Michael Myers Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Alright, welcome back to Michael Myers Biography Flash. I'm Marcus Ellery, and yes, we're doing a biography update on a fictional serial killer. Because apparently, my journalism degree was just gathering dust, so why not pivot to covering a guy who exists solely to stab teenagers in increasingly creative ways?
So here's where we are with The Shape himself. The big news dropping this fall is that the original Halloween, along with Halloween 4 and Halloween 5, are hitting theaters again this October through CineLife Entertainment. They're running screenings straight through Halloween night, October 31st. And get this, Cinemark is doing a one-night-only screening of Halloween II on October 17th, complete with a collectible Michael Myers popcorn bucket. Because nothing says "enjoy your snack" quite like eating kernels out of a mass murderer's head. I'm sure the marketing team really workshopped that one.
But wait, there's more. The Halloween video game that IllFonic is cooking up for 2026 just revealed that Nick Castle, the original Michael Myers from the 1978 film, is doing motion capture work alongside stuntman TJ Storm. So yeah, Castle is literally teaching a digital version of himself how to walk menacingly. That's got to be a weird gig. "Okay Nick, now shuffle forward like you're perpetually angry at babysitters."
Meanwhile, Trick or Treat Studios announced their new Micro Maniacs toy line, featuring a jack-o-lantern that opens to reveal the Myers house with tiny figures of Laurie and Michael. It's like Polly Pocket, but make it homicidal. And Rob Zombie's version of Michael is getting an eight-inch action figure in their Scream Greats line. Collectors, start your wallets.
So there you have it. Michael Myers, a character who debuted in 1978, is somehow more culturally active than most living celebrities. He's in theaters, video games, toy aisles, and probably haunting someone's nightmares as we speak.
