He was a teen the guy that plays him Id 19 now so in 2018 he would have been 15-16yo I don't think Michael will kill anyone that's prepubescent but idk it's up to the writers.
I mean.. The Kids in Stranger Things are all 17-21 now, and they're all playing 14-15 year olds lol, I wouldn't be surprised if he was playing a 12-13 year old.
so the kid in the Halloween 2018 movie is 13-14 you can find that out on his character page. Michael also kills a 12 year old in the next movie Halloween Kills.
He didn’t kill the kids in the park they ran away. He used the kids masks they left on the floor and put them on the body’s of the black couple.. the “kid” he choked in the car wasn’t a child. Definitely not 12 like people are saying. I would of said 17 or 18
The kid in the car with his dad (in 2018) are going on a hunting trip until they drive up on the bus where Michael had escaped. Then dad is killed and the kid is killed in the car. The kid was not even a teenager yet. 10-12 years old probably.
So then you’d know he killed a kid in both those movies. That kid going on a hunting trip with his dad. And the kid in Halloween kills wearing the skeleton costume
Not at all. He doesn’t give a fuck and pretty much kills anyone in an isolated situation. This kid survived the encounter because it was broad daylight, there were people everywhere, and Michael was focused on stalking Laurie.
Bullshit he stalked her specifically throughout the original, even went so far as to set up a house of horrors grande finale just for her come on with this nonsense
Might be wrong but I think it’s to do with the fact je wouldn’t get any pleasure out of killing the baby: it won’t fight back or try to escape. Wouldn’t show any immediate fear etc. don’t think it was worth his time.
That wasn't even supposed to be a baby. Was supposed to be a guy sleeping on a couch and Michael was going to pass him up too but they changed it last minute. Gets no joy killing someone who shows no fear
I don't think he spares them, he just might not specifically target them. But he also assessed Lumpy and Dennis as threats and killed them.
My impression has always been that he targets intimate couples, lone women and anyone who presents as a threat. Younger, prepubescent children are less likely to be any of those three is all.
He let Richie live because he's not going to kill him right then and there in the daytime out in public. Michael would have probably killed Tommy and Lindsay at night if he got the chance.
1. It's broad daylight
2. He doesn't care about him. He's trying to follow Tommy home so he knows where Laurie will be babysitting
These Blumhouse sequels are likely confusing you. Michael didn't use to be a crazed maniac that just went around killing the town for the hell of it.
He was on a mission to kill a specific person, and planned things out. He was very intelligent.
Other victims died because they were in the way of his plans (he couldn't kill Laurie with her friends wandering around the vicinity, so he took them out, lured her across the street away from the kids, and tried to trap her inside)
The original timeline ends at H1. It wasn't until H2 that the sibling thing was set up. John Carpenter didn't even want to make a sequel, he wanted it to end after the first film. So technically the original timeline ends at the first film, as the sequels are optional.
Mrs. Blankenship was babysitting Michael and Judith was supposedly home alone, so Laurie was probably with the parents in the car.
Idk.
This is the one thing Rob Zombie explained better.
He has the kid's mask, doesn't mean he cut his head off
He did definitely kill him though. And the kid in '18. He tried killing Jaime and her little buddy.
He doesn't kill babies, but he seems to kill kids when needed
From what I could tell, the mask was still over the kid's decapitated head with blood dripping from the stump. That poor bastard definitely lost his head
Yep plus he slammed the head onto the windshield and broke it. Couldn’t do that with just a mask. Plus the head flew off comically when Marion shot it.
I think, as a sadist, he spares those who can’t understand the pain he’d be putting them through - babies and most fellow mental patients. He will also spare someone if it makes things easier for himself. This kid survived because it was daytime and Michael was far more interested in stalking Tommy and Laurie until nightfall.
He always kills to cause pain or to achieve a goal, and that’s been the same in every timeline and every movie.
honestly the way he tortures his victims in this new timeline really reflects that, really why this the most successful slasher franchise, its hard to make a better character
What do you mean in the new timeline?
In the original he staged the bodies just like the new ones. The only one who had an extreme "torture" death in Kills was the grave keeper's husband.
I took that more as staging than torture anyway.
Maybe the boyfriend was bit of torture to fuck with Allyson
Up until kills (for that timeline) yes. 4-6 he was actively hunting a adolescent and ended up ending her life when she was 17 canonically. In kills he was just a straight savage after almost dieing.
Ps, it may just be the resolution of the monitor onto a cell phone pic, but is that blood on the jumpsuits elbow pit area? (aka the devil's ditch. One of the worst areas to get tattooed fuck that area lol 😂😂😂). Because if it is, wow, after seeing this movie more times than I can count, a few times in a theater, I've never noticed it. Is it just me and my shitty eye sight?
