Most of the time, he's just Not Quite Dead. Back from the Dead: Not as bad as Jason or Freddy though.Bad People Abuse Animals: Kills and eats a dog in the first film, and his mistreatment of animals has been a character trait of his across all media.Axe Before Entering: Either this or he just smashes his way through doors.Ax-Crazy: Michael is somewhat of a subversion, in that he is more calm and quiet than crazy, but is still a cold-blooded homicidal maniac without conscience who is driven to kill.Awesomeness by Analysis: According to the novelization, this is how he was able to escape from Smith's Grove without a driver's license: he observed Loomis driving very carefully, to the point that he could procure a getaway vehicle when the time came.Antagonist Title: The fourth, fifth, and sixth films all feature his name in the subtitle ( The Return of Michael Myers, The Revenge of Michael Myers, and The Curse of Michael Myers respectively).Michael isn't terribly fond of dogs either. Animals Hate Him: Dogs hate Michael, barking ferociously at the sight of him.Ambiguously Human: In stark contrast to say, Jason or Freddy, Michael seems to be an ordinary (albeit ridiculously tough and strong) man, but it's heavily implied he's only this on the outside.Loomis is so baffled by what drives Michael that in the end he diagnoses him (possibly correctly) as pure evil. There is clearly something up with him mentally, but as far as the films are concerned it's beyond human understanding. Ambiguous Disorder: Michael never speaks, behaves in horrifyingly violent ways sometimes without warning, and his obsession with Halloween might link to a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.Jamie also calls him "the Nightmare Man" in 4. The Adjectival Man: Referred to as the "Boogeyman" by the characters until they learn his name.Oh, and the fucker gets away with everything. He also makes it very clear he Would Hurt a Child by slashing a boy's throat, and has apparently been pure evil since birth, fantasizing about cutting open his mother's stomach while Laurie was in the womb. Not only does he kill without remorse as usual, but he also takes time to sadistically torture and humiliate his victim for sick thrills. Adaptational Villainy: As bad as he normally is, Michael is somehow even worse in the Devil's Due comics.The book explores Michael's psyche more thoroughly than the films and offers a possible theory why this kid became a killer, but it doesn't hold back on his evil actions at all and shows he ultimately came to embrace the dark forces tempting him. Adaptational Heroism: Subverted in the original novelization.Wilbur ( 4 and The Curse), Erik Preston (age 6, "psychic vision"), Tom Morga (bandaged Michael, uncredited) ( 4), Don Shanks ( 5), Chris Durand ( H20), Brad Loree ( Resurrection) Played by: Tony Moran, Nick Castle, Will Sandin (age 6) ( the original film), Dick Warlock, Adam Gunn ( II), George P.
