HalloweenEnds director David Gordon Green comments on whether Michael Myers is a supernatural being. 'I mean, the answer is yes and no. Sure it is if that’s what you see in it. I love that. I love interpretation.'
Ahead of the release of Halloween Ends, director David Gordon Green reveals whether he thinks Michael Myers is a supernatural being. First introduced in John Carpenter's original Halloween in 1978, Myers has since become one of the most iconic horror movie killers of all time. After several disappointing installments in the mid-2000s, Green rebooted the franchise with 2018's Halloween, bringing back Jamie Lee Curtis' final girl Laurie Strode.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Halloween Ends takes place 4 years after the events of Halloween Kills and Myers' shocking killing of Laurie's daughter Karen . Trailers have already teased that the upcoming film will feature a very intense final showdown between Laurie and Myers, including a particularly brutal kitchen fight sequence.
"I mean, I’m just not the guy for that, but when I would show early cuts of the movie to people, sometimes they’d be like, 'Oh, this is a transference of evil.' You know these things that you’re like, 'No, not literally.' I mean, the answer is yes and no. Sure it is if that’s what you see in it. I love that. I love interpretation. In fact, I think the Halloween franchise in a lot of senses thrives on ambiguity. Michael Myers’ background, for example.
How This Michael Myers Is True To The Original Movie Although other films in the Halloween franchise have leaned very heavily into the idea that Myers is a supernatural entity, Green's reboot trilogy has actually kept the villain very faithful to Carpenter's original vision. 1978's Halloween opens with Myers as a young boy, showing him killing his older sister. This short opening scene establishes that Myers, despite his disturbing need to kill, is still a human being.
The punishment that Myers withstands in Halloween Kills arguably pushes the limits of believability when it comes to whether a normal human being could survive, but Myers is clearly not a normal human. Although his ability to take punishment in the Halloween franchise certainly stretches the imagination, it's also still feasible that Green's assertion is true and Myers is just exceptionally resilient.
