The best thing about Michael is that he’s mysterious. You can’t see his facial expressions, you can’t see his eyes. You don’t know why he does what he does. How he chooses victims. That’s the most frightening part of it.
Whats also scary is that you can tell hes 100% human. They all know his real name and story and they can also see his hands so hes clearly a human, but the guy never makes a sound when he gets hurt, and he doesnt die or seem like he cant die. Therefore people legit think hes evil incarnate
@@GingerZombie29 he reminds me of more of a hitman in that sense. he will eliminate any targets posing as a barricade from getting his target rather than just spotting someone and feeling like murdering them. No aim, no motive.
There are people like Michael in real life. Seemingly normal people who just snap for no apparent reason and just kill. When they get arrested, they offer no response or no emotion toward their crime. To me, Michael is scarily realistic (other than the immortality part). I like to think that he is pure evil and like Sith in Star Wars, that evil keeps him alive.
Siths aren't evil do not compare star wars to halloween. Two completely different genres of movies and nothing's the same. There immortality with the jedis and they are just as bad as the dark side. Do some research
@@tr3vk4m nah just a star wars fan. Who looks deeply into the actions of both sides. The dark side and the light side are one in the same they both want to achieve the same goal
Hey, Moose here with a correction: As Laurie's daughter, Jamie is Michael's niece, not cousin. Doesn't make it any less gross that she had Michael's baby in the Producer's Cut!
@@omori5768 because he technically isn't Freddy's world just operates on fear so Freddy pretty much yanked out Jason's childhood fear of drowning and engulfed him with it
I always liked the family ties reason he kills, but not necessarily because of a curse/cult, but just has no reason for, he kills his family and thats it. Other kills are a bonus for him.
How can michael drive a car how can michael drive a car, everybody always has a problem with michael being able to drive car. ITS NOT THAT COMPLICATED. Pedal go vroom, D for drive. Car go forward.
There's a very fine line between insanity and genius, and I think it's safe to say that Michael is a very intelligent person, despite the terrible motivations in his actions, at least a tactical genius in the way he moves and strategically places himself to sneak up on people and so on. I'm sure someone with his intellect could figure out how to operate a car.
I’ve always thought the best explanation is he wants to capture the feeling he felt why he murdered his sister when he was 6. The feeling of dominance and being alive. He has been obsessed with that feeling since 1963 and its always on his mind. So much so that he doesn’t even speak to others. He only thinks and stares
The shape kills because he kills. He is a force of nature, a pure evil and there is realy no reason in what he does. Thats exactly the reason John Carpenter stated
@TheSingularity He really shouldn't have. I would have also had him kill Laurie when he burst his arms through the door after almost killing her the first time. Both would have been utterly shocking.
You guy's really don't know the shape, when he was 6, he not only killed his sister Judith, but in Smith'sgroove several death's occurred and it was all his fault.
@@epm1012 I wrote this comment before ive seen newest halloween (they didnt play it until 26th in my country). Yes that's intresting, but maybe he thought that killing sick and newborns wouldnt be bad, as both wouldnt understand it and wouldnt fell it? so in this meaning he woulndt do things evil for him? this part is realy hard to explain tbh
I once read the actual novel of Halloween, and in the beginning of the book it spoke of a story of the Festival of Samhain and the Druids/Celts that celebrated it, back in ancient times. A Celt man who was disfigured and longed for the affection of the local Celt Princess with whom he wore a mask to hide his disfigured face and with that mask on he approached her and she became infatuated with him until he removed his mask and she shunned him away because of his disfigurement. So during the ancient Festival of Samhain later on that day, the Celt Princess and her family arranged the marriage of the Princess and a Celt nobleman, that left the disfigured man with the mask with a envious, murderous rage that he eventually carried out the action during the Festival and brutally murdered the Princess and her soon to be groom as a result the Celt families killed that disfigured man but his evil spirit and curse was passed down throughout the lineage of that Celt klan and tribe throughout the millennium, so for me I definitely thought the Curse of Thorn was going back to the roots of the origin of why Michael Myers was cursed to kill!!! Jmo
I love the rob zombies version it gives a more realistic vibe to it like a person can actually become like Michael in real life by having an abusive childhood
My personal favorites are Leather Face and Michael. Leather Face's motive is to kill people for his family, and he's a cannibal who wears peoples faces. And Michael was a child who got a curse to kill people and was a human who killed. They were both similar; one had a curse and the other had a family of cannibals.
Michael not having any established motive or reason is what makes him the most terrifying of the slasher villains. It's an innate curiosity we all have to understand why someone would do what they do so when faced with a person that kills for no purpose it completely severs them from having any connection to humanity. It makes us unable to relate in any way to their actions. Jason kills out of revenge, Freddy kills out of ego, Leatherface kills out of fear and survival, Michael kills for the sake of ending another person's life. There's no way around that, there's no way to get through because there's nothing more to him. That is pure evil.
I doubt that he even sees it as ending a life. Like, he is so far out of humanity, that he doesn't see other people as actually people, just objects. I doibt that he even sees himself as human. More so, I don't think he really wants to, or doesn't want to, kill people. He is so disassociated that he has no desire either way, he just simply kills. Almost like he's been programmed to do just that, kill. Why?? Who cares?? It's what he does. And I think this is really what makes him the most interesting, and terrifying slasher of all time.
Clarence Gutsy He is the physical manifestation of the grim reaper.. This is why Don’t Fear the Reaper is the signature Halloween song.. The veil is very thin between the living and the dead of Halloween night.. He simply crosses people’s souls into the spirit world.. It’s hinted it’s nothing to fear.. The unknown is what we actually fear
Clarence Gutsy excellent comment! The mystery is what makes it terrifying, nobody being able to come up with a reason - not even him being "crazy" because he isn't in the actual sense of the word. He's just pure evil as you say, and that's why he's my favorite horror movie villain.
Everyone asks "Who is the shape?" "What is the shape?" "Where is the shape?" "Why is the shape?" "How is the shape?" But nobody asks "When is the shape?"
