Halloween: Every Time Michael Myers Was Unmasked & What He Looked Like
Michael Myers is one of the most popular villains not only from the horror genre but in cinema in general, and he’s best known for his peculiar mask, which he never takes off – but there have been a couple of times throughout the Halloween franchise where Michael Myers has been unmasked, and he looked very different each time. Halloween is one of the most successful franchises in the horror genre, and while it has gone through different retcons over the years, the most recent one a reboot trilogy, it continues to be quite popular with the audience, and Michael Myers’ reign of horror in Haddonfield, Illinois always finds a way to continue.
The Halloween franchise began in 1978 with John Carpenter’s Halloween, which introduced the audience to Michael Myers. On Halloween night, 1963, six-year-old Michael Myers killed his older sister, Judith, and was sent to Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, where he became the patient of Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) and never spoke again. Fifteen years later, Michael escaped and returned to Haddonfield, where he started stalking Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her friends on Halloween night. Laurie was the only survivor of Michael’s killing spree and became the franchise’s main final girl, even if the subsequent retcons replaced her with her own daughter, Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), a group of contestants in a reality show, and a different version of her in Rob Zombie’s Halloween remakes.
