Michael Myers Anatomy Explored - Did He Ever Reveal His Real Face? Is He A Supernatural Being?

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.

RIP George P Wilbur who played Michael Myers in Return & Curse.

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”.

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.

When the camera isn’t on Mike, he runs like Steven Segal

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

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

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.

1st to comment I love Michael Myers favorite and best killer 💯💯

You get a CLEAR look at him in the original.

Micheal derives his power from box office receipts

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I believe Myers is completely human but the demon inside him keeps him alive and almost rapidly heals him in a way

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.

Micheal is hyper vigilant, yet only to what matters to him, which is why he’s so indifferent to most situations

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.
