-->--''[[Film/HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers The Curse of Michael Myers]]''

* [[Film/Halloween2018 2018 film]] & ''[[Film/HalloweenKills Kills]]'': [[TheDreaded Michael Myers]], forty years after his original killing spree, escapes from a crashed prison bus, killing several people, including [[WouldHurtAChild a young boy]], just to retrieve his mask. [[SpreeKiller Beginning a new spree]], Michael breaks into several homes to butcher their residents throughout the night, as well as the friends of Laurie's granddaughter, Allyson. After stomping his psychiatrist's head in and killing Allyson's father, Michael is left to burn by Laurie, Allyson, and Karen. Surviving that, Michael escalates his killing spree by slaughtering responding firefighters and the mob formed by Tommy Doyle; killing Tommy himself; [[ForcedToWatch makes Allyson]] watch as he brutalizes and kills her boyfriend, before murdering her mother Karen. With at least thirty kills in the span of a night, Michael would prop their bodies as morbid decorations and show that [[EvilOldFolks age has not slowed his brutality]].

* Michael Myers, aka "The Shape", is a [[MalevolentMaskedMan masked]], cold-blooded SerialKiller with [[PsychoKnifeNut a fondness for carving knives]]. In [[Film/Halloween1978 the first film]], after killing his sister at the age of six, Michael breaks out of prison as an adult and goes on a killing spree through his hometown of Haddonfield. He's stopped, but the horror doesn't end there. While the timeline diverges from then on, one thing remains constant: Michael repeatedly returns, making numerous attempts on Laurie Strode, [[FamilialFoe whatever family she might have]], and anybody else who gets in his way. Incapable of feeling empathy, and driven by a loathing of seemingly everybody he encounters, the unstoppable and perpetually silent Michael Myers helped define the slasher movie villain, and remains one of the most bone-chillingly evil.

* In [[Film/HalloweenII1981 the 1981 sequel]], Michael Myers pursues Laurie, his sister in this continuity, to a local hospital, massacring the staff before attacking Laurie again. From there, the timeline diverges again:

* Creator/ChaosComics series[[labelnote:Titles]]''Halloween''; ''Halloween II: The Blackest Eyes''; ''Halloween III: The Devil's Eyes''[[/labelnote]]: Michael Myers, as always, is the epitome of evil. After [[SiblingMurder murdering his older sister]] at the age of [[EnfantTerrible six]], Michael was sent to a mental institution where he tortured and murdered everyone unfortunate enough to cross his path, including boiling a fellow child to death because they took some of his birthday cake. Following the events of [[Film/HalloweenII1981 the second film]], Michael begins stalking Tommy Doyle, once again sadistically tormenting and killing everyone he sees along the way, including decapitating someone and throwing it at their friend just to traumatize them. Even after [[Film/HalloweenH20TwentyYearsLater Laurie kills him]], Michael has tormented her so much that she undergoes a psychotic break and begins killing in his method, her mind long since broken from his actions.

Before tracking Laurie down, Michael went on a huge murder spree, where he decapitates a beauty pageant winner; murders an elementary school teacher, then strings her up for her students to find; [[RazorApples shoves razor blades into Halloween candy]]; and scoops a reporter's eyes out before replacing them with film rolls. Michael torments a dying [[Characters/HalloweenSamuelLoomis Dr. Sam Loomis]] by torturing a friend of his in front of him and leaving them to die. A year after ''[[Film/HalloweenResurrection Resurrection]]'', Michael goes on yet another killing spree, where he [[WouldHurtAChild slashes a child's throat]]; kills numerous people in horrific ways, such as hollowing a woman's skull to make a jack-o'-lantern; tricks the police into killing a man under the illusion he was Michael; and follows this up by [[BuriedAlive burying one of his more evasive victims alive]] after stripping her naked.

The ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' franchise, [[LongRunners beginning in 1978]], greatly influenced the SlasherMovie genre. While [[Characters/HalloweenMichaelMyers Michael Myers]] himself reigns as the quintessential [[CompleteMonster monster]] of the series, there are others equally as heinous.

** 4-6 timeline: Michael [[Film/Halloween4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers reawakens]] from a decade long coma, now out to kill his young niece, [[Characters/HalloweenJamieLloyd Jamie]], and those who get in his way. He taunts [[Characters/HalloweenSamuelLoomis Dr. Sam Loomis]] of his return, and massacres the police station. Eventually, [[Film/Halloween5TheRevengeOfMichaelMyers Michael kills those who get close to Jamie]] to torment her, such as her foster sister Rachel, and her friends, taunting Jamie with the bodies of his victims. In the theatrical cut of [[Film/HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers the sixth film]], Michael is theorized to be under a curse, but it is shown that instead Michael's rage is what drives him. Michael forcibly impregnated a now-teenage Jamie and mocks a previous moment of humanity towards her by pretending to have been reached out to a second time, only to gruesomely kill her, before killing members of the Strode family. With the Cult of Thorn, seeking to aid and control him to study his evil, Michael eventually slaughters them too before resuming his hunt for Jamie's baby Steven.

'''Dr. Sam Loomis:''' Why now?\\

'''Wynn:''' I have my plans for this baby. Jamie's baby, will be the dawn of a new age. And I'm asking you to join me.\\

* ''[[Film/HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers The Curse of Michael Myers]]'' theatrical cut: [[PsychoPsychologist Dr. Terence Wynn]] is revealed to be as monstrous as Michael himself. Wynn uses the ancient Cult of Thorn as a front for his experiments, using Michael's DNA to create evil in its purest form by [[MedicalRapeAndImpregnate impregnating female patients]] of Smith's Grove Sanitarium with Michael's DNA, most resulting in stillbirths.

In the [[Film/Halloween5TheRevengeOfMichaelMyers previous movie]], Wynn followed Michael in his killing spree, and [[CopKiller blew up a police station]] before abducting Michael's niece Jamie and escaping with Michael. After Jamie successfully births a new baby, Steven, Wynn plans on making Steven the next cycle of evil, and even forms a fascination with Danny Strode, trying to get him to become a killer too.

Returning to Haddonfield, Michael reenacts--and exceeds--his original killing spree by infiltrating the houses of innocents to brutally slaughter them for no other reason than [[ForTheEvulz because he could]].
