Biography Flash: Michael Myers' Haddonfield Takeover - Games, Reboots, and Existential Dread
Michael Myers Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
If you thought Michael Myers was lying low this week, you clearly haven’t been on horror Twitter, or in my inbox, or, uh, inside my dreams—which now feature motion capture suits and giant garlic chariot floats. Yup, we’re living in the era of the *Michael Myers Extended Universe,* where the biggest news in 2025 is that the most iconic slasher in cinema keeps getting reimagined—sometimes literally, right down to the polygon count. So, what are the headlines? Spoiler: These are all hypothetical (unless Michael Myers has really hacked my RSS feed), but they’re based on the avalanche of new game and reboot news, so let’s jump in.
First up, Illfonic and Gun Media—the gang behind “Friday the 13th: The Game”—just confirmed a new *Halloween* video game for next year. Give it up for Gen Z, getting their Michael Myers via downloadable content instead of Blockbuster VHS. This time, you don’t just run from Michael, you play AS the Shape. You want to relive the original 1978 John Carpenter bloodbath from Michael’s POV? Well, buckle up, because the single-player story starts in Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, promises in-engine cinematics, and—get this—a full extended sequence at Phelps Garage. Finally, we get to see how Myers picked out his murder coveralls. Also, the game will let you wield everything from the classic kitchen knife to a baseball bat, axe, even a mallet, for all your DIY boogeyman needs. The developers call the supernatural teleporting “Shape Jumping.” Me? I call it “plot armor with Wi-Fi.” But hey, I’m just a podcaster.
Nick Castle (the original Michael Myers, bless his silent stares) is back in the motion capture suit—sometimes tag-teaming with TJ Storm—so if you wanted Michael Myers to be extra limber, 2026 is your year. Social media is losing its mind over playable new civilian characters, secret collectibles, and multiple endings; if Myers ever decides to open an Etsy shop, you can say you heard it here first.
The OG Halloween movie hits theaters again this October—in over 80 markets—for anyone who thinks fear tastes better with stale popcorn and the faint whiff of nostalgia. Soundtrack still slaps, by the way.
Meanwhile, people are hyped about the upcoming TV reboot that reimagines the story from—yep—the killer’s point of view. So, for all of you wondering whether ambiguous evil needs backstory, get ready to have every loose end tied up, and then triple-knotted—in glorious high definition.
I’ll leave you with this: somewhere online, someone’s already argued the best Myers weapon is not a knife but “the existential dread of suburban ennui.” Honestly, that’s why I lock my doors.
