Why Halloween’s Michael Myers Can Never Really Die Explained By John Carpenter: "He’s An All-Purpose Character"

Halloween director John Carpenter explains why Michael Myers can never really die, calling him an “all-purpose character.” The legendary director helmed the original Halloween movie from 1978 which introduced audiences to the masked slasher named Michael Myers, though Carpenter didn’t return to direct any of the countless sequels, remakes, or reboots. With 2022’s Halloween Ends, David Gordon Green’s trilogy came to a definitive, yet divisive conclusion by killing off Michael Myers.
