbringing and his psychosis is the pure evil that everyone is capable of, (especially after being institutionalized for so long). Again like I mentioned. But that’s your opinion.
But Carpenter himself is quoted in saying: “Michael Myers is not a character. He is a force of nature. He’s not a person. He’s part supernatural, and part human. He’s like the wind, an evil wind.” He says he’s both human and supernatural in his very own quote, the man who created him.
I don’t think the original version of Michael from ‘78 was born pure evil because prior to him murdering Judith at 6 years old he was a seemingly normal kid with normal parents and a normal household. You can see them when they pull his mask off his face as a boy and say ‘Michael?’ In disbelief. Normal folks. One night on Halloween he snapped and became the Shape. The shape is the name of the pure evil inside of Michael. They are synonymous. Was the evil always there, maybe. Or was the evil somehow introduced and found it’s way, possibly. Corey seemingly took the same mannerisms as Michael/Shape after he grabbed him
In Ends, like it was a transference of evil.
If Michael was born an evil fuck then things prior wouldn’t transpire the way it did. It hits home because a normal kid seemingly snapped, out of nowhere and killed his sister. it would be Rob Zombies from the get go otherwise or it would be more like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer if he was born always an evil kid.
@@KingKahn85 I think the evil was always inside him even prior to Judith’s murder. I think it didn’t fully get released until October 31st 1963 you know. I think it was slowly progressing. Rob Zombie’s is different because he made Michael like a real life serial killer. Showing signs and everything but the original didn’t show anything so you wouldn’t think he would be capable of growing up and become a serial killer unlike the remake. Yes John Carpenter said Michael was part human and part supernatural but when he was talking about how Rbz ruined the character he said “Michael is supposed to be almost supernatural. Before the other sequels came out he confirmed for Halloween 1 and 2 that Michael was human but he had to change his statement multiple times because of the sequels. The series took a turn after 1 and 2 sense he really didn’t have control anymore. But the 2018 timeline brought Michael back to his original roots and brought back the mystique. He is just pure evil, kills for no reason and etc. no explanation on why he is the way he is. I see where you coming from with the supernatural aspect through this timeline but at the end of the day it’s just speculation like you said even tho David Gordon Green debunked all that supernatural bs with 2018 tbh. But Ends left us with more questions then answers
The 80s ones were the creepiest
They ruined the whole thing with the ENDS movie..
The mortal aspect of Michael Myers doesn't add up as in Halloween IV, the evil seemed to jump into his niece as she worse a similar clown costume he once wore as a child.
A shame Michael only been killed once and it's in his latest movie I still believe Laurie decapitated him in H20 I don't care.
That’s make absolutely no sense, Resurrection explained that. How you feel doesn’t change actually what happened. I didn’t like how he dies in Ends but by it doesn’t change anything.
Resurrection don't exist to me it's a alternate reality to me Michael was killed by Laurie in H20.
That wasn’t Michael who Laurie killed in h20 it was a paramedic
Correction. This is his 2nd time dying. He officially died in Ends and depending on the version, Theatrical or Unrated, he was either stabbed by Laurie or was shot to death in Rob Zombies Halloween 2.
So two times, in 2 different timelines.
I agree though, H20 should’ve been his death too. He just made too much money so the Akkads and co. came up with his atrocious paramedic retcon. Probably the worst back peddle in all of horror.
H20 would’ve ended the character perfectly for awhile.
Him standing behind that mannequin got me, I'm not gonna lie.
I think Michael runs only one time in Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007) where he runs to Laurie and they fall of the balcony at the ending scene.
13:00 in this scene
You see his face a lot in the movies, his parent's unmask him in the beginning, you get a good long look, you see him in that deleted scene sitting in the seat, you see Jamie Lee Curtis unmask him in the end of the first movie, you see him lot's in the Rob Zombie movie too, I haven't seen them all though so suspect more in the others.
Michael is not mentally ill, he's pure evil. How else would you explain his incredible strength, and durability that makes him almost immortal?
Great video. You should do one on Jason
Damn, kind wish this was updated with the results from ends.
Did I miss something? Didn’t the thumbnail ask what he really looks like? I didn’t see what he looks like.
This movie ends up being a nightmare dream Laurie had. All these events in this movie weren't real and never happened. Michael Myers is alive!!
Thanks!
Man, I sure wish yall would do a Phantasm video! Yall could make a 2 part video out of The Tall Man & his weird multidimensional mythos!
Hot damn you did! How did I miss it? :)
He displays very acute awareness and ability to premeditate for very long periods of time. He's not a Sociopath, he has psychopathy with some sociopathic tendencies.
Lastly, perhaps studios refusing to kill Michael is driven by more than money. Maybe the writers are subconsciously believing a fictitious character’s immortality? Self imposing the entire thing?
Thanks for this video. Made me think
This is why a crossover of HellRaiser and Halloween needs to happen. Michael died in End and it’s the perfect time to now make a Michael v Pinhead movie
I still wanted to see Mike vs Jason but I doubt that'll ever happen
Michael Myers isn’t a human actually. This is admitted. - “Carpenter explains, making him a flexible and enduring icon who can never be truly killed off.”
They tried to explain this for years and years to the viewer. Halloween 4 “he’s not a man. That died years ago.” Yet, the viewer doesn’t realize it’s just like Jason who is the undead
