8. Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers

Michael Myers no longer resembles John Carpenter€™s creation: having been stabbed, blinded, blown up, run down and hit by 500 rounds of ammunition, he€™s now a comic book super villain with an adamantium skeleton and a unique healing ability €“ Wolverine in a Halloween mask.

Fortunately, The Curse Of Michael Myers has a plausible explanation for this. All along, Mikey was being manipulated by a group of druids who contacted him using a constellation of stars that only appears on Halloween. The constellation is in the shape of a thorn, so the symbol is tattooed on the wrist of every member, including Myers, something every previous and future movie forgets to mention.

Just so we€™re clear, though, these are not the druids of Iron Age Britain but Hollywood Bullsh*t Druids who live in an ultra-secret underground bunker (accessible through an unlocked and unguarded door marked €˜Maximum Security€™), dress like Emperor Palpatine and talk in the solemn manner of low-rent movie villains. By sending Myers to kill teenagers every October 31st, they intend to associate Halloween in everyone€™s mind with a horrific event.

Which they do.
