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.
@@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.
@@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.
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
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
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
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
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 😳
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
"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.
Is that the new word for reboot...rerconned? I'm not gonna start using it. Doesn't matter,the original timeline made him a cults puppet,that's what's canon.
@@sadetwizelve Every movie in the franchise is "canon". They're just different versions, different timelines, different uh universes. Whatever you want to call it.
The idea of having Michael kill for no reason is way more terrifying because as humans we tend to think we aren’t born evil were molded into it which is a logical explanation but the idea that you just became evil no incidents or tragic or abusive backstory just happened is really terrifying because no one can prevent it from happening and that’s why the shape is the phenomenon he is today
I always felt that him going around and killing for no reason was the scary part about it makes it feel like a real psychopath moment that brought the mystery and made it even more interesting and terrifying bc you don’t know why he did it
The rob zombie movies really threw me off of everything I had in mind regarding any theories about Halloween, mainly because of one thing: Michael never killed cats in the og movies, so the fact that he killed cats in the rob zombie movies and that resurrection tried to say that he ate rats in the sewers was just so... Not something Michael would do (but he did kill dogs so ofc you can say that dogs just gave away his position or he’s just a cat person 😂)
"Samhain" is an Irish word and is pronounced more like "Sou-win". Halloween night in Irish today is "Oiche Shamhna" and is pronounced "Eeha-how-na", referring to the night specifically but "Samhain" is a broader reference to the time of year. If anyone plays Overwatch you can go and listen the character, Moira, say the voice line "Oiche Shamhna chona duit" which literally means "Happy Halloween to you"
This is what preturbs me about the new movies. They've made clear it's a trilogy, there's going to be 3 and that this is it. This is Michael's last hurrah. I'm just worried they're going to fall into the same trap, trying to explain why Michael is how he is and why he does what he does. We've seen Halloween 2018, we have a little insight now, and from the trailer's for Halloween Kills, it paints an even broader picture. It seems like people are actively hunting Michael now instead of vice versa. What's more, there appears to be a scene where he's being taunted with his own mask. Knowing how the middle movies in sequels work, Michael will surely return in the 3rd and final film. Again, just worried that they're going to try and explain him, or worse they're going to have him talk or something.
I will say this, In a genre of wisecracking dream demons, repressed mamas boy camp goers, and Special need Hicks with lumberjack equipment Michael Myers is a quiet dignified true professional out there doing his thing
he's still human and thus a character, he not a prop like say a giant puppet or a stop motion figure like in Harryhausen film, he's an actor playing an on scream character, sometimes knowing someone's reason for been evil can be just a scary buy if you evil for it sake then you're not going to hold many peoples attention
@@james739123 The whole point of Michael is that no one is supposed to know his motives. Think of Lovecraftian Horror. If we are given exposition to his motives, we can begin to understand and perhaps empathize with him. In the 4-6 timeline, his reason was the Mark of Thorn. In the Rob Zombie films, it was his rough childhood. Yet in the original 1978 film, there is no known motive. Michael isn't some protagonist that needs a backstory. He's a Slasher Villain whose motives are undefined.
Let me repeat, he is HUMAN, he's is not a disfigured monster he's not a unknown thing he is human, he is something that can be known even if it's not clear what his motives are, when a monster or demon acts evil you know that is what it supposed to do and what it's supposed to be, but when a human acts evil you are left wondering why, what's his motivation, even is the characters or the audience don't know, a motive still exists and it can be known
