Halloween Kills: Is Michael Myers human?
By Sandy C.
The movie Halloween Kills is now streaming on Peacock and playing in theaters, and after watching, fans have a lot of questions, mainly — is Michael Myers even human?
All the hype surrounded the highly anticipated Halloween sequel, Halloween Kills. After a few delays due to the pandemic, the studio finally decided on both a streaming and theater release. Did you see the movie on the big-screen or stream it from home?
Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched the movie!
Unfortunately, many can agree that the movie does not live up to the hype. It’s simply not what fans were expecting. As glad as we are to see Michael Myers again, other than the fun and unique kills, it’s not a very exciting chapter.
We all know slasher movies can be a little silly (in a fun way, it’s what we expect from the genre), but we’re all confused about Michael Myers after he survived just about everything. Is the horror villain human?
How old is Michael Myers?
According to Screen Rant, Michael Myers is about 60 years old in Halloween Kills. This is a fact that you could never have guessed based on how much Michael can take and how quick he is. Not to mention, his strength.
And yes, he is fast. If he doesn’t get you right away, it’s because he doesn’t want to. He’s still one step ahead.
Can Michael Myers die?
Nothing seems to kill Michael Myers, or even slow him down. After being beaten and stabbed, Michael took a quick power nap and was on his feet again, more powerful than ever. Even that is a little far-fetched for the genre, which begs the question, can he die? Based on the events in Halloween Kills, doesn’t seem like it!
In Halloween: H20, Laurie chops off Michael’s head, but that’s another timeline we don’t have time to get into and not part of the Halloween Kills story.
Is Michael Myers human?
As we see Michael get up and kill again, Laurie is talking about how Michael is driven by fear and hate. The idea of Michael no longer being human is insinuated, and we believe it based on what we see!
What do you think? Will Michael Myers ever be killed? He will return in Halloween Ends on Oct. 14, 2022.
