Michael Myers first appears in John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) as a young boy who murders his sister, Judith Myers, and then, fifteen years later, returns home to murder more teenagers.
Some possible reasons why Michael Myers hasn't talked again since the murder of his sister is that it's part of the catatonia he tricked everyone into thinking he had, while others, based on the events of Halloween Kills, suggest he is still in shock after what happened in 1963, and he's still that little boy who ...
What made Michael Myers so terrifying in 1978's Halloween was that he didn't have a reason to go after Laurie, and he simply saw her and chose her as his target. The sequel, Halloween II, made a huge and highly divisive reveal by explaining that Laurie was actually Michael's youngest sister.
While Michael Myers's human nature made for some worthwhile Halloween reboots, it is Michael's supernatural and ultimately unexplained background that defines The Shape's identity as the boogeyman of classic horror.
In the theatrical ending of Zombie's Halloween 2, Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton) stabs Michael to death and then wears his ruined mask as she walks out to face the police gathered outside. This implied the night of terror had driven her to insanity.
The new timeline picks up on Halloween night, where the original film ends. Laurie did not learn about being Michael's sister until Part II (1982). So, because Part II no longer exists in this timeline, Laurie is never informed about any of this.
Michael only kills on or around October 31, unlike other slashers who can go on murder sprees at any moment and for as long as they please. Another possible weakness of Michael Myers could be his obsession with his targets, namely Laurie and Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), Laurie's daughter in the first timeline.
Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers features a brief moment where the title slasher cries, which is one of the series' most divisive moments. In one of the most controversial moments of the series, Michael Myers sheds a tear in Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers.
He is revealed to be inflicted with the Curse of Thorn, which drives him to kill his family. Wynn and his cult kidnap Jamie's baby, as well as Kara Strode and her son Danny. Loomis and Tommy follow them to Smith's Grove, where Michael ultimately turns against the cult and slaughters them all.
As revealed in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, a group of druids belonging to Halloween's Cult of Thorn placed a curse on Michael when he was an infant. This curse causes him to be possessed by Thorn, a demonic force that requires its host to sacrifice their family on Samhain (now known as Halloween night).

One of these killers is Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise, but it's never stated why he wears his mask. The masks in horror films help dehumanize the villains and make them scarier, as well as provide an instant hook for the advertisements.
Even though Laurie's true identity is unknown, word quickly gets out that she is Michael's sister and that the Strodes adopted her soon after her birth parents perished in a car accident just two years after Michael kitchen-knifed Judith while wearing a clown mask.
Karen Nelson, Laurie Strode's daughter, unmasked Michael Myers to protect her daughter, Allyson, in a dark and out-of-focus scene. While Halloween Ends briefly shows Michael Myers' face with severe scarring and burns, not fully revealing it keeps the spirit of "The Shape" alive.
His mother Deborah commits suicide after witnessing him killing a nurse. As an adult, Michael returns to Haddonfield to reunite with Laurie, the only person he has ever loved.
For decades, this was the only time that his parents were shown. However, it's revealed in Halloween II that during the time of his incarceration, Michael's parents died in a car accident.
In removing Michael's burnt mask in Halloween Kills, his hidden humanity and capacity to be at least temporarily stopped is shown. At the same time, the movie seemingly endorses his apparent immortality when he arises to kill again with his mask back on.
Michael was supposed to be being looked after by his sister who was babysitting him - but instead she went off to have sex. This leads to the theory that Judith choosing her boyfriend over him, saw Michael react by killing her.
Although Nick Castle played Michael Myers throughout all of Halloween, unmasked Michael was played by Tony Moran, and keeping up with the continuity of the movie, his left eye is visibly wounded. Michael quickly puts the mask back on and Loomis arrives right in time to shoot him and throw him off the balcony.
He was hungry, despite barely being a human he still needs to eat. It doesn't make a difference to him what it is, just as long as it will make him not hungry, so he just ate the dog because it was the closest edible thing to him.
1) Michael Myers always wears his mask — and he never, ever speaks. You rarely see him without his mask in any of the films. The Shatner masks have become the stuff of horror film legend. As for his voice, you only hear him speak in one film in which his childhood is explored — before he became a monster.
Jamie gets him to take off his mask and show his face to her, and even sheds a tear before falling into a murderous frenzy when she tries to touch him. Speaking with HalloweenMovies, director Dominique Othenin-Girard stated Michael cries because "Again, to humanize him, to give him a tear.
Myers is mentally resistant to all pain (physical and mental) but will suffer harm from pain just as any other living person would, he can just "power through" the injuries.