@@james739123 Exactly. We're meant to wonder why. We're not meant to know why, however. Unlike other Slasher Villains, Michael has never uttered a word (at least in the films Carpenter was directly involved with: 1978, 1981, 2018). As such, it's impossible to ever get a proper reason. He's expressionless and 'faceless' (minus the time he was unmasked in the original). John Carpenter himself has stated he "wanted the audience to not know whether he (Michael) was human or supernatural." Source: www.cbsnews.com/news/john-carpenter-on-returning-to-halloween/ The whole point of Michael is that he's a mystery. The less is known, the better (scarier).
I didn't mind the whole thorn curse. And the "cult" in H6 wasn't a cult, apparently what the H6 screenwriter wrote wasn't exactly what was shown on screen. If you have the time take a look at Daniel Farrands original halloween 6 screenplay, it's actually very good and would've taken the series in a very interesting direction. I really liked Halloween 2018, but I wonder of the future because if they keep pumping out movies like halloween 2018, I fear it might get boring at some point.
What's funny about the Rob Zombie movie is that they make fun of that kind of logic in Resurrection. Also, the fact that Zombie did it because he wanted to make Michael realistic yet his dad acts like a caricature of an abuser, more so than an actual character.
athough he has a good point about the rob zombie movies, i really really liked them. i think it does get too sympathetic but i also believe that’s not a bad thing necessarily
I have to ask. If the whole idea of Michaels rage is to sacrifice for a bountiful harvest where is the harvest & whose being sacrificed for that purpose, the town's children...doesn't make sense?
Honestly, I prefer the psychological trauma and past to Michael Myers without all the cult stuff. Sharks don't need a troubled past to kill, as they do it for the feed and the hunt, but even the smallest of issues that are left untreated by a good professional or loving family members can become very bad. He sees no reason as to what he does is wrong, meaning that there is something mentally stunted or wrong with him and obviously wasn't taken care of properly by the facility he was in. I just prefer that version over the "he kills because he is evil" version or the cult one.
In Halloween 2018 Michael walked into a house and murdered a woman but left her child in peace inside her crib. Michael does not kill baby's. That's why Laurie survived Michael when he killed his family. He will continue to go after Laurie Strode until he kills her. His vengeance is to finally kill his family that was in that house that night.
Halloween 6 explains everything once the orginal shape died the next shape was selected and they thorned the next micheal with evil so it can turn out just like micheal But it gives the person a limited time of health still and that carrys on untill halloween 2018 and if there is anymore films but in halloween five micheal doesnt die he manages to get more life and just need some bedrest and some treament by herment who micheal killed after he healed And it took 5 ( not six because micheal is not inculded in halloween 3) just to reaveal how micheal keeps coming back to life NOT so thats how hes a human and invisible
Rob Zombie wanted to make Michael realistic. Many of the things that happen are the stages of psychosis. It takes a look into a psychopath's mind. Michael is still evil enough though. That's why the remakes are my favourites, it's as real as it can be and that's what makes it scarier.
Just watched the new Halloween kills in the movie theatres on saturday, kept trying to figure out why he was killing those poor people, the answer this whole time was "just because", I personally liked the rob zombie version of halloween tho.
I wish that all of it was canon to the actual series except the reboot, in H2O that was supposed to be a scene where they are talking about jaime dying right in front of Laurie, that should’ve stayed in the film but didn’t even get filmed on camera And then for Halloween 2018 they should’ve pretended like none of that happened to keep the people shut up
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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?"
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 franchise is all over the place.
Long Answer: This Video

