8 Crazy Fan Theories That Actually Improve Horror Movies
2. Michael Myers Is A Daddy
If you thought Michael Myers worked one day a year because he was contractually obliged to leave Friday The 13th, April Fools Day, Prom Night, Mothers Day, Thanksgiving, Graduation Day etc free for his colleagues, you were wrong. It turns out hes a stay-at-home dad, and a pretty rubbish one at that. This much can be gleaned from the Producers Cut of Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers, where it is strongly hinted that Mikey fathered a child with his niece. Someone pops the paternity question to his face (or mask, whatever), and Myers, being Myers, says nothing. Because hes Michael Myers. Who says nothing. Much to the delight of crazed fans, the question is left hanging, inviting speculation as to whether or not The Shape is really a family albums and PTA meetings kind of guy. Probably not: he doesnt do picnics and birthdays and gives Michael Jackson a run for his money in the crap dad stakes. Still, at least you know hell be around. 364 days a year, in fact.
