However, like all horror fans know, “you can’t kill the boogeymen”. In the current timeline of films Michael saw a “definitive death” in the criminally underrated Halloween Ends last October. It was criticized at the time for not having Michael as its star, but has since rightfully become a horror cult classic. After the original sequel Halloween II“killed” Michael Myers in 1981 the franchise would try the anthology route with Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Some of the best sequels include Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween (2018), and Halloween Kills. Since Halloween’s debut, the franchise has had 12 sequels/reboots/remakes of varying quality. ![]() Even today, while franchises like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13thhave come and gone, nothing can hold a candle to the mystery of Michael Myers. ![]() Whether it was thick as fog Halloween atmosphere, the brilliant performances, or Carpenter’s one two punch of creative direction and legendary musical score, this string of babysitter murders slashed all the right notes. In 1978 mainstream audiences never saw something quite as uniquely simple and disturbingly complex. While the slasher genre didn’t start with Halloween, Carpenter’s film perfected the sub-genre. This includes the original, Rob Zombie’s Halloween, and Halloween Ends. They’ve previously made 12-inch figures for all the different Michaels across the franchise along with each version of his mask. Plus, Trick or Treat Studios has had a great Halloween track record in the past. ![]() The amount of detail that is found in this figure like the popped collar, exposed neck, and chilling vain work on the hands make this a very screen accurate Michael Myers. The shading gives the piece a heavy claustrophobic nature to it as if it was about to be consumed by shadows. There have been a ton of Michael Myers figures in the past from various studios, but this particular figure does a great job capturing the feel of the spooky Carpenter flick. The other arm option has Michael with nothing in his hand in a more “relaxed” stocking manor which is a pose seen countless times throughout the 1978 film when their following Laurie Strode around Haddonfield. “The Shape” also comes with a Jack-o-lantern and an interchangeable right arm which is holding the knife. Michael is wearing the iconic blue mechanic jumpsuit and their soulless all white William Shatner mask with a staple franchise kitchen knife at the ready. The new eight-inch figure, a part of the company’s “Scream Giants” line, sees The Boogeyman in their classic attire.
