03 Michael Myers

Halloween's Michael Myers

 

Halloween (the movie) was one of the first slasher films and created a lot of the standard horror movie rules. The franchise went on to create ten movies, comics, novels, games and changed horror movies forever.

 Michael Myers is the star and killer in the Halloween movies. He is a supernatural slasher and even if killed he just keeps coming back, death seemingly being a minor inconvenience for him. He is the 3rd figure in the Funko pop Movies line.

The back of the box states "they'll thrill you!" which is appropriate because back in the day a Thriller movie was not just what you called a boring horror. 

Here is Michael Myers in all his stabby glory. He is easily recognisable by any fan of horror.

One thing that struck me was the dark brown around his eyes. At first i thought it was mistake as this was a different colour to his skin. However it is accurate to the movies as he wore dark eyeliner.

He wears his white mask and has both a cute nose and mouth.

Here we see Michaels overalls, considering his penchant for eyeliner, he doesn't seem to put much effort into his wardrobe.

Michael Myers would be caught dead without his signature weapon, the humble yet successful kitchen knife. It is shinny and silver with blood from his last victim, or it could be jam, he has to eat too you know.

Here he is a member of the big three horror giants. With Freddy Krueger on the left and Jason Vorhees on the right, a horrifying threesome to be sure.

Here we see Michael, Jason and Freddy being mean to Leatherface. Bullying and bigotry are wrong and these pops are going to be in serious trouble unless they change there evil ways.

What is Halloween: 

Halloween or Samhain is a seasonal religious holy day celebrated on the 30th of April–1st of May in the Southern Hemisphere, and as it is a seasonal festival it is celebrated on the 31st of October –1st of November in the northern hemisphere.
At Samhain the veil between this world and the spiritual world is very thin, as such it is a time to communicate, honor and pay respect to those who have died.
