FUNKO POP! MOVIES: Halloween - Michael Myers (New Pose)

Product Information

Don Shanks, who played Michael Myers in one of the sequels, and I met on the set of Married With Children in 1997. “Why don’t you come to the conventions with the rest of us?” he said. I had no idea what he was talking about.

I don't think anyone could have predicted what Halloween has become. When I saw it, I thought it was a great, scary horror film. Once it was available to watch at home, I discovered not only my friends loved it, but my friends’ parents loved it, as well. That’s when I first realized it was a big deal—and the popularity grew year and after year. When they made the sequel, you just knew it was going to be huge. I wasn’t that excited about the role, though. I had been working as an actor and stuntman for several years at that point, long enough to feel jaded about the entertainment industry. I don’t know how many times I’ve been up for parts and told it was gonna happen, only to have it fall through. John Carpenter wrote and directed the first Halloween film and went on to participate in the first two sequels in the franchise before working on the two most recent Halloween movies. Here are his films:Different concepts were bandied about before this reboot/sequel of the original 1978 Halloween movie appeared with Rob Zombie as writer, director, and producer. Crossovers had been the rage, with Freddy vs. Jason appearing in 2003, and Dimension Studios briefly considered intersecting the Halloween universe and Michael Myers with Hellraiser and the Cenobites. But Zombie ultimately won the project, with the blessing of John Carpenter, and the grim, grisly aesthetic he brought to his 2005 film The Devil’s Rejects informed Zombie’s Halloween, where a Michael Myers origin story blends with traditional sequel elements to reset the franchise and its representative material. Zombie placed Malcom McDowell in the role of Myers psychologist Dr. Samuel Loomis, and filled out his cast with regulars from the Rob Zombie House of Horrors, including Sheri Moon Zombie, William Forsythe, Bill Moseley, Sybil Danning, and Sid Haig. But for all his cultural import, Michael Myers isn’t exactly a meaty role for an actor. There are no lines and no facial expressions (except for a few seconds in the original Halloween, Michael Myers face is always behind a mask), so there’s little opportunity for artistic expression in the role. All the actor has to work with is Myers’ iconic lumbering gait and the occasional head tilt. The character is so limited that the role is often billed as “The Shape” in credits. Michael however is not without his fears as it indicated that he wears his mask to hide his face and emotions due to the fact Michael's face is seen to be normal looking and rather handsome, and since one of the sources of Michael's power is through the fear he inflicts on others, Michael could be afraid of losing that power and image if people were to see that deep down, despite his threatening presence, immense strength, and being the literal embodiment of evil, at his core, he is and will always be a mere human. In Halloween Kills, it’s hinted that the only other thing that he cares about, besides his mask, is his childhood home, as when he was a child, it's stated that he liked to stare out of his older sister's window, not because he was looking at the town, but because he was looking in his reflection. It’s very possible Michael stares into his reflection to look into himself and ponder what he is and why he is such a dark and twisted person.

I was stunt coordinator on Halloween Kills, and David Gordon Green, the director, couldn’t find the right person for The Shape. Inhuman Durability: Michael possesses immense durability, making him seemingly impossible to kill, capable of withstanding hits from cars going at high speeds, large explosions, gunshots, acids, and other blows to his body while he is still able to walk it off (generally after a short rest period of around a few seconds to a few minutes). These exercises have helped me reach a place that’s beyond judgment. Fans will say Michael is pure evil, but I don’t see it that way. I don’t judge a cat when a cat kills a mouse, because that’s its nature. I don’t judge Michael when he kills because that’s what he does.

High-level Intellect: Michael possesses incredible feats of high intelligence as he is capable of displaying the ability to learn and strategize. Inhuman Strength: Michael possesses extraordinarily immense strength as he is able to lift people off the ground with little to no struggle at all. He is also capable of breaking through strong glass and walls with no problem. I eventually went to one and the attention from fans was overwhelming. I had no idea Halloween was so popular. I also learned I couldn’t bring the memorabilia with me to fan appearances. They nearly ripped the costume to shreds. People wanted a piece of it (literally).At Least Two Unnamed People - Killed by Michael Myers after being lured to him by Nelson Christopher off-screen, mentioned. It was Halloween II, and when I went in to interview for the stunt coordinator job, I told Debra I had never seen the original. “You should take a look at it,” she said. “It’s a continuation.” I started going to the conventions 10 years ago and it’s hard to believe that I’m still talking about this low-budget horror film I did 40 years ago. The opportunity arose because I knew Donna Keegan, Jamie Lee Curtis’ stunt double on True Lies, and she was the stunt coordinator for Halloween H20: 20 Years Later. Conversely, Green mostly greyed out the mask, like it'd been decomposing in a wet basement somewhere for 40 years, a reflection of the way its owner had also stagnated in the years between Halloween (1978) and Halloween (2018). For Halloween Kills, a nasty, almost Friday the 13th sequel-ish slasher made up entirely of sound and fury, Michael emerges from a burning building, his mask grotesquely charred.

Super Mario Sunshine, The Last of Us Part 1 and 2, and Batman: Arkham City are some of his favorites. Music plays a big part in his life as well. Given that Shane's a big horror fan, you might be surprised to learn that he's a pop guy. Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, The Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato play on repeat while he's writing.

In the "Thorn" timeline, Laurie died during Michael's absence, leaving behind her daughter, Jamie Lloyd. As his niece and last surviving family member, murdering Jamie became his next goal. It is revealed that Michael's reason for targeting his own family, as well as the source of his supernatural strength, was a curse placed on him by the Thorn Cult. The curse of Thorn tasks the bearer to sacrifice his/her own family on Halloween night to spare the community from death and natural disasters. Michael is the latest bearer of the curse, with his niece his next sacrifice. It should be noted the curse is explicit only in the "Producers Cut" where Michael is depicted as a supernaturally bound slave to the cult and curse. In the theatrical cut, the curse is a theory never fully explored with Michael being driven by rage, and even Terrance Wynn describing him as pure evil. In his free time, Shane loves going for runs and playing with his 16-year-old beagle Butterscotch. Butters for short, she has been the greatest love of his and inspires him everyday, both creatively and emtionally. On top of that, he's now a huge collector. He loves Funko Pop, McFarlane Toys, and Neca's huge line of horror figures. In the last two years he has been going to a lot of conversations to buy an unhealthy amount of figures. This has also allowed him to meet some of his favorite filmmakers/actors like Mike Flanagan, Matthew Lillard, John Carpenter, Grace Caroline Curry, Steve Burns and Kathryn Newton.
