Fictional character biography

The following biography is based on the events of the 1978 movie Halloween, the novelization of that movie and its 1981 sequel Halloween II. The fictional biography of the character Michael Myers from the 2007 movie Halloween and its 2009 sequel is slightly different.

Michael lived in the small town of Handofield,illinois, with his parents, Donald and Deborah Myers, and with his sisters Judith and Laurie. He was always a loner, and a rather strange child.

On Halloween 1963, Michael, then 6 years old, heard voices in his head which told him to kill his 17 years old sister Judith. When he heard them, he went to kitchen and grabbed a huge knife. He went upstaris to her bedreoom and stabbed her multiple times. After he had killed her, he went outside where his father discovered him wearing a clown costume and holding the kinfe he used to murder his sister.

Afterwards, Michael was sent to the Smith's Grove mental institution, where he spent the next fifteen years of his life. His mother, Deborah, visited him constantly, but Michael paid little attention to her, instead keeping himself busy by making masks. In 1978, a 21 year old Michael escaped, and made his way back to Handofield to search for his sister Laurie.

Michael arrives in Handofield shortly before Halloween and steals some items, including a Halloween mask, from a hardware store. On Halloween night Michael murders many of Laurie's friends but fails to kill his sister Laurie herself. At the end Michael is shot multiple times by Doctor Samuel Loomis, who formerly cared for him at the Smith's Grove mental institution, and falls of a balcony. However when Doctor Loomis goes downstaris to examine Michael corpse, he discovers that it has disapeared.