I saw the new Halloween movie and it was really great, I absolutely loved it! I’ve honestly loved every Michael Myers film because he happens to be my favorite slasher but I can’t help but disagree with how people say Rob Zombies version takes away all the “scariness” of Michael. Rob Zombies versions were honestly my favorite (no shade to the originals: I still love them too and they are fantastic) because it actually provided in depth background into Michaels psyche, and how his abusive childhood turned him into a ruthless, terrifying killer who has a vendetta against his family but at the same time still kills just to kill. For me personally it brings Michaels character more to life and makes everything feel so much more real and practical which is all the more terrifying to me. Plus, in my opinion, the thought of Michael just killing to kill honestly isn’t all that scary to me because it just makes thing pointless, in my eyes, which can be quite frustrating and the curse thing just seems silly and very impractical to me (again, no offense to anybody I’m just explaining) which kind of makes it just any another supernatural-slasher horror movie in my eyes, kind of like Freddy. Rob Zombies versions on the other hand added depth to Michaels character like we haven’t seen before. It gave him an intense background and showed people just how crucial a persons childhood is to their developing psyche, and it gave the consequences of what can happen when a child grows up in an abusive, toxic environment: it gave Michael purpose whilst also just intensifying his need for bloodshed that much more, and it made Michael truly real, in my opinion, which is terrifying in itself. Once again, I am not bashing the original movies or anything: I love all Michael Myers movies, I’m just explaining why I feel like Rob Zombies versions don’t get enough credit.
I loved all the films, if I had to pick the worst it'd be H20 (didn't really have correlation to the other 4 films after 1-2) Besides in 1-6 (obviously except for 3 because that's not based off him) he had a curse when he was a boy and he had to kill people because of the force making him. In curse it's great because they expanded that and his cousin nearly took him away from the light until she made contact with him. And Rob Zombies version took a whole new take on it; and that it's because he's been abused and had a rough childhood that forced him to kill. So if you ask me I'd pick Halloween 1-6, well specifically 1 because it's more better then the others.
The depth they go into Michael upbringing and stuff makes him less scary because it makes you feel sympathetic for him. I loved zombies Halloween (not 2) but it takes away from why he is the shape.
I agree. To me it shows what COULD happen if you have a BAD seed born and subjected to a violent upbringing. I think we've seen this very outcome in several REAL life serial killers. Which is why I think showing the background story the way Rob Zombie did, makes it more realistic and terrifying! 😬. (I.E. Charles Manson, Ted Bundy Yada Yada yada...) Zombies version needed to be the ORIGINAL then people wouldn't judge it so harshly, they would see it for how truly great a film it is. Instead they just wanted him to do a carbon copy of the original. WHICH THANK GOD (AND ROB) HE DIDN'T!!!!
I mean, they left it up to you to decide which timeline you prefer. But I agree with the video that him having no motivation to kill makes him more terrifying.
Short answer. He has no motives he does what he does cause he can... He is the definition of evil. That's why he is much more interesting than Jason, Freddy, and leatherface. Sure michael might not have the cool looks like Jason but hey he never went to space. Michael may not have had the creepy/funny quips like Freddy but hey he also never promoted the power glove. Michael may not have the big loveable lug vibe leatherface has but at least his franchise isn't a complete mess.. A half mess sure but not as much as the texas movies
I believe the last reason (No Reason) is exactly the one that will always reasonate with us the most. For me, it's no surprise that the new movie (2018) removed the sibling's backstory. We always try to find and understand the reasoning behind the behavior of those who don't act according to what we expect. The same applies to psychopaths. And that's completely natural. But having a reason behind the killer's motivation help us to understand the mythos and amplify the mythology, not necessarily be more scared. When we see that Michael does what he does because he simply likes it or because he decided to end lives someday is completely terrifying because represents in practice something that denies every sense of logic or humanity that keeps us safe from this kind of behavior in theory. It's like that line from "The Strangers" when Liv Tyler asks to the killers why they're doing what they're doing: "Because you were home." That's the beauty of what John Carpenter and Debra Hill created 40 years ago.
@Xavier Gowon, From what I've seen in Part 6 it is explained that he heard a voice that told him to kill his family at that age and he has been killing again for so long thanks to the voice who happened to be revealed in part 6 as Dr. Wynn's voice.
@@garytaylor3880 Well Thorn is apart of his mythology, and the original timeline Parts 1-6 P-Cut says that it was the Curse of Thorn. H20 and Resurrection were just made up timelines, and both RZ Halloween movies and Halloween 2018 were only made up ones too except done more poorly than H20 and Resurrection, since in those movies, Michael Myers is a normal mortal human and a wimp loser.
Michael Myers is PURE EVIL. That’s made very known in the original, which is all that matters to the new sequel that ignores all the other sequels. Michael Myers is inspired by a actual patient that John Carpenter met. Dr. Loomis’ description of Michael Myers as a child mirrors what John Carpenter saw. That’s why he didn’t like the remake from 2007. They humanized Michael Myers, which was a bad move.
MJ Jones I understand that someone would want to humanize a character, but the actual point of The Shape is that there is nothing behind the mask to humanize, he’s just evil. I saw the new one last night and it was solid.
zombie had to put his own spin the movie so i don't know why people bash it for not being like the original, did people really want a shot for shot remake like Psycho?
I kinda want to see Michael show the slightest bit of affection to something in Halloween ends,but then again,I like the merciless ‘see and kill’ motive Michael has
In latest one, he comes across kid that was being bullied by other kids. Then when bullied kid saw Michael he tearfully pleaded for his life. Michael walked away without harming the child.
I love how in Rob Zombies remake of Halloween, Michael just wants to be friends with his sister Laurie Strode instead of killing her. That's the only props I'm giving that movie though.
It’s always been scarier never knowing why. Take Rob Zombie’s for example: lifting the curtain and revealing too much killed all the mystique of Myers.
Rob Zombie's explanation for Michael's origin didn't make much sense to me. You don't just become a serial killer because your stepdad is an alcoholic and your mom is a stripper.
