18. Michael Myers (Halloween)

What’s scarier than a big, tall man pacing himself, walking slowly behind you wearing a white expressionless mask ready to hurt  you? Michael Myers is the character described here, made famous in the movie series Halloween. Who can forget this slasher movie? It’s what made Jamie Lee Curtis famous!

In the movie, Myers is a young boy who murders his sister, Judith Myers, only to return home to Haddonfield after 15 years to carry on his hurting spree with teenagers in mind. Michael’s character is one of the old classic horror/slasher fiction characters you couldn’t get out of your head. This franchise keeps repeating itself, with new Halloween movies rising to the surface every few years. Everyone loves hating Michael Myers!
