Halloween: Why Michael Myers Doesn’t Kill Children

Thanks to many young characters appearing in the 13 Halloween movies, debates on does Michael Myers kill kids or not have raged since the killer first appeared in 1978. However, despite being one of the most famous slash movie killers, he has almost never murdered a child. John Carpenter’s original Halloween introduced the audience to Michael Myers, who, on Halloween night 1963, murdered his 15-year-old sister when he was only 6. As a result, Michael was sent to Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, where he stayed for years and never spoke a single word.