Severe autism coupled with a doctor whose outdated methods only isolated him more. Loomis gave up on Michael after five years leaving him locked away with a diagnosis of ‘evil’: the exact opposite how people with autism are treated today. Granted that autism wasn’t very understood in the 1960s and 1970s but Loomis hurt his patient more than he helped.
If Michael Myers just kills for the sake of killing he probably wouldn't return to the same city and the same house to try and kill the same person every Halloween he gets loose so I don't buy it and imo Rob Zombie's Halloween was awesome! I rank it right after the first one in terms of my favorite because it gives us a reason for why he's a complete nut job but it doesn't explain how he gained his unnatural abilities... Thanks for the upload!
Ifeanyi Ozoh true but he is always after a family member or maybe it's the house or town that he wants but most of his killings are not rando so he has a reason
All you have to do is look at Michael to know this. The mask that presents a blank expressionless face, generic overalls and that slow deliberate walk. He’s a blank canvas that you can project your worst fears upon.
@@onetruth37 exactly Jason is probably my favorite slasher because he has a logical motive killing the camp counselors who let him die and killed his mother i liked rob zombies Michael Myers because Michael had a logical motive and he wasn't just trying to kill lori for no reason rob zombies Halloween made me like Michael Myers so much more
I hated them personally, they would be really great if they were a stand alone thing that was about a different evil character, but I just think that Rob Zombie's versions don't make you think of Michael Myers and the Mysteriousness and the evil of him.
The rob zombie reboot actually made me look at Michael as something more than just a monster. There’s a very hurt person underneath that mask, who never got the love he needed. It doesn’t excuse what he does, but it certainly lends credence to what he becomes.
@@pixelatedtoast Exactly, in every person they have traits and characteristics that make them who they are. What is supposed to be scary about Myers is that he has none of these traits. He is what we would consider an embodiment of evil because he has no emotion or reason for what he does. Look at the Predator movie as and example, the late plot for the super killer was he won't try to harm you or kill you if you're unarmed. Although rarely used in the movies as a counter to it, it's still there and kind of takes away from the fear of the viewer because you think "oh they're only getting killed now because they themselves are now trying to kill the predator". But when you see Michael Myers and know he is killing for no reason and will kill you no matter what, it gives more of an incentive to run or be afraid. I think him being a simple mindless killer only in it for the blood and pleasure of killing makes him (or at least the idea of him) terrifying.
Ever noticed he doesn't just kill random civilians? He only really kills those that offend, insult or threaten him. He has plenty of chances to kill the kids and other random strangers on Halloween night, but ignores them. He only goes after Laurie and her friends, Loomis and the other hospital guards/nurses. Hell, he point-blank has the chance to kill two nurses outside the incubation ward; but because they're not a threat or a distraction to him, he just keeps going on to find Laurie.
I do agree that explaining too much kills the scary, but too little and it just starts to feel like lazy writing. And for the most part, “killing for no reason” doesn’t really fit with his actions in the movies. Most of his kills are people who were just kinda in the way, on his way to killing Laurie, or his little cousin. So he has some reasons
8:33 lmao. My scripts for a Halloween 9 and 10 were pulling new relatives out of my butt. Including making Sara from Resurrection be his cousin and teaming up with John Tate and baby Stephen from part 6, and Laurie surviving the fall from the roof at a final attempt to stop the cult
Can everyone just appreciate how this guy put so much research into this video but can’t pronounce a simple irish word hat would’ve taken 30 seconds to learn, like it’s not pronounced sam-hain it’s sow-in
I wish Laurie Strode was still the sister. The whole idea of "the sister that got away" is quite special. And tbh, every major slasher villain is always trying to kill someone related to them in some way. Name one motiveless slasher villain!? You can't!
Name one motiveless slasher villain? Michael Myers! In the original movie and new movies that is. That's what makes him special. That's what makes him unique.
I love the Halloween series, but honestly Michael "is just evil" doesn't make much sense. He always goes back to the same house, the same town, and even the same person. Even if you were to explain away that as happenstance, it doesn't explain how he can take multiple fatal wounds (like 5 bullets to the chest) and just keep going like it was nothing. The cult stuff sucked, but that at least had it make sense. Good upload, though
He only does that in the sequels that give him a motive. So far we haven't had a sequel where he's motionless. Only the first movie gave him that mystique. Which is why it was the only movie with Michael Myers that was supposed to exist. Even the sequel we're getting this year, I believe his motive is revenge. The original concept was a mysterious force of evil that could kill anyone, and we'll probably never get a sequel with that in mind.
I appreciate the rob zombie adaptation and it makes way more sense he killed animals cause that's a trait serial killers do have and makes the story much more believable despite all the super natural occurrences like micheal being so hard to kill
People Aren't supposed To get Serial killers when they look at them. Rob Zombie shown that alll killers have a twisted way of thinking. So everyone who is around saying "Because Carpenter said Michael is scary because he has no reason" is a flusk. Looking at Serial killers from a distance, all serial killers look like monsters without reason. But if you saw what was in their heads you know the truth. Carpenter fans need to see that Zombie fixed a fatal flaw that they keep saying is a trait. All killers have motives is more scary than anything without reason
One of the things I love about the original Halloween film is the attempted realism. Michael is ridiculously strong but not so strong that it can’t be explained, he survives very serious injuries but injuries that aren’t impossible to survive you’re left at the end of the film questioning is he a supernatural being, possessed by a ghost or demon or is he just an evil man and that is the most terrifying.
I like how he's just psychologically broken and tends to kill for no reason it's like explaining any kind of sickness that comes to a person it's just there.
Samhain is actually pronounced "sow-in." I agree with you though. I feel like Rob Zombie's background on Michael makes him less scary because I can put an emotion behind the kills, anger. It's more scary with no motive behind it.
For some reason I feel like the guy wearing the Michael Myers mask is fine as hell just by looking at the way he walks and does big shoulder and the the way he strangle people
