Video Highlights All the Abuse Michael Myers Has Taken in the ‘Halloween’ Franchise
He’s been cut, chopped, broken, and burned.
Michael Myers sure has killed a lot of people throughout the course of the Halloween franchise, but along the way, he’s also absorbed a whole lot of damage himself. Take the original classic, for example. Laurie Strode poked his eyeball out with a coat hanger and stuck a knitting needle into his neck, and that was before Dr. Loomis shot him six times!
In Halloween 2, Myers was shot point blank in the head and then burnt to a crisp, and in the later installments, he got his ass kicked by everyone from Paul Rudd to Busta Rhymes. And that’s all just the tip of the iceberg. I guess the lesson learned here is that you don’t rack up such a high body count without it taking its physical toll on you, eh?
This 4-minute video compilation, titled “The Many Deaths of Michael Myers,” highlights all of the painful abuse that Myers withstood in the original Halloween franchise, and though you’ve no doubt seen all the films countless times, it’s fun to watch these scenes together. If nothing more, it should put into perspective just how tough The Shape really is.
His pain is your viewing pleasure!
Before Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus gives the franchise a brand new installment this coming August, Ridley Scott’s original horror classic Alien is headed back to theaters nationwide.
The Alien: 45th Anniversary Re-Release haunts theaters for “Alien Day” on Friday, April 26, 2024! You can check listings and grab tickets through Fandango now.
In celebration of the 45th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi/horror masterpiece, the film will return to theaters for a limited time on April 26, known worldwide as Alien Day.
Plus, before the film, attendees will see “Alien: A Conversation with Ridley Scott & Fede Alvarez,” where Fede Alvarez sits down with Ridley Scott to discuss the film that started the iconic franchise.
You can watch a clip from that special bonus feature down below. In this clip, Ridley Scott and Fede Alvarez discuss the film’s iconic Chestburster scene. One person who couldn’t believe his eyes back in 1979? Stanley Kubrick! Ridley Scott relays a funny story to Alvarez, recalling the time when Kubrick called Scott wondering how the hell he pulled the nightmarish sequence off.
One of the most influential sci-fi/horror films of all time, Alien was released in June 1979 and won an Oscar for best visual effects. Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm, and Yaphet Kotto star. It is the terrifying tale of a crew aboard a commercial spacecraft that lands on an alien planet to investigate a mysterious transmission of unknown origin and encounters the deadliest lifeform in the universe.
Up next, Alien: Romulus will be released only in theaters on August 16, 2024.
