Michael Myers Day – October 19th
“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.” ― Dr. Samuel Loomis
Happy Birthday Michael! On this day in 1957, Michael Myers was born in Haddonfield, Illinois. In 1963, he stabbed his first victim, his sister Judith, and since the 1978 thriller Halloween, directed and scored by John Carpenter, Michael has been entertaining us with his scary mask and big knife at the expense of, well, almost everyone in his path. 13 films have been produced in all.
