Michael Myers Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Alright, people, welcome back to “Biography Flash” with Marc Ellery—that’s me, your host who knows exactly how to pronounce “Haddonfield” but still cannot remember to pay his Hulu bill on time. Today’s super-spooky, very special update: the Michael Myers Flash. Yes, the boogeyman needs no introduction, but he’s getting one anyway.

So, what’s Michael Myers been up to this past week—aside from glaring at suburban windows with that head tilt only a psychopath or a confused dog could pull off? Oh, just dominating the zeitgeist again, thanks to a major bit of news that’s caused parts of the internet to melt down in panic and glee: the fresh gameplay trailer for the “Halloween” video game dropped and, let me tell you, it’s already dividing fans harder than someone arguing that Rob Zombie’s remake is canon.

Here’s the scoop: at this week’s PlayStation State of Play, we finally got a look at Michael Myers’ new “Shape Jump” ability. The gist? Now, Michael can vanish and reappear to stalk his prey—kind of like his usual trick in the movies, except now it’s all sparkly and digital. Reactions have varied widely. On Twitter, the “hardcore Myers Stans”—and yes, that’s apparently what we’re calling them—are split. Some call it iconic. Others are having an existential crisis about whether the most menacing thing about Michael should be supernatural powers or, you know, just the world’s meanest walk[The Popverse; Halloween Daily News; TheGamer].

Is this just a cheap Jason knockoff? Is Michael going full ghost? Social media is on fire—half want to cosplay his teleport, half want to throw their consoles in the nearest pumpkin patch. Personally, I think Shape Jump could use a patch right out of the box—but hey, I’m the guy who lost to my niece at Wii Bowling, so what do I know.

And yes, original Myers actor Nick Castle is back, suiting up for motion capture alongside T.J. Storm, which means you get the true “you can’t kill the boogeyman” energy. Nick even went back and watched the original movie to make sure he got his murdery swagger just right. Commitment, people, commitment.

On the merch front, NECA just teased a Michael Myers Ultimate Action Figure from “Halloween 6.” Is it accurate? Yes. Is it terrifying? Absolutely. Did it immediately get added to my shopping cart—I mean, my trusted research folder? No comment[Bloody Disgusting].

And as if Myers fever isn’t wild enough, the *actual* John Carpenter got his long-overdue star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this month, which is probably the best excuse for a masked silent weirdo to stand around Hollywood Boulevard since, well, last Thursday[JoBlo; Love Horror].

To sum up: Michael Myers is as relevant as ever, sparking arguments and headlines nearly a half-century after that first fateful stroll through Haddonfield.
