Halloween Kills Ending Explained - What's Next For Michael Myers?
5. Michael Myers, Supernatural Entity
As Halloween Kills ends with Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode commenting how Michael Myers "transcends" with the more people he murders, some may have taken that as an indicator that The Shape is some supernatural entity that is very much not human.
Throw in his miraculous recovery from a knife in the back, a pitchfork stuck in him, a baseball bat beating and even being shot, and one could clearly lean towards Michael being an otherworldly presence as a way to explain all of this.
Straight from the mouth of director David Gordon Green, though, Michael Myers is still merely a flesh 'n' bones human.
Speaking to Den of Geek, Green shot down those theories that Michael is a supernatural figure:
"I believe he is flesh and blood, but I believe the interpretation of what Michael Myers has become is cosmic. I think Michael Myers, in our true Earth, has brought nightmares to millions of people. The boogeyman, just as much as the shark in Jaws, has kept millions of people away from the ocean. So you have that beautiful study of what is fear? Is fear the reality of looking someone in the eye when they've got a knife in your house? How does that compare to the paranoia and the uncertainty, and the expectation of what's around the corner and what's in the closest, what's under the bend? How the boogeyman has supercharged the anxiety and emotions of his own community is sort of what this movie studios."
In a separate chat with Collider, the filmmaker added how his concept for The Shape "is that he's capable of spectacular things but not impossible [things]" and reiterated that he doesn't "personally see [Michael] as supernatural".
With that in mind, it feels as if Halloween Ends will have to have some solid explanations up its sleeve when it comes to how Michael Myers survived some of the attacks on him in Halloween Kills.