We don't include remakes. In the original he was never bullied and he killed because he wanted to. In the remake yes he was bullied.

Let me repeat, he is HUMAN, he's is not a disfigured monster he's not a unknown thing he is human, he is something that can be known even if it's not clear what his motives are, when a monster or demon acts evil you know that is what it supposed to do and what it's supposed to be, but when a human acts evil you are left wondering why, what's his motivation, even is the characters or the audience don't know, a motive still exists and it can be known
@@james739123 Exactly. We're meant to wonder why. We're not meant to know why, however.
Unlike other Slasher Villains, Michael has never uttered a word (at least in the films Carpenter was directly involved with: 1978, 1981, 2018).
As such, it's impossible to ever get a proper reason. He's expressionless and 'faceless' (minus the time he was unmasked in the original).
John Carpenter himself has stated he "wanted the audience to not know whether he (Michael) was human or supernatural."

The whole point of Michael is that he's a mystery. The less is known, the better (scarier).
I didn't mind the whole thorn curse. And the "cult" in H6 wasn't a cult, apparently what the H6 screenwriter wrote wasn't exactly what was shown on screen. If you have the time take a look at Daniel Farrands original halloween 6 screenplay, it's actually very good and would've taken the series in a very interesting direction. I really liked Halloween 2018, but I wonder of the future because if they keep pumping out movies like halloween 2018, I fear it might get boring at some point.
Michael Myers can talk, run, drive but he doesn't
What's funny about the Rob Zombie movie is that they make fun of that kind of logic in Resurrection. Also, the fact that Zombie did it because he wanted to make Michael realistic yet his dad acts like a caricature of an abuser, more so than an actual character.
athough he has a good point about the rob zombie movies, i really really liked them. i think it does get too sympathetic but i also believe that’s not a bad thing necessarily
I have to ask. If the whole idea of Michaels rage is to sacrifice for a bountiful harvest where is the harvest & whose being sacrificed for that purpose, the town's children...doesn't make sense?
This guy gets it the problem with zombies Halloween.
Been saying that since it came out.
Michael is still upset at producers for not giving him a movie with Freddy.
Honestly, I prefer the psychological trauma and past to Michael Myers without all the cult stuff. Sharks don't need a troubled past to kill, as they do it for the feed and the hunt, but even the smallest of issues that are left untreated by a good professional or loving family members can become very bad. He sees no reason as to what he does is wrong, meaning that there is something mentally stunted or wrong with him and obviously wasn't taken care of properly by the facility he was in. I just prefer that version over the "he kills because he is evil" version or the cult one.
In Halloween 2018 Michael walked into a house and murdered a woman but left her child in peace inside her crib. Michael does not kill baby's. That's why Laurie survived Michael when he killed his family. He will continue to go after Laurie Strode until he kills her. His vengeance is to finally kill his family that was in that house that night.
He was literally trying to kill his newborn son in Halloween 6
sgillman16 ha
So what you are saying is that we need a Jason vs. Michael M
Absolute evil is a fan film that tries to tie the story of Michael Myers in a different way
Sorta
Basically put Michael is a lot scarier with no reason behind him being so psychotic and evil. the less you can relate to it the scarier it is
Its funny because in the new Halloween Movie trailer they actually try to understand why is he killing and how to stop him for good.
Im glad they are trying to get it right this time around
The Rob Zombie reboots are the best
Halloween 6 explains everything once the orginal shape died the next shape was selected and they thorned the next micheal with evil so it can turn out just like micheal
But it gives the person a limited time of health still and that carrys on untill halloween 2018 and if there is anymore films but in halloween five micheal doesnt die he manages to get more life and just need some bedrest and some treament by herment who micheal killed after he healed
And it took 5 ( not six because micheal is not inculded in halloween 3) just to reaveal how micheal keeps coming back to life NOT so thats how hes a human and invisible
Who would have known that there where others of Halloween.
I thought the title of the video was "how does michael myers kill" and I was "i don't know how does he kill people
You know he's evil when mermaid man says EVIL!
Rob Zombie wanted to make Michael realistic. Many of the things that happen are the stages of psychosis. It takes a look into a psychopath's mind. Michael is still evil enough though. That's why the remakes are my favourites, it's as real as it can be and that's what makes it scarier.
Just watched the new Halloween kills in the movie theatres on saturday, kept trying to figure out why he was killing those poor people, the answer this whole time was "just because", I personally liked the rob zombie version of halloween tho.
“Why does michael myers kill”
Me: It’s a slasher movie (killer movie).
The scariest things in the world are the ones you can never understand
Just add the Austin Powers Easter egg at the beginning the video and my life is complete
I wish that all of it was canon to the actual series except the reboot, in H2O that was supposed to be a scene where they are talking about jaime dying right in front of Laurie, that should’ve stayed in the film but didn’t even get filmed on camera
And then for Halloween 2018 they should’ve pretended like none of that happened to keep the people shut up
Spinal tap reference had me dead
I don't like the attempted explanations in H6 as to why Michael kills. He kills because he just does. He's evil and sometimes evil has no reason.
What do you mean attempted? It's canon,curse of Thorn,accept it.
sadetwizelve no lmao halloween 1 is the only canon
@@summit6077 and 2018
@@zerot480 nah homie it ended after michael disappeared, its better that way.
@@summit6077 no it isn't.
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.
Yep. But the Laurie and Michael being siblings thing works. If the movies were just 1,2 and H20, it would be perfect. Perfect trilogy.
Cult of Thorn...that's why
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
@@dadmom8389 Thats what. i did not like about the rob zombie movies. he kept grunting.
@@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.
Michael kills because you're in the way
Pretty much.

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
@@richardzimmerman7113 lol, ARE YOU INSANE?
@@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
@@richardzimmerman7113 Pretty sure the light side are not ok with killing children.
Sith aren't just pure evil tho...
The real reason Mike Myers kills is because it is in the script...
Mugan Lonewolf LMFAO
True that
true that
Mugan Lonewolf Michael Myers: *kill*
So they need
Super Why to come change the script from "killing" to hugging" random people 😂
Mugan Lonewolf 🤔
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!
Charlie L. That almost makes it worse😂
I heard it was the priest that impregnated her so he had another myers to kill for the ritual
Charlie L. Hi
Did she kill the baby? No I don’t think so but wow
Kind makes it even worse doesn't it?
Impregnated his niece
Yes niece not cousin their fault but it’s ok

“Some folk is just evil, ain’t no point in trying to explain it”- Arthur Morgan
The part where he saves the girl from the cannibals
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 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
@@lionkinglular7446 She's from Fire Emblem Fates.
You made me watch this for 7 minutes and you tell us "no reason"
Legendaryboss I know right 😂
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
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.
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
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?"
@Honest Fan October 31st
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.
sadetwizelve Sure buddy, sure.