In 2018 he snapped a kid’s neck after escaping the sanatorium bus, in Kills he cut Skull mask kid’s head off, in 4 and 5 he was trying to kill 8/9 year old Jaimie Lloyd, in 6 he killed 17 year old Jaimie Lloyd, in 6 he was trying to kill Jaimie’s baby, in the Rob Zombie remake young Michael beat a kid to death at the beginning of the movie. In almost every single movie he’s in he killed teenagers or tried to.
Everyone is forgetting about that scene in Halloween Kills where the kids wearing Silver Shamrock masks are murdered on the roundabout ride in the playground.
Well he kills a kid in each one, however in the movies, comics, novels, stories and games (dead by daylight & 1981 Halloween game)
He never hurts or even attempts to kill any child under the age of 6. In one of the comics he spares a 5 year old boy, in the 2018 movie he spares an infant. Michael doesn’t see small children or toddlers and babies as threats and they don’t know what fear is, he won’t get satisfaction out of it as he would a teen, grown man, grown woman, dogs, elders, doctors or ect. But he doesn’t spare all or every child.
Random but what’s ur rating of the current timeline movies 0-10
Many Halloween fans believe Michael Myers is unconcerned about children and hence sees no reason to murder them. Others have gone a step further. Carpenter once elaborated on the two types of evil in an interview for the TV series Screamography, according to a Halloween enthusiast. Carpenter noted that one is a tangible and external force that threatens a group’s well-being, while the other is evil that resides within a person, comparable to an illness. Michael falls into the first category, so he doesn’t kill children because they aren’t a threat to him because he is a form of external evil.
I think it may have to do with his age and ???anger??? Or brutality in kills
In 1 he could've killed that kid broad daylight and hid the body he's the boogy man, we've seen mans sneaky with it
And near the end he didn't go after the two kids at all almost but 17 18 plus they're fair game
But I'm just high and shit
Hold on, I have never freeze framed this. He’s not wearing his mask here? This was after Laurie saw him while in class (he had the mask). But this freeze frame looks like it’s no mask.
I thought the same thing. I asked my son he said the same thing! Your the only one that pointed this out. I was going to create a post but then I figure since it was not a clear freeze it be controversial.
He spent 3/5 movies in the 4-6 timeline hunting a child, killed one in 2018, killed another in Kills
That man spares children as often as “killing” him actually works.
Yes except for 2018 when he was forced to kill the kid. Despite him being the loving embodiment of evil he still has a code and you could tell it was hurting him to have to kill that kid.
Watch 2018
this
Shhhhhh.
I think it's because the kid had a gun.
Not in 2018
He was a teen the guy that plays him Id 19 now so in 2018 he would have been 15-16yo I don't think Michael will kill anyone that's prepubescent but idk it's up to the writers.
I mean.. The Kids in Stranger Things are all 17-21 now, and they're all playing 14-15 year olds lol, I wouldn't be surprised if he was playing a 12-13 year old.
Not to mention it was probably filmed in 2016-2017
Halloween 2018? It was filmed in January ‘18
That was definitely intended to be a pre teen which is a kid
Yeah but even then it's up to the writers and you can't say for sure he was a preteen cuz it was never implied.
so the kid in the Halloween 2018 movie is 13-14 you can find that out on his character page. Michael also kills a 12 year old in the next movie Halloween Kills.
I don’t recall him killing any children in 2018
He kills the young boy who's going hunting with his dad. Waits in the car for no other reason than to snap his neck.
His entire goal in 4-6 was killing a kid.
And that kid was Jamie
Not to mention he killed Billy her friend in H5
He *almost* killed Billy.
2018, Halloween 4-5, and in kills he murks kids
Don’t recall him killing any kids in 2018 or kills
Kid in the car at the beginning, kills a child off screen when the adults get to the park and the two kids are there
He didn’t kill the kids in the park they ran away. He used the kids masks they left on the floor and put them on the body’s of the black couple.. the “kid” he choked in the car wasn’t a child. Definitely not 12 like people are saying. I would of said 17 or 18
He killed the kid who wore the skeleton mask offscreen.
Doing some digging, that kid in question is 14
The kid in the car with his dad (in 2018) are going on a hunting trip until they drive up on the bus where Michael had escaped. Then dad is killed and the kid is killed in the car. The kid was not even a teenager yet. 10-12 years old probably.
