Michael Myers ia a made-up character from the Halloween series.  In Halloween, produced in 1978, he was a young boy, only six years old when he  murdered his older sister, Judith.  He is then taken to a Sanitarium. 

     Fifteen years passed, and Michael escapes the sanitarium where he came back home to stalk and then murder more teenagers.  He attempts to kill Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, but she fights him long enough for Michael's psychiatrist, Dr. Sam Loomis to find him.  Although Loomis shoots Michael six times in the chest and Michael falls off the house's second story balcony, when Loomis goes to find Michael's body, it is missing. 

     Loomis learns that Laurie is Michael's younger sister, and Michael will not stop until he can find and kill Laurie.  In Halloween 4, ten years later, Michael has again been held at a Sanitarium, but he learns that Laurie was killed in a car accident, but that her daughter is alive, so Michael escapes to find her daughter, Jamie.  Michael is found by the police and he is shot several times until he falls down a mine shaft. 

    Halloween 5 has Michael escaping the mine shaft and helped by a local hermit.  Michael kills the hermit and begins to look for Jamie again.  In the next few films, Michael continues to try to kill his sister, killing everyone in the path.  He finally kills her in Halloween H20:  20 Years Later.  

     In closing, if you are looking for a scary costume for Halloween, why not choose the villain of the Halloween movies, Michael Myers.  His look is very scary!
