Oh Halloween…
you creepfest.
By that I mean the time of the year AND the movie.
Both unsettling.
Both very unsettling.
Halloween the movie franchise spawned the horrifying character of Michael Myers, a criminally
insane killer that kept on coming back…honestly…
you just cant get rid of him…well, I mean I guess you could turn off the TV or avoid
the cinema… but what if he was a real life killer.
Yikes.
Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest Questions, the channel that looks to answer
all kinds of queries from topics like science, pop culture, history, politics, space….and
some fun what ifs.
Halloween is fast approaching and with it comes all kinds of creepy questions.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and is there any question as creepy as What If Micheal
Myers was Actually real.
And, no, we aren’t talking about the Canadian Movie Star behind the face of Austin Powers,
who is alive and well…and always has been very real.
So – a little back story for you – In the world of Halloween Michael Myers, he was
a psychopath who heard voices in his head and saw flashbacks to young killer in Celtic
times.
At the age of 6, he dressed as a clown and killed his sister with a knife.
He spent the rest of his childhood and teenage years in a psychotic hospital in a seeming
catatonic state, after which he eventually escaped 15 years later and went on a bloody
rampage.
So, if this was all real, then I have a few questions for the healthcare system.
His psychiatrist, Sam Loomis claimed.
Michael Myers is the most dangerous patient I have ever observed.
[...] He's covering up.
This catatonia is a conscious act.
There is an instinctive force within him.
He's waiting.
Right.
So nobody heeded that warning.
Excellent.
At the very least, since he broke out in 1978, hopefully there would have been a number of
healthcare reforms and attention to psychosis.
If Michael Myers was real, then he would be one of America’s most prolific serial killers.
Gary Ridgway, aka the green river killer murdered over 70 women between the years of 1982 and
1998.
Myers, if my count is correct, has murdered 109 people between 1963 and 2018.
The Green River Killer was apprehended in 2001 – just under 20 years since his killing
spree.
The Police have known Myers identity since the 60s, and knew he would murder again in
the late 70s.
Somehow he managed to evade them for 40 years….
I mean that exposes an insane amount of police failing, right ? Surely if Michael Myers was
actually real – a higher authority than the police would be on the look out for Myers,
ready to detain him in the highest security of facilities, or on death row.
While a killer as loathsome and fearsome as Michael would certainly be a concern, I honestly
would feel more concerned if I lived in the United States.
So far as I am aware, he isn’t much of a traveller.
I am not even sure he has left the state, let alone the country.
Halloween is set in the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois.
I believe the new Halloween movie is set in Illinois, too.
Michael feels a strange sense of attachment to his childhood home, and he keeps returning
– at one point living in the sewers under his house.
After it was revealed he didn’t die as was thought, I’d probably move straight on out
of that haunted hood.
If I lived anywhere outside of Illinois, I probably wouldn’t be too worried…unless
he inspired copycat killers across the rest of the United States and world…
Surely a murderer as prolific as Michael would attract a LOT of press coverage.
If it was known that there was a serial killer on the loose – realistically people would
have increased security at their homes and maybe have some weapons ready to attack should
Michael come knocking . Perhaps some vigilantes would go out with the specific intention of
finding and terminating the menace…although the real issue here seems to be that he can’t
be terminated!
He survives fires, bullets, falling down mine shafts; the lot.
The movie alludes to his supernatural abilities, AND also seems to suggest that he can spread
evil – his niece Jaime seems to absorb his maliciousness by some kind of psychic osmosis…soo,
that is also a concern – would Myers bring disturbia to those around him?
Honestly, to me, this sounds like a job for the military.
He is an evil, maniac killer with seemingly no redeeming qualities…
send in the tanks and quarantine that dastardly menace.
Or bury him in concrete… that’s what I would do.
I just want to end this video by saying that, in some ways, people like Michael Myers are
real.
There ARE people out there with mental health issues who have not been cared for properly
in their formative years who have turned to crime or even murder.
A lot of mass murderers were diagnosed with behavioural disorders.
The Jersey Beast, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer.
Is this a signal that perhaps we need to invest more in mental health care to be able to handle
people like this while they are still receptive to help?
Just a question.
So that is what we think would happen if Michael Myers was real.
What do you guys think would happen?
Let me know in the comments section down below.
Let me know what you are dressing for for Halloween.
Thumbs up.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate, Thanks for tuning into this video, I’ll catch you in
the next, but until then stay curious, stay alert and never ever stop questioning.
