Michael Myers

> "*I met him fifteen years ago, I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding in even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this...six year old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and...the blackest eyes - the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply...evil."*

**Michael Audrey Myers** (born 19 October 1957), commonly referred to as the **Shape** and the **Boogeyman** is a deranged serial killer totally devoid of empathy from Haddonfield, Illinois.

After murdering his sister at the age of six, he was sent to a mental institution until he escaped in October of 1978 and went on a killing spree  before being captured.

40 years later, he would escape once more, and would kill several more people before his presumed death.

## **Biography**

### **Early Life**

Michael Myers was born on the 19th of October, 1957, to parents Donald and Edith Myers in the town of Haddonfield, Illinois. He also had an older sister, Judith.

#### **Killing Judith**

On the 31st of October, 1963, a six-year-old Michael would be left alone with his sister, with Judith meant to babysit him. However, Judith abandoned Michael so that she could have sex with her boyfriend, Danny, upstairs. After Danny left their home, Michael would confront his sister before stabbing her to death with a kitchen knife. He was found shortly afterward by his shocked parents.

#### **Incarceration**

After Judith's murder, Michael would be institutionalized in Smith's Grove Sanitarium, and would be left under the care of psychiatrist Sam Loomis , who had previous experience dealing with psychotic killers.

During his first stint in Smith's Grove, Michael would barely ever speak or move, and Loomis would become convinced that Michael was a being of pure evil, totally devoid of any empathy for other human beings.

After fifteen years in Smith's Grove, on the 30th of October of 1978, Michael was to be transferred to another facility for a court hearing regarding his crime. He was able to steal a car however, and escaped into Haddonfield.

### **The Night He Came Home**

After escaping from Smith's Grove, Michael would arrive into town and would murder a truck driver and would begin to wear his boiler suit, as well as steal a halloween mask, knives, and rope from a hardware store.

#### **Stalking Laurie**

Later that day, Michael took note of young girl Laurie Strode when she dropped off some keys at the old Myers house on the behalf of her realtor father. Throughout the afternoon, Michael would continue to stalk Laurie, as well as her friends accompanying her, Lynda and Annie.

#### **Hunting Laurie**

Later than Halloween night, Michael would murder Annie by strangling in her car and then slitting her throat violently.