The pure evil Michael is the best Michael. Not some backstory explaining his evil. The factor that keeps the viewer guessing is what makes it great. Along with the score, low lighting, and how Michael only walks and has no emotion or talks, just his breathing you sometimes hear. And throughout the movie the viewer is always wondering where Michael is! And on top of all that Michael seems to never die! It's the true Boogeyman! Horror masterpiece!!!
I really would like to see Michael Myers given a mystery much like the Joker that no one, not even himself knows why he kills. People come up with all sorts of theories on why Michael kills (such as was he abused, is he the antichrist or the personification of the grim reaper, did he inherit it from his family) but every time it seems like it could be it Michael does something that instantly deconfirms the theory.
I hate the whole "He kills for no reason, pure evil, duh" response. To me that's just lazy, they just couldn't come up with an intriguing enough reason. Somehow it still worked for the first film. Great video though, and Halloween '78 is still my favorite horror flick.
Until Dawna I think it’s a amazing reason it gives us a sense of mystery and fear, he kills because he’s evil no one understands why he kills and that’s what Michael Myers is a killer nothing more and nothing less
Seems lazy until you realize that’s most killers motivation. They don’t do it because of some horrible backstory, they do it because their psychopaths. Micheal Myers is a psychopath, and he doesn’t need a reason to be one.
Yo bro go back and watch Halloween 4 and 5 you'll discover in the fourth one Jamie is Michael's niece not cousin do your research before you make these videos LOL
When he said Michael is an unkillable force of nature it reminded me of Jason Voorhees. "Jason is a terrifying force of nature that cannot be stopped."
Micheal Myers does have a motive. He doesn't just kill to kill. Which is why he is always pursuing his sister and family and will kill anything that gets in his way. If he just kills random people then the new 2018 sequel wouldn't make sense why he let a lot of people go....such as the little kids. Why he wants to kill his family off is still a mystery.
@Rookie In search of his sister. I feel like he would have just gone house to house or just killed people on the street. He'd have been way too busy murdering people to be chasing after his sister.
@Rookie I still feel like he has a motive haha but what that motive is I can't say. All good though, the new 2018 was awesome and happy that it didn't disappoint~
"How can Michael Myers drive a car?" I actually read a great comment that posets a theory. They say Michael's slow and observant nature lends itself to being able to pick up the basics of how to drive just from being in cars with other people, for example when he'd be driven to school.
Let me see if I can turn this video into two sentences or less the reason Michael Myers kills is because either the curse of thorn or the victim got away so he's just killing her
1:56. Jamie is his niece, not his cousin. The Celtic/Druidic curse was hinted at in Halloween 1 and 2 and was told in depth in the prologue of the Halloween novelization. 6:10. He is Michael's mom's boyfriend, not his stepfather. 6:30. He wants to reunite with his sister, his only family. He doesn't want to be her friend. Heis wants to be with the only person that never hurt or betrayed him. He may have killed his sister and her boyfriend and his mom's boyfriend to protect his little sister. Boo was just his nickname for her, not her real name.
Ah yes... how the human imagination is more terrifying than any script could ever hope to give, and with no reason means there is no warning. He do be killin though 😳
As stated by Robert Thompson "If you remember, he didn't kill the Smith's Grove patients in the first movie either, or over 90% of the people he actually encountered. Michael has never been just a mindless killing machine like Jason Vorhees, he's always done things methodically and with a purpose. He uses those around him to his advantage and kills when he needs to accomplish something. For example, he didn't kill the hundreds of people roaming the streets, instead, he killed the people who could potentially get in his way and who were necessary to his goals. It's why he such a terrifying character, he's consciously doing these things to achieve something, unlike Jason Vorhees, Leatherface, Freddi Krueger, and even Michael between movies 2-Resurrection. Michael is trying to achieve a goal, not just wandering around killing random people for no reason. Every person he killed in the new movie, he killed for a reason. The guards, he needed to escape. The kid and his dad, he needed their truck. The mechanic, he needed his jumpsuit. The bloggers, he needed his mask. The woman with the baby, he needed her knife. The woman alone in her house, he needed a place to stake out. Vicky and her boyfriend, he needed to inflict emotional damage on Allyson. Allyson's friend, emotional damage to Allyson and he was in Michael's way and interacting with him. The doctor, he didn't want another Loomis. The sheriff's deputies, he needed their car. Ray, again, emotional damage. None of these kills were random or mindless, they all served Michael's purpose. Michael Myers is terrifying BECAUSE he's humanized, the fact that he didn't kill hundreds of people proves that and makes him more terrifying. He's calculated, he knows what he's doing."
because the body gives you an increase of dopamine when eating high value food to encourage you to eat more, dogs bark to communicate with other dogs and we sleep to regain energy and process information gained in the day
Honestly I don’t like that Michael is being used by the cultists I like the idea of thorn but not in the way they made it it would explain his terrifying motives and his supernatural power and it explains why he can get shot and can’t die it would be amazing if they just didn’t add the him being controlled by the cultists but rather him having thorn and it just makes him kill on his own pure evil motives
Chaos Flame With all due respect I agree but the Thorn Michael can actually be seen as a protagonist being he’s forced to kill his family to prevent calamity.. Remember he was crying at the end of H5 cuz he didn’t actually wanna kill Jaime
S. Wright Besides that even if he were immortal without the cult thing he’s still only one individual thus still a monumental underdog.. Knowing he also has help makes him much more scary imo Still I’d have used the original idea making the man in Black another Myers like character.. So why not remake H6 with that idea
S. Wright yes agreed it makes him non human which is all the more terrifying just this figure specter filled with pure evil and powered by this cursed mark that makes him kill everyone in sight and kill his own family that aspect is what scares me cause you almost forget he’s a guy in the mask sometimes but when you take that away he’s more creepy like almost he’s not even human anymore it’s something non human in his soul using him as a tool for destruction
Chaos Flame And the whole cult thing fits in with the holiday more than just coincidence he’s out on Halloween.. It started with H2 when he broke into the schoolhouse

