10 Things You Didn't Know About Michael Myers
1. He (Probably) Fathered A Child With His Niece
Halloween 5 introduced a sinister Man In Black who sprung Michael and Jamie from prison at the end of the movie, and Part 6 makes it clear that the character is in fact Dr Wynn, the administrator of Smith’s Grove Sanitarium and leader of The Cult Of Thorn. Wynn is played by Mitchell Ryan who, perhaps not coincidentally, was also Gary Busey’s boss in Lethal Weapon, so as the Personification of All That Is Evil, he’s pretty well-cast.
Anyway, Jamie, who is now fifteen, is first shown giving birth and if you watch the “legendary” Producer’s Cut, it’s strongly hinted that Michael is the father. When I say ‘strongly hinted’, I mean someone pops the paternity question to his face (or mask, whatever) and Myers, being Myers, says nothing. Because he’s Michael Myers. Who says nothing. So the question is left hanging, which if you think about it is A Good Thing. All those dark undercurrents, you know?
Also, without wanting to dwell on the subject too much, The Shape isn’t really a family albums and PTA meetings kind of guy. He likely doesn’t do picnics and birthdays and such and would be a lousier parent than Michael Jackson. Still, at least you know he’ll be around.
