Character Analysis




John Carpenter has described the character as "almost a supernatural force - a force of nature. An evil force that's loose". He has been described as pure evil, almost like a bogeyman, with superhuman strength that can’t be killed.

He wears a distinctive blank grey mask with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes, and a dirty jump suit. The main reason this character comes across so intimidating due to is large stature and hands; which are also grubby. The majority of the time Myers is seen with a huge kitchen knife grasped in his hand.

We first see Myers when he is six years old, murdering his teenage sister. We then realise he is the primary antagonist as we then follow this character, as he is six years old, murdering his teenage sister. We then realise he is the primary antagonist as we then follow this character, as he escapes Smith's Grove Sanitarium and returns to his hometown of Haddonfield 15 years later. In ‘Halloween’ he is expressed as a stalker always lurking by his next victim. The reason Myers became such a hit was the curiosity of the viewer wanting to see the man behind the mask and the reasoning behind his mass-murdering.