There are people like Michael in real life. Seemingly normal people who just snap for no apparent reason and just kill. When they get arrested, they offer no response or no emotion toward their crime. To me, Michael is scarily realistic (other than the immortality part). I like to think that he is pure evil and like Sith in Star Wars, that evil keeps him alive.

Because. . . :')
@@omori5768 because he technically isn't Freddy's world just operates on fear so Freddy pretty much yanked out Jason's childhood fear of drowning and engulfed him with it

Yea because jason didn’t swim in parts 6,7,8 and freddy vs Jason
I always liked the family ties reason he kills, but not necessarily because of a curse/cult, but just has no reason for, he kills his family and thats it. Other kills are a bonus for him.
Same it always seemed creepy to me that he'd do anything to kill any living relative.
He should of just stabbed the cult for a funny twist
Nope
Other kills are people in his way
Good points. Myers is scary as hell on top of that lol.. when I first saw Halloween 6 I was up for days lol

How can michael drive a car how can michael drive a car, everybody always has a problem with michael being able to drive car. ITS NOT THAT COMPLICATED. Pedal go vroom, D for drive. Car go forward.
Dont forget when he used a double barrel shotgun and shove that girl in the air instead of him pulling the trigger😂
Car? Michael Myers would walked that car out
A lot of older cars from the 70's and 80's are manual
There's a very fine line between insanity and genius, and I think it's safe to say that Michael is a very intelligent person, despite the terrible motivations in his actions, at least a tactical genius in the way he moves and strategically places himself to sneak up on people and so on. I'm sure someone with his intellect could figure out how to operate a car.
The curse of micheal the black man showed hom
I’ve always thought the best explanation is he wants to capture the feeling he felt why he murdered his sister when he was 6. The feeling of dominance and being alive. He has been obsessed with that feeling since 1963 and its always on his mind. So much so that he doesn’t even speak to others. He only thinks and stares
Bruh
That could make sense on a serial killer level for sure. That first rush of death, could be his motivating factor that’s more sub conscious
The shape kills because he kills. He is a force of nature, a pure evil and there is realy no reason in what he does. Thats exactly the reason John Carpenter stated
@TheSingularity rob zombie halloween is not canon
lokojo122 He spared a baby in the very canon Halloween 2018 as well.
@TheSingularity
He really shouldn't have. I would have also had him kill Laurie when he burst his arms through the door after almost killing her the first time.
Both would have been utterly shocking.
You guy's really don't know the shape, when he was 6, he not only killed his sister Judith, but in Smith'sgroove several death's occurred and it was all his fault.
@@epm1012 I wrote this comment before ive seen newest halloween (they didnt play it until 26th in my country). Yes that's intresting, but maybe he thought that killing sick and newborns wouldnt be bad, as both wouldnt understand it and wouldnt fell it? so in this meaning he woulndt do things evil for him? this part is realy hard to explain tbh
I once read the actual novel of Halloween, and in the beginning of the book it spoke of a story of the Festival of Samhain and the Druids/Celts that celebrated it, back in ancient times. A Celt man who was disfigured and longed for the affection of the local Celt Princess with whom he wore a mask to hide his disfigured face and with that mask on he approached her and she became infatuated with him until he removed his mask and she shunned him away because of his disfigurement. So during the ancient Festival of Samhain later on that day, the Celt Princess and her family arranged the marriage of the Princess and a Celt nobleman, that left the disfigured man with the mask with a envious, murderous rage that he eventually carried out the action during the Festival and brutally murdered the Princess and her soon to be groom as a result the Celt families killed that disfigured man but his evil spirit and curse was passed down throughout the lineage of that Celt klan and tribe throughout the millennium, so for me I definitely thought the Curse of Thorn was going back to the roots of the origin of why Michael Myers was cursed to kill!!! Jmo
I love the rob zombies version it gives a more realistic vibe to it like a person can actually become like Michael in real life by having an abusive childhood
It sucks.
The RZ Michael Myers is the only one who isn't pure evil due to his backstory.
Jamie was Michaels niece not cousin
Thank You. Im glad i wasnt the only one who noticed
Nice 👍🏻 was hoping someone else caught that mistake.
I’m not the only one who caught that
But in the actual sequel lorie isn’t his sis and Jamie isn’t real-

Jason and Michael will always be my favorite
Same I like leatherface , Crowley and art the clown a ton as well.
Me too Michael and Jason are the best!
🎃
Saw and Jason for me.
My personal favorites are Leather Face and Michael. Leather Face's motive is to kill people for his family, and he's a cannibal who wears peoples faces. And Michael was a child who got a curse to kill people and was a human who killed. They were both similar; one had a curse and the other had a family of cannibals.
“See, it's a lot scarier when there's no motive, Sid.” - Billy Loomis, Scream (1996)
Yes indeed, I did say that to Sid…
Michael not having any established motive or reason is what makes him the most terrifying of the slasher villains. It's an innate curiosity we all have to understand why someone would do what they do so when faced with a person that kills for no purpose it completely severs them from having any connection to humanity. It makes us unable to relate in any way to their actions. Jason kills out of revenge, Freddy kills out of ego, Leatherface kills out of fear and survival, Michael kills for the sake of ending another person's life. There's no way around that, there's no way to get through because there's nothing more to him. That is pure evil.
I doubt that he even sees it as ending a life. Like, he is so far out of humanity, that he doesn't see other people as actually people, just objects. I doibt that he even sees himself as human. More so, I don't think he really wants to, or doesn't want to, kill people. He is so disassociated that he has no desire either way, he just simply kills. Almost like he's been programmed to do just that, kill. Why?? Who cares?? It's what he does. And I think this is really what makes him the most interesting, and terrifying slasher of all time.
Clarence Gutsy He is the physical manifestation of the grim reaper.. This is why Don’t Fear the Reaper is the signature Halloween song.. The veil is very thin between the living and the dead of Halloween night.. He simply crosses people’s souls into the spirit world.. It’s hinted it’s nothing to fear.. The unknown is what we actually fear
freddy kills out of revenge too, he targets the kids of the people that burned him alive
Clarence Gutsy excellent comment! The mystery is what makes it terrifying, nobody being able to come up with a reason - not even him being "crazy" because he isn't in the actual sense of the word. He's just pure evil as you say, and that's why he's my favorite horror movie villain.
@@MikeG82 Except it wasn't just those kids. He continued killing teenagers even after he got his revenge.

I saw the new Halloween movie and it was really great, I absolutely loved it! I’ve honestly loved every Michael Myers film because he happens to be my favorite slasher but I can’t help but disagree with how people say Rob Zombies version takes away all the “scariness” of Michael.
Rob Zombies versions were honestly my favorite (no shade to the originals: I still love them too and they are fantastic) because it actually provided in depth background into Michaels psyche, and how his abusive childhood turned him into a ruthless, terrifying killer who has a vendetta against his family but at the same time still kills just to kill. For me personally it brings Michaels character more to life and makes everything feel so much more real and practical which is all the more terrifying to me.
Plus, in my opinion, the thought of Michael just killing to kill honestly isn’t all that scary to me because it just makes thing pointless, in my eyes, which can be quite frustrating and the curse thing just seems silly and very impractical to me (again, no offense to anybody I’m just explaining) which kind of makes it just any another supernatural-slasher horror movie in my eyes, kind of like Freddy.
Rob Zombies versions on the other hand added depth to Michaels character like we haven’t seen before. It gave him an intense background and showed people just how crucial a persons childhood is to their developing psyche, and it gave the consequences of what can happen when a child grows up in an abusive, toxic environment: it gave Michael purpose whilst also just intensifying his need for bloodshed that much more, and it made Michael truly real, in my opinion, which is terrifying in itself.
Once again, I am not bashing the original movies or anything: I love all Michael Myers movies, I’m just explaining why I feel like Rob Zombies versions don’t get enough credit.
Sierra Elise same I think a story line to Michael is better and realistic so it makes things scarier
I loved all the films, if I had to pick the worst it'd be H20 (didn't really have correlation to the other 4 films after 1-2) Besides in 1-6 (obviously except for 3 because that's not based off him) he had a curse when he was a boy and he had to kill people because of the force making him. In curse it's great because they expanded that and his cousin nearly took him away from the light until she made contact with him. And Rob Zombies version took a whole new take on it; and that it's because he's been abused and had a rough childhood that forced him to kill. So if you ask me I'd pick Halloween 1-6, well specifically 1 because it's more better then the others.
The depth they go into Michael upbringing and stuff makes him less scary because it makes you feel sympathetic for him. I loved zombies Halloween (not 2) but it takes away from why he is the shape.
I agree. To me it shows what COULD happen if you have a BAD seed born and subjected to a violent upbringing. I think we've seen this very outcome in several REAL life serial killers. Which is why I think showing the background story the way Rob Zombie did, makes it more realistic and terrifying! 😬. (I.E. Charles Manson, Ted Bundy Yada Yada yada...) Zombies version needed to be the ORIGINAL then people wouldn't judge it so harshly, they would see it for how truly great a film it is. Instead they just wanted him to do a carbon copy of the original. WHICH THANK GOD (AND ROB) HE DIDN'T!!!!

I mean, they left it up to you to decide which timeline you prefer. But I agree with the video that him having no motivation to kill makes him more terrifying.
Watch the first movie Dr Loomis simplifies it, there is nothing behind his eyes but pure evil. There you go easy he's just evil.
welcome to youtube
Actually 10 mins
Short answer. He has no motives he does what he does cause he can... He is the definition of evil. That's why he is much more interesting than Jason, Freddy, and leatherface. Sure michael might not have the cool looks like Jason but hey he never went to space. Michael may not have had the creepy/funny quips like Freddy but hey he also never promoted the power glove. Michael may not have the big loveable lug vibe leatherface has but at least his franchise isn't a complete mess.. A half mess sure but not as much as the texas movies
This is not short 🚫
You’re totally truly right
Nope,he's a puppet for a cult...that's what's canon.
I think Michael killing for no reason makes him sound like a stupid mindless killer.

@@legoshix2843 what?
I thought he was her brother
I'm lost
I believe the last reason (No Reason) is exactly the one that will always reasonate with us the most. For me, it's no surprise that the new movie (2018) removed the sibling's backstory. We always try to find and understand the reasoning behind the behavior of those who don't act according to what we expect. The same applies to psychopaths. And that's completely natural. But having a reason behind the killer's motivation help us to understand the mythos and amplify the mythology, not necessarily be more scared. When we see that Michael does what he does because he simply likes it or because he decided to end lives someday is completely terrifying because represents in practice something that denies every sense of logic or humanity that keeps us safe from this kind of behavior in theory. It's like that line from "The Strangers" when Liv Tyler asks to the killers why they're doing what they're doing: "Because you were home." That's the beauty of what John Carpenter and Debra Hill created 40 years ago.
Probably the Curse of Thorn makes Michael Myers kill.
@Xavier Gowon, From what I've seen in Part 6 it is explained that he heard a voice that told him to kill his family at that age and he has been killing again for so long thanks to the voice who happened to be revealed in part 6 as Dr. Wynn's voice.
@@thehalloweenheavymetalwarrior did you even watch the vid? That was retconned
@@thehalloweenheavymetalwarrior thats an alternate timeline. In the original film he was not cursed by cult of thorn
@@garytaylor3880 Well Thorn is apart of his mythology, and the original timeline Parts 1-6 P-Cut says that it was the Curse of Thorn. H20 and Resurrection were just made up timelines, and both RZ Halloween movies and Halloween 2018 were only made up ones too except done more poorly than H20 and Resurrection, since in those movies, Michael Myers is a normal mortal human and a wimp loser.
Michael Myers is PURE EVIL. That’s made very known in the original, which is all that matters to the new sequel that ignores all the other sequels. Michael Myers is inspired by a actual patient that John Carpenter met. Dr. Loomis’ description of Michael Myers as a child mirrors what John Carpenter saw. That’s why he didn’t like the remake from 2007. They humanized Michael Myers, which was a bad move.
Your right
MJ Jones I understand that someone would want to humanize a character, but the actual point of The Shape is that there is nothing behind the mask to humanize, he’s just evil. I saw the new one last night and it was solid.
zombie had to put his own spin the movie so i don't know why people bash it for not being like the original, did people really want a shot for shot remake like Psycho?
MJ Jones so true
What kind of person impregnates do their niece
I kinda want to see Michael show the slightest bit of affection to something in Halloween ends,but then again,I like the merciless ‘see and kill’ motive Michael has
In latest one, he comes across kid that was being bullied by other kids. Then when bullied kid saw Michael he tearfully pleaded for his life. Michael walked away without harming the child.
Michael Myers is a human being, how can he survive so much damage?

I love how in Rob Zombies remake of Halloween, Michael just wants to be friends with his sister Laurie Strode instead of killing her. That's the only props I'm giving that movie though.
It’s always been scarier never knowing why. Take Rob Zombie’s for example: lifting the curtain and revealing too much killed all the mystique of Myers.

Severe autism coupled with a doctor whose outdated methods only isolated him more.

@@vulpixle9659 I agree. I can see why some people don't like it, but I think it's a more sensible and logical approach for his motive.

