Origin: Michael Audrey Myers, one night at the age of 6, mysteriously decides to kill his sister. It was brutal murder as well. Michael eventually was captured and sentenced to Smith's Grove Sanitarium, where he would be looked under the supervison of Dr. Sam Loomis.  Loomis begin to work with Michael. Loomis begin to notice something about Michael. Michael was not normal. Michael was not just another sick little boy in the sanitarium. Michael was evil on two legs. Dr. Loomis continued to work with Michael Myers.  Nothing. For 15 years, Michael said not one word. He sat in his hospital room. Waiting. Waiting for the night of Halloween. The Night he would go on his quest to kill.

Michael Myers, eventually escaped from the hospital that held him. Before hand though, Loomis asked the medical officials to move Michael to a higher secured hospital. Michael was in a minimium security place. Loomis felt that he should be placed in a Maximium security place. The doctors ignored Loomis. The more Loomis talked about how Michael was "evil", the more they ignored him.
One night, with his friend and nurse Marion Chambers, Loomis drove up to the gate and noticed patients of the hospital were out in the yard. What had happened? As Loomis got out to investigate, Michael attacked Marion in the car. Marion, frightened jumped out of the car to her safety. Michael hoped in the car and drove off into the night as Loomis screamed; "....Its gone...its gone....the evil is gone!"
Michael, later the next day, Halloween, made his way to Haddonfield.  Michael hid in his old house, where he caught a glimpse of Laurie Strode.  Laurie had been asked by her stepfather to drop the keys off at the Myers' house. Michael was there. Michael saw Laurie.
Later that day, Michael followed Laurie and continue to stalk her and her friends. Laurie soon began to notice she was being stalked. She tried to tell her friends, but her friends threw it off as just a guy named Ben Tramer who had been trying to hook up with Laurie.

Meanwhile, Dr. Loomis was both furious and scared. He was furious at the hospital staff for letting Michael escape, and at the same time scared for the town Haddonfield, for he feared that was where Michael was going.

A few hours later, and a few murderers later, Michael eventually caught up with Laurie Strode. Laurie found her friends all dead in a house across the street where she was babysitting. Michael Myers, chased Laurie throughout the neighborhood. Laurie ran back into the house where she was babysitting and tried to keep the kids in safety. Michael, though broke into the house as he and Laurie went a couple of more rounds of fighting. Loomis finally showed up after hours of patroling the town, and shot Michael six times. Michael was thrown off the nearby balcony from the bullets' impact.  Loomis, then looked down, expecting to see a dead Michael but discovered his patient was gone and no where in sight.

This became the birth of Michael Myers and was only the beginning of the struggles Loomis and Laurie both would face.

Michael has been shot with a .357 mag, burned, shot in the eyes, thrown off a second balcony and still, yet, he lives.

Michael Myers in the horror genre: When John Carpenter created Michael Myers, Carpenter himself stated he did not know Michael Myers would be so scary and popular as he is today with audiences. What makes Michael Myers so unique from other slasher icons such as Freddy Kruegar, Jason, or Leatherface, is his creators do in fact try to keep a sense of realism in the films. Why it is true no human being in the real world could survive anything Michael has been through, Akkad, the guy who owns all the rights to Michael Myers and the Halloween series, has stated Michael is still a human being. Akkad says all the filmmakers that work on the sequels always want to try and burn him, kill him off, or blow him up. Akkad says that will never happen. Akkad states he wants to go to Halloween 22!! Why it is quit possible (see GODZILLA & JAMES BOND movies for details), in reality, the films will most likely never go that far.
Micael Myers is creepy. He is silent. Michael Myers was created in 1978 why his horror brothers, Freddy and Jason were not created until the 80s. While it is debatable that Freddy did not have nothing to do with Micahel Myers, as far as "copying" him, Michael made the path for the later slashers that would come to the big screen. While Jason is a very ruthless slasher, he does not compare to Michael Myers. Michael was the first. Leatherface, cannt be compared to Michael Myers. His charcterstics are nothing like Michael. Leatherface is psychotic, country, redneck, cross-dressing, screaming maniac. Which is nothing like Myers.
According to a poll done by........Michael Myers is considered the 2nd most scariest movie villan. #1 being of coarse, Freddy.

Body count of Michael Myers: 80 and counting.
