Why Is Michael Myers Evil? List Of All The Victims Of The Sadistic Killer

The main villain of the Halloween film series is Michael Audrey Myers, also referred to as the boogeyman or the Shape. He was born on October 19, 1957. He is an apathetic, mute serial killer who murdered his elder sister Judith in cold blood on Halloween night at the very young age of 6 and was confined in a mental institution. Michael resurfaces fifteen years later, stalking and murdering people in his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, practically every Halloween night.

Michael is seen as the embodiment of pure evil due to his relentless killing tendencies and unnerving behavior, as well as his seemingly otherworldly appearance and, more unexpectedly, his absence of a sad or sympathetic history to provide a clear rationale for his acts.

What Makes Michael Myers So Evil?

Why is Michael Myers evil? List of all the victims of the sadistic killer

Michael Myers is the personification of pure evil. He is a ruthless, sick, and sadistic serial murderer whose sole objective is to inflict chaos, suffering, and death on innocent people, whether men, women, children, or even members of his own family. He always ensures that his victims are killed in the most terrible and agonizing manner imaginable, never granting them a speedy death or showing mercy. Michael enjoys torturing his victims physically, but he will also torture them psychologically and physically in a number of ways, such as by murdering their loved ones in front of them or pulling eerie and sinister pranks.

A perfect instance of this is when Michael disguises himself as a ghost and wears glasses, leading Lynda to believe he is her boyfriend, Bob. He kills her by choking her with the phone line as she turns around to make a call.

He refuses to communicate, and his murders, all of which occur on Halloween night, implying that the night, or the macabre features of the event, play a role in his motive. His violent impulses could be his warped way of celebrating Halloween. This suggests a childlike attitude or, at the very least, an attempt to appear extra scarier to his victims. On Halloween night, he feels the impulse to spook his victims and make a lasting impact, which may indicate that Halloween is his main focus. In Halloween II, he further demonstrated this fixation by writing “Samhain” in blood, indicating that Michael is well-versed in Halloween lore. Overall, Michael is likely to regard himself as a physical entity.

Michael enjoys exhibiting his victims’ corpses in ritual-like displays, such as placing his sister’s tombstone over the just murdered Annie and tilting his head, relishing the gruesomeness of his murder after nailing Bob Simmons’ corpse to the wall with a knife as if it were a poster.

Contrary to popular belief, Michael is a highly intelligent man who can outsmart and manipulate everyone else to his advantage. For example, He usually follows and creeps up on his victims before killing them, and he then exposes his victims to other possible victims to find before murdering them too. Michael is also capable of being fairly pragmatic and cautious when the situation demands it. For example, He took the Haddonfield mob’s threat seriously in Halloween Kills and exerted every effort to exterminate them before they pursued him. He ceased holding back and unleashed full wrath on his victims after being defeated by Laurie in the 2018 movie, possibly because he didn’t want to be caught unprepared again.

Before being transferred back to Smith’s Grove on October 30, 1988, the 31-year-old unconscious Michael Myers was taken to Ridgemont Federal Sanitarium. Though he was in a coma, he awoke and murdered the people in the ambulance when he learned that his sister Laurie Strode had passed away and that her daughter Jamie Lloyd, his niece, lived in Haddonfield.

In Halloween Kills, it is implied that the only other thing he cares about, aside from his mask, is his childhood house since it is revealed that when he was a child, he liked to stare out of his elder sister’s window, not because he was gazing at the town, but because he was staring in his reflection.

What Powers Does Michael Myers Have?

Why is Michael Myers evil? List of all the victims of the sadistic killer

 

Regenerative Healing Factor:

By the end of the movie, both of his eyes have been shot out with a gun, but both have fully recovered in Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later (1998). (along with his skin which was burned in H2).
As his eye wound, neck wound, and most likely bullet wounds appear to be present from 1978, and all of his injuries, including fingers, shot off, and face burned, appear to persist after years, it appears that Michael’s regenerative power has been altered or “nerfed” in the 2018 Timeline.

Inhuman Stealth: Michael is a highly covert individual due to his quiet demeanor and average height. Michael can easily sneak up on his victims and evade stalking them when he is noticed.

Inhuman Endurance: While Michael can tolerate all of the above traumas and not be affected by them, he nevertheless appears to be hurt with pained grunts and sighs.

Inhuman Energy: Michael’s sluggish movements allow him to chase for extended periods.

Inhuman Strength: Michael has been witnessed pulling people off the ground with one hand with little to no effort. He is also seen easily breaking through thick glass and walls.

Inhuman Durability: He can sustain high-speed automobile collisions, massive explosions, gunfire, acids, and other damage to his body and yet walk away (typically following a brief period of rest of a few seconds to a few minutes).

Well, it appears that the simple answer is that he is. There is no obvious answer as to what drives his killer instinct at this time, but as Laurie mentions in the preview for the next installment, the more he kills, the stronger he becomes. Is this why he can’t die since he keeps boosting his kill count?
The trailer implies that Michael must be unmasked for the serial killer to perish. But, in classic Halloween style, will it be for good?