I hated them personally, they would be really great if they were a stand alone thing that was about a different evil character, but I just think that Rob Zombie's versions don't make you think of Michael Myers and the Mysteriousness and the evil of him.
I honestly liked his remakes more than the originals.
Who's watching the AMC Fear Fest
The rob zombie reboot actually made me look at Michael as something more than just a monster. There’s a very hurt person underneath that mask, who never got the love he needed.
It doesn’t excuse what he does, but it certainly lends credence to what he becomes.
Makes a video about why Michael kills.
Complains about how the motives and answering the why he kills on previous movies is random.
Difference is he is technically human so a motive makes more sense sure the whole pure evil thing is a bit scary but I enjoy more realism
ped ro yea I agree tbh I’m more interested in the killer’s motives rather than being scared
@@vayronaaron
He doesnt have motives. He just does it because he wants to. Is that a clear motive?
@@pixelatedtoast Exactly, in every person they have traits and characteristics that make them who they are. What is supposed to be scary about Myers is that he has none of these traits. He is what we would consider an embodiment of evil because he has no emotion or reason for what he does. Look at the Predator movie as and example, the late plot for the super killer was he won't try to harm you or kill you if you're unarmed. Although rarely used in the movies as a counter to it, it's still there and kind of takes away from the fear of the viewer because you think "oh they're only getting killed now because they themselves are now trying to kill the predator". But when you see Michael Myers and know he is killing for no reason and will kill you no matter what, it gives more of an incentive to run or be afraid. I think him being a simple mindless killer only in it for the blood and pleasure of killing makes him (or at least the idea of him) terrifying.
Plenty of serial killers kill for no reason.
ped ro I agree, 💯%
If Jamie is lories daughter that make her his niece not his cousin
Ever noticed he doesn't just kill random civilians?
He only really kills those that offend, insult or threaten him.
He has plenty of chances to kill the kids and other random strangers on Halloween night, but ignores them.
He only goes after Laurie and her friends, Loomis and the other hospital guards/nurses. Hell, he point-blank has the chance to kill two nurses outside the incubation ward; but because they're not a threat or a distraction to him, he just keeps going on to find Laurie.
not true at all
@@jeremyforeman3216
It's literally right there in every movie.
I do agree that explaining too much kills the scary, but too little and it just starts to feel like lazy writing. And for the most part, “killing for no reason” doesn’t really fit with his actions in the movies. Most of his kills are people who were just kinda in the way, on his way to killing Laurie, or his little cousin. So he has some reasons
8:33 lmao. My scripts for a Halloween 9 and 10 were pulling new relatives out of my butt. Including making Sara from Resurrection be his cousin and teaming up with John Tate and baby Stephen from part 6, and Laurie surviving the fall from the roof at a final attempt to stop the cult

I wish Laurie Strode was still the sister.
The whole idea of "the sister that got away" is quite special. And tbh, every major slasher villain is always trying to kill someone related to them in some way. Name one motiveless slasher villain!? You can't!
Name one motiveless slasher villain? Michael Myers! In the original movie and new movies that is. That's what makes him special. That's what makes him unique.
I love the Halloween series, but honestly Michael "is just evil" doesn't make much sense. He always goes back to the same house, the same town, and even the same person. Even if you were to explain away that as happenstance, it doesn't explain how he can take multiple fatal wounds (like 5 bullets to the chest) and just keep going like it was nothing. The cult stuff sucked, but that at least had it make sense. Good upload, though
He only does that in the sequels that give him a motive. So far we haven't had a sequel where he's motionless. Only the first movie gave him that mystique. Which is why it was the only movie with Michael Myers that was supposed to exist. Even the sequel we're getting this year, I believe his motive is revenge. The original concept was a mysterious force of evil that could kill anyone, and we'll probably never get a sequel with that in mind.
@@Jack-rk7jc his motive isn't revenge he's not after laurie

Michael once told me why he does it back the year 1978 in Haddonfield, Illinois. He said all of the deaths were fake until loomis shot him 6 times.
I appreciate the rob zombie adaptation and it makes way more sense he killed animals cause that's a trait serial killers do have and makes the story much more believable despite all the super natural occurrences like micheal being so hard to kill
People Aren't supposed To get Serial killers when they look at them. Rob Zombie shown that alll killers have a twisted way of thinking. So everyone who is around saying "Because Carpenter said Michael is scary because he has no reason" is a flusk. Looking at Serial killers from a distance, all serial killers look like monsters without reason. But if you saw what was in their heads you know the truth. Carpenter fans need to see that Zombie fixed a fatal flaw that they keep saying is a trait. All killers have motives is more scary than anything without reason
One of the things I love about the original Halloween film is the attempted realism. Michael is ridiculously strong but not so strong that it can’t be explained, he survives very serious injuries but injuries that aren’t impossible to survive you’re left at the end of the film questioning is he a supernatural being, possessed by a ghost or demon or is he just an evil man and that is the most terrifying.
I like how he's just psychologically broken and tends to kill for no reason it's like explaining any kind of sickness that comes to a person it's just there.

I agree with you though. I feel like Rob Zombie's background on Michael makes him less scary because I can put an emotion behind the kills, anger. It's more scary with no motive behind it.
For some reason I feel like the guy wearing the Michael Myers mask is fine as hell just by looking at the way he walks and does big shoulder and the the way he strangle people
I find it to be more scary that he doesn’t have a reason he just does it out of pure evil
in my opinion, the Halloween series should be in this order. 1978, 1981, H20, 2018 Halloween, and 2021 Halloween kills.
The pure evil Michael is the best Michael. Not some backstory explaining his evil. The factor that keeps the viewer guessing is what makes it great. Along with the score, low lighting, and how Michael only walks and has no emotion or talks, just his breathing you sometimes hear. And throughout the movie the viewer is always wondering where Michael is! And on top of all that Michael seems to never die! It's the true Boogeyman! Horror masterpiece!!!
Would have been wild if Silver Shamrock made the masks Michael used.
i think Rob Zombie's version is the scariest one. The actor is frickin tall. It also kinda make sense why he is unstoppable.

