Because Michael Myers is one of the most revisited characters of the horror genre, there are so many sequels, including remakes and requels. With a grand total of thirteen movies in the franchise, there are several different storylines, and things can get quite chaotic. That includes different takes on Michael’s character and whether he’s a villain.There are around four main timeline tracks in the Halloween franchise. One is the original track, starting with the 1978 Halloween by John Carpenter, up until Halloween VI: The Curse of Michael Myers. Many consider Halloween III: Season of the Witch an outlier, though. Then, of course, there’s the H20 track, which includes Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and Halloween: Resurrection. In 2007, Rob Zombie remade Halloween, starting a new timeline with Halloween and Halloween II. Finally, there’s the most recent H40 trio, 2018’s Halloween, Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends, a direct requel for the first Halloween. As such, the complicated franchise doesn’t help to resolve the mystery around Michael Myers as it bounces between making him a villain and a victim.No matter what specific movie or timeline he’s in, Michael Myers is a slasher. In every Michael-centric Halloween, even those without the iconic final girl Laurie Strode, Michael goes on a slasher spree, killing almost everyone in his sights, often in brutal ways. Starting from the very beginning of 1978’s Halloween, Michael is established as a killer when, at six years old, he stabs his teenage sister to death on Halloween night. After spending about fifteen years in a mental institution called Smith’s Grove, Michael escapes, returns home to Haddonfield, Illinois, and wreaks more havoc.Related: Michael Myers Got His Best Killing Motivation in a Divisive Halloween SequelRelated: Michael Myers Was Inspired by a Terrifying Real-Life Encounter
