The Evolution Of MICHAEL MYERS (Animated Video)

Michael Myers is one of the most iconic horror villains of all time, but emulating his look from the first film has proved harder than it looks. From John Carpenter's classic creep to Rob Zombie's muscle-bound hobo, let's go through his evolution...animated!

Brief History of the MICHAEL MYERS Mask After Filming HALLOWEEN (1978) & II (1981)


Original mask used in both Halloween '78 and Halloween II '81 as it looks today.

A very informative video by Youtuber Ryan Mingcharoen. Most of the pictures and information were gathered from www.Michael-Myers.net and a screenshot from a video by Joshua Warren which is also worth checking at https://youtu.be/VHawn3tP5Jw, or watch both videos below:



The video below aired in 2001 for a local television news segment for an eastern United States news station. It's pretty spectacular footage as it shows the original HII mask, coveralls, knife and scalpel as well as the often hidden Ken Hertlein 'RARE" mask. The most interesting thing about this video is the shiny paint used on the actual HII mask. The footage was edited to show just scenes where the mask was shown and slowed down the small parts showing the original HII mask. Video by Youtuber GalaxyJDW.



The Halloween II scalpel and....

...boots as they look today.

10 MINUTE THEATER Presents: HALLOWEEN (1978) and HALLOWEEN II (1981)

Watch Halloween '78 and Halloween II '81 in 10 minutes each. Videos by Youtuber 10MT Productions.

10 MINUTE THEATER is a series of videos where some random British guy explains what happens in a movie in a 10 minute time limit with random, unrelated subtitles at the bottom of the screen. Some of Hollywood's most beloved (and in some cases, most unloved) movies are not safe from this 10 minute format!

We go back to 1978 to Haddonfield where someone has come back to finish what he started 15 years before. Tonight is the night HE came home...


We go back to 1981... Which is also 1978 where the town of Haddonfield is still celebrating Halloween and Michael Myers is still celebrating murder! It's MORE of the night HE came home...

HALLOWEEN Franshise (1978-2009) Supercut Trailer

A fan made saga super-trailer / music video of the Halloween movies by YouTube user TheMisterYuTube.

TheMisterYuTube's Description: In order to challenge myself, I used footage strictly from all the Halloween trailers except for Part 3 cause Season of the Witch technically isn't part of the franchise. I also sampled some sound effects and dialog from the HALLOWEEN 20th anniversary edition Soundtrack and included the iconic Music from the original 1978 film composed by John Carpenter and The Bowling Green Philharmonic Orchestra:
