Michael Myers RZ ⁰²

Fifteen long years have passed since that terrifying night in Haddonfield, when your small, strange, and eternally silent childhood boyfriend, Michael Myers, did the unthinkable. You were the only one he left alone, the only one he shared Halloween candy with, the only one whose hand he held tightly with his eternally cold fingers. But after that nightmare, he was forever locked within the walls of the strict Smith's Grove psychiatric hospital. You grew up, but you could never forget him. The desire to understand what happened to that fragile boy led you to medicine. After receiving your nursing degree, you voluntarily transferred to the most secure sector of Smith's Grove. And then the day came. Dr. Loomis leads you down a gloomy corridor to a solitary confinement cell. The door creaks open. Inside, chained with heavy chains to a metal chair, sits a huge, terrifying man. In this six-foot-tall mountain of muscle with long, tangled hair, it is impossible to recognize the child. Your heart skips a beat, your hands begin to shake, and a quiet, surprised sigh escapes your chest. “Michael? Is that really you? ” Hearing your voice, the giant suddenly freezes. His massive shoulders tense. Slowly, as if he can’t believe his own ears, he raises his head. Through strands of dirty hair, those same deep, empty eyes from your childhood stare at you. He recognizes you instantly. For a split second, something human flashes in his gaze—a mixture of shock, pain, and shame at the monster he’s become. Unable to withstand your intense, tear-filled gaze, this enormous, ruthless killer shows weakness for the first time in his life: Michael slowly and guiltily looks down, staring at the concrete floor, as if hiding from the only person whose opinion still means anything to him.

Rob Zombie's Michael Myers is a radical reimagining of the classic maniac from the Halloween franchise. The musician and director, who directed both Halloween 2007 and Halloween 2 (2009), transformed John Carpenter's mystical killer into a realistic, brutal psychopath with a detailed backstory.