I really would like to see Michael Myers given a mystery much like the Joker that no one, not even himself knows why he kills.
People come up with all sorts of theories on why Michael kills (such as was he abused, is he the antichrist or the personification of the grim reaper, did he inherit it from his family) but every time it seems like it could be it Michael does something that instantly deconfirms the theory.
THEY'RE BAAAACK!
FILMING NOW.
I like Rob Zombie's explanation the best tbh
I liked how they showed him as sympathetic and a man who is just lashing out and he’s relatable then. I liked how rob zombie did it.
I hate the whole "He kills for no reason, pure evil, duh" response. To me that's just lazy, they just couldn't come up with an intriguing enough reason. Somehow it still worked for the first film. Great video though, and Halloween '78 is still my favorite horror flick.
Until Dawna I think it’s a amazing reason it gives us a sense of mystery and fear, he kills because he’s evil no one understands why he kills and that’s what Michael Myers is a killer nothing more and nothing less
You do know there are some killers who kill just because they like it right?
Seems lazy until you realize that’s most killers motivation. They don’t do it because of some horrible backstory, they do it because their psychopaths. Micheal Myers is a psychopath, and he doesn’t need a reason to be one.
The fact that he kills for no reason is the most scariest of all no motive just death hes not a man hes a monster pure evil

Great job on ur speeches michael
Micheal Myers does have a motive. He doesn't just kill to kill. Which is why he is always pursuing his sister and family and will kill anything that gets in his way. If he just kills random people then the new 2018 sequel wouldn't make sense why he let a lot of people go....such as the little kids. Why he wants to kill his family off is still a mystery.
@Rookie In search of his sister. I feel like he would have just gone house to house or just killed people on the street. He'd have been way too busy murdering people to be chasing after his sister.
@Rookie This is new news to me. I see...so I guess Myers still remembers her and wants revenge? Thanks for that bit of info~
@Rookie I still feel like he has a motive haha but what that motive is I can't say. All good though, the new 2018 was awesome and happy that it didn't disappoint~
Wait
*I thought John Wick was the BoogieMan!*
He's the one you sent to kill the boogeyman.
😂
"How can Michael Myers drive a car?"
I actually read a great comment that posets a theory. They say Michael's slow and observant nature lends itself to being able to pick up the basics of how to drive just from being in cars with other people, for example when he'd be driven to school.
Just watched the new one. It’s so much better than I thought it would be and you’re right on.
Let me see if I can turn this video into two sentences or less the reason Michael Myers kills is because either the curse of thorn or the victim got away so he's just killing her
I love all Halloween movies. My favorite was from Rob Zombie only because it made it seem believable.
One of my favorites as well.
1:56. Jamie is his niece, not his cousin.
The Celtic/Druidic curse was hinted at in Halloween 1 and 2 and was told in depth in the prologue of the Halloween novelization.
6:10. He is Michael's mom's boyfriend, not his stepfather.
6:30. He wants to reunite with his sister, his only family. He doesn't want to be her friend. Heis wants to be with the only person that never hurt or betrayed him. He may have killed his sister and her boyfriend and his mom's boyfriend to protect his little sister. Boo was just his nickname for her, not her real name.
Richard Bradshaw 6:10 You’re really splitting hairs on that one.
@@epm1012 Just being accurate to the facts.
@@richardbradshaw2021 where was it hinted in halloween 1?
@@ifeanyiozoh5735 about what? The curse?
@@ifeanyiozoh5735 John Carpenter's Halloween 1 didn't have the curse storyline that was only 4-6 timeline
Ah yes... how the human imagination is more terrifying than any script could ever hope to give, and with no reason means there is no warning. He do be killin though 😳
As stated by Robert Thompson "If you remember, he didn't kill the Smith's Grove patients in the first movie either, or over 90% of the people he actually encountered. Michael has never been just a mindless killing machine like Jason Vorhees, he's always done things methodically and with a purpose. He uses those around him to his advantage and kills when he needs to accomplish something. For example, he didn't kill the hundreds of people roaming the streets, instead, he killed the people who could potentially get in his way and who were necessary to his goals. It's why he such a terrifying character, he's consciously doing these things to achieve something, unlike Jason Vorhees, Leatherface, Freddi Krueger, and even Michael between movies 2-Resurrection. Michael is trying to achieve a goal, not just wandering around killing random people for no reason. Every person he killed in the new movie, he killed for a reason.
The guards, he needed to escape.
The kid and his dad, he needed their truck.
The mechanic, he needed his jumpsuit.
The bloggers, he needed his mask.
The woman with the baby, he needed her knife.
The woman alone in her house, he needed a place to stake out.
Vicky and her boyfriend, he needed to inflict emotional damage on Allyson.
Allyson's friend, emotional damage to Allyson and he was in Michael's way and interacting with him.
The doctor, he didn't want another Loomis.
The sheriff's deputies, he needed their car.
Ray, again, emotional damage.
None of these kills were random or mindless, they all served Michael's purpose. Michael Myers is terrifying BECAUSE he's humanized, the fact that he didn't kill hundreds of people proves that and makes him more terrifying. He's calculated, he knows what he's doing."
It’s always “what’s Michael doing” not “how’s michael doing”
😢
Why do burgers taste good? Why do dogs bark?
Why do people sleep?
.......THEY JUST DO!
These questions all have answers wdym
They all have reasons as to why.
because the body gives you an increase of dopamine when eating high value food to encourage you to eat more, dogs bark to communicate with other dogs and we sleep to regain energy and process information gained in the day
Have none of you people never seen joe dirt??
also to heal
I got to meet Drew Shnied from Halloween 2018 at Crypticon 2019. His first time being a guest at a convention
Honestly I don’t like that Michael is being used by the cultists I like the idea of thorn but not in the way they made it it would explain his terrifying motives and his supernatural power and it explains why he can get shot and can’t die it would be amazing if they just didn’t add the him being controlled by the cultists but rather him having thorn and it just makes him kill on his own pure evil motives
Chaos Flame With all due respect I agree but the Thorn Michael can actually be seen as a protagonist being he’s forced to kill his family to prevent calamity.. Remember he was crying at the end of H5 cuz he didn’t actually wanna kill Jaime
S. Wright Besides that even if he were immortal without the cult thing he’s still only one individual thus still a monumental underdog.. Knowing he also has help makes him much more scary imo Still I’d have used the original idea making the man in Black another Myers like character.. So why not remake H6 with that idea
S. Wright yes agreed it makes him non human which is all the more terrifying just this figure specter filled with pure evil and powered by this cursed mark that makes him kill everyone in sight and kill his own family that aspect is what scares me cause you almost forget he’s a guy in the mask sometimes but when you take that away he’s more creepy like almost he’s not even human anymore it’s something non human in his soul using him as a tool for destruction
Chaos Flame And the whole cult thing fits in with the holiday more than just coincidence he’s out on Halloween.. It started with H2 when he broke into the schoolhouse
S. Wright I’m actually looking for more friends online FB who r fans of the Thorn trilogy to discuss