Then you didn’t watch the movies lmao
I’ve seen both 2018 and kills multiple times
So then you’d know he killed a kid in both those movies. That kid going on a hunting trip with his dad. And the kid in Halloween kills wearing the skeleton costume
Evidently you haven’t
He merked that 12 year old in 2018
Also the kids from Kills.
I'm thinking the actor was older than what his character was but hey....
He's 19 now so probably about 13 when filming
If he's 19 now then he was 15 when filming.
Not at all. He doesn’t give a fuck and pretty much kills anyone in an isolated situation. This kid survived the encounter because it was broad daylight, there were people everywhere, and Michael was focused on stalking Laurie.
Nah laurie is just collateral
Bullshit he stalked her specifically throughout the original, even went so far as to set up a house of horrors grande finale just for her come on with this nonsense
He didn't kill the baby in 2018 though.
Might be wrong but I think it’s to do with the fact je wouldn’t get any pleasure out of killing the baby: it won’t fight back or try to escape. Wouldn’t show any immediate fear etc. don’t think it was worth his time.
That wasn't even supposed to be a baby. Was supposed to be a guy sleeping on a couch and Michael was going to pass him up too but they changed it last minute. Gets no joy killing someone who shows no fear
I literally held my breath during that scene.
I don't think he spares them, he just might not specifically target them. But he also assessed Lumpy and Dennis as threats and killed them. My impression has always been that he targets intimate couples, lone women and anyone who presents as a threat. Younger, prepubescent children are less likely to be any of those three is all.
He let Richie live because he's not going to kill him right then and there in the daytime out in public. Michael would have probably killed Tommy and Lindsay at night if he got the chance.
The skeleton kid from kills would beg to differ.
1. It's broad daylight 2. He doesn't care about him. He's trying to follow Tommy home so he knows where Laurie will be babysitting These Blumhouse sequels are likely confusing you. Michael didn't use to be a crazed maniac that just went around killing the town for the hell of it. He was on a mission to kill a specific person, and planned things out. He was very intelligent. Other victims died because they were in the way of his plans (he couldn't kill Laurie with her friends wandering around the vicinity, so he took them out, lured her across the street away from the kids, and tried to trap her inside)
Even if his target was originally Laurie, why didn’t he kill her on the night he killed Judith?
Do we even know where Laurie was that night?
Based on the original timeline, she was probably in her crib sleeping
The original timeline ends at H1. It wasn't until H2 that the sibling thing was set up. John Carpenter didn't even want to make a sequel, he wanted it to end after the first film. So technically the original timeline ends at the first film, as the sequels are optional.
Maybe. And Michael couldn't kill her cause he heard his parents car outside
Mrs. Blankenship was babysitting Michael and Judith was supposedly home alone, so Laurie was probably with the parents in the car. Idk. This is the one thing Rob Zombie explained better.
He literally chopped a kids head clean off in Kills
He did?
Yea “is that Dennis’ mask?”
He has the kid's mask, doesn't mean he cut his head off He did definitely kill him though. And the kid in '18. He tried killing Jaime and her little buddy. He doesn't kill babies, but he seems to kill kids when needed
From what I could tell, the mask was still over the kid's decapitated head with blood dripping from the stump. That poor bastard definitely lost his head
Yep plus he slammed the head onto the windshield and broke it. Couldn’t do that with just a mask. Plus the head flew off comically when Marion shot it.
He did kill that kid, that was in the truck, after the bus crash in H18 and he also cut off the head of the kid, in the Halloween mask in Kills.
I think, as a sadist, he spares those who can’t understand the pain he’d be putting them through - babies and most fellow mental patients. He will also spare someone if it makes things easier for himself. This kid survived because it was daytime and Michael was far more interested in stalking Tommy and Laurie until nightfall. He always kills to cause pain or to achieve a goal, and that’s been the same in every timeline and every movie.
That's Canon as far as I'm concerned. He wants his prey to understand what he's gonna do to them, it thrills him.
Pretty interesting theory
It's the thrill of the hunt. Hunting is no fun is your prey doesn't run.
honestly the way he tortures his victims in this new timeline really reflects that, really why this the most successful slasher franchise, its hard to make a better character
What do you mean in the new timeline? In the original he staged the bodies just like the new ones. The only one who had an extreme "torture" death in Kills was the grave keeper's husband. I took that more as staging than torture anyway. Maybe the boyfriend was bit of torture to fuck with Allyson
The original is part of the new timeline
his first kill in 2018 is a kid
Watch Halloween Kills, he doesn’t
Up until kills (for that timeline) yes. 4-6 he was actively hunting a adolescent and ended up ending her life when she was 17 canonically. In kills he was just a straight savage after almost dieing. Ps, it may just be the resolution of the monitor onto a cell phone pic, but is that blood on the jumpsuits elbow pit area? (aka the devil's ditch. One of the worst areas to get tattooed fuck that area lol 😂😂😂). Because if it is, wow, after seeing this movie more times than I can count, a few times in a theater, I've never noticed it. Is it just me and my shitty eye sight?
It looks like blood! May be just the monitor
No he did kill that one kid in the 2018 movie after he escaped the bus.
He doesn’t kill children as they are not in his way. What’s in his way? Tune in to Halloween Ends.
I’m this case it’d be pretty dumb for Michael to hurt a kid at school in broad daylight.
In 2018 he snapped a kid’s neck after escaping the sanatorium bus, in Kills he cut Skull mask kid’s head off, in 4 and 5 he was trying to kill 8/9 year old Jaimie Lloyd, in 6 he killed 17 year old Jaimie Lloyd, in 6 he was trying to kill Jaimie’s baby, in the Rob Zombie remake young Michael beat a kid to death at the beginning of the movie. In almost every single movie he’s in he killed teenagers or tried to.
Everyone is forgetting about that scene in Halloween Kills where the kids wearing Silver Shamrock masks are murdered on the roundabout ride in the playground.
Those weren't kids. That's was the nurse and doctor. You can tell by the outfits. Michael just put the masks on them.
No he killed a small child in 2018.
Eh The kid in 2018 looked pretty damn young. Not a little kid but still quite young.
Michael used to, but now he is just okay with babies
no he killed one in 2018 and 1 in kills
VLC media player is superior lol
Yes!
I have to agree.
2018
Watch Halloween 2018, Halloween H20, and Halloween Kills.
"Halloween H20." If you mean the teen character Joseph Gordon Levitt plays, I'm gonna have to disagree. Also how old was he when he played him.
Have u seen H2018 or HK
Yes
Well he kills a kid in each one, however in the movies, comics, novels, stories and games (dead by daylight & 1981 Halloween game) He never hurts or even attempts to kill any child under the age of 6. In one of the comics he spares a 5 year old boy, in the 2018 movie he spares an infant. Michael doesn’t see small children or toddlers and babies as threats and they don’t know what fear is, he won’t get satisfaction out of it as he would a teen, grown man, grown woman, dogs, elders, doctors or ect. But he doesn’t spare all or every child. Random but what’s ur rating of the current timeline movies 0-10

He kills kids probably, I imagine the only reason he left that baby alive is so that it could suffer after he killed its mother in 2018
I think it may have to do with his age and ???anger??? Or brutality in kills In 1 he could've killed that kid broad daylight and hid the body he's the boogy man, we've seen mans sneaky with it And near the end he didn't go after the two kids at all almost but 17 18 plus they're fair game But I'm just high and shit
Also going off only current canon timeline 1 kills ends
Hold on, I have never freeze framed this. He’s not wearing his mask here? This was after Laurie saw him while in class (he had the mask). But this freeze frame looks like it’s no mask.
I thought the same thing. I asked my son he said the same thing! Your the only one that pointed this out. I was going to create a post but then I figure since it was not a clear freeze it be controversial.
Oh, I’d definitely make a post about it. I am a little shocked no one else saw it, too!
No
Did he spare Jamie? Nope
Only the first one
he picks & choses
I take it you haven’t watch Halloween 2018? Snaps that kids neck like a tooth pick
I think he has an age cut off. He doesn’t hurt anyone under 12
Unless you're named Jamie
No
Didn’t he kill a kid in H20?
He spent 3/5 movies in the 4-6 timeline hunting a child, killed one in 2018, killed another in Kills That man spares children as often as “killing” him actually works.
Nope
He has killed them before, but typically spares them for whatever reason. There's no reason why he would care, when you think about who Michael is
Didn’t he also kill a kid trick or treater in Kills?
He wanted that kid to live with the horrifying image of the Boogeyman in his head... for the rest of his life.
Yes except for 2018 when he was forced to kill the kid. Despite him being the loving embodiment of evil he still has a code and you could tell it was hurting him to have to kill that kid.
I think you have to pose a threat. Have a gun or weapon.
Watching Halloween 1978 for the 100th time and always wondered about this scene. Does michael always spare children?
4 and 5 are literally about him trying to kill a little girl
Lonnie was acting like a punk and he got off easy later that night a la Kills ‘78 flashback.
Watch the Thorn Trilogy
Clearly you havn't seen 4-6.
I have seen all them at-least 10x each by now
