History:

Michael Audrey Myers was born on Saturday October 19th, 1957in Haddonfield, Illinois. His parents were Donald Myers and Edith (Nordstrom) Myers. He had two sisters, Judith Margaret and Laurie Anne, respectively. The Myers family was Protestant and all three children were raised in a nurturing, caring setting. Their two-story Victorian home at 45 Lampkin Lane was located in the quiet, northwest section of Haddonfield. In their vicinity was the posh, tree-lined boulevard of Orange Grove, home to the city's cleanest and quality-built residences.

Michael was prone to bedwetting in times of extreme low self-esteem. He spent much time by himself contemplating his role in the family and desperate to succeed his parents' expectations. In many ways, Michael was both mature and immature for his age. Because of his time spent frequently alone, he claimed to hear voices—audible only to him.

Michael and Laurie both shared curiosity and timidity, but Michael was notoriously shy, often clinging to his mother. When not in her presence, he sought the company of his maternal grandmother; she seemed to understand him, in some ways, more than anyone. Michael's grandmother was more disciplined than his own birth parents, but was cold and unloving. She chastised her daughter Edith simply for buying a costume for Michael. She believed that allowing Michael to participate in the spirit of Halloween would further contribute to her grandson's, and even America's, moral decline.

When Michael's parents had to go out, they often leave him in the care of his neighbor across the street Mrs. Blankenship. Unbeknownst to the Myers family, Mrs. Blankenship was a member of a local cult known as "The Thorn". To entertain Michael, Blankenship told him stories of the cult. The Thorn Cult believed that every so often to protect the village (or in this case, the human race) a member must be chosen to sacrifice his family on Halloween. The Thorn chose Michael to fill this role. After months of intense brainwashing through Blankenship's stories, Michael became deeply committed to the Thorn beliefs. They convinced him that in order for everyone else to be ok, Michael would have to kill his entire family, starting with his sister Judith. After realizing that he would be quickly incarcerated, Michael was told that the facility where they would put him was a local base for cult operations and a resident doctor (Terrence Wynn) would look after him and nurture him as the years went by.

On ThursdayOctober 31st, Donald and Edith, during breakfast, announced they planned to go out to dinner and then see a film at the Lost River Drive-In, a popular gathering site in Haddonfield. Judith already had plans to spendHalloween with her boyfriend Frank Greene. Michael and Laurie were going to be babysat by their neighbor Mrs. Blankenship. After school that day, Judith escorted Michael and Laurie across the street to the stately Blankenship residence. Judith embraced her two siblings and left with Frank down the sidewalk toward town. Don and Edith were going to catch a re-showing of Psycho and would return home at about 12:00 AM.

Laurie was only age two and Michael was age six. He was constantly checking the window for his sister Judith to return home. When he finally saw her return home with her boyfriend, he became filled with hate. When the couple entered through the front door, Michael quickly snuck out of the Blankenship house. He dodged behind tall lawn trees. He then silently crept up the front sidewalk to his house and saw the couple making out in the foyer. He then went to the side of the house and peeked through the living room window. Judith, so caught up in the moment, forgot her two young siblings were being babysat. When Frank asked if they were alone in the house, Judith replied, "Michael's around here someplace." The two lovers then agreed to continue their fun upstairs. Michael saw Judith's second-story bedroom light go out. He then entered his house through the back door and located a butcher knife in a kitchen drawer. He slowly made his way through the house. From around the corner, Michael saw Frank hastily leaving the house. He promised to call Judith the next day and then he left. Michael slowly made his way upstairs as a clock chimed at 10:00 PM. He found Judith seated in front of her vanity dresser combing her hair, wearing only underwear. A shocked Judith turned to see her young, costumed brother in her bedroom. Michael then repeatedly stabbed his sixteen-year-old sister in the chest.

Michael made his way outside just as his parents arrived home. Don removed Michael's mask. Michael himself was shocked at what he had just done and stood silent on the front sidewalk.

Within days, local doctors in Haddonfield and the neighboring counties insisted that Michael be sent to the newly constructed facility of Smith's Grove-Warren County Sanitarium, 150 miles away in western Illinois. Dr. Samuel J. Loomis was recently placed on staff at Smith's Grove by chief administrator, long-time friend, and medical colleague Dr. Terence Wynn. Not even 20 years before, Loomis had served inWorld War II for the United Kingdom, but suffered injuries and could no longer fight in combat. He soon after studied medicine and later moved to the United States to practice. He had some minor successes as a medical doctor, but he specialized in child psychiatry.

Michael was initially placed under Loomis' watch and care for four hours each day for a period of six months. On May 1st, 1964, Dr. Loomis met two senior medical officials in the hospital's forum chamber. Loomis pleaded to the point of begging that Michael be transferred to "the maximum security ward in Litchfield." The officials brushed off Loomis' request, believing that Michael was merely a "catatonic", whom "exhibits comatose behavior... no reaction to external stimuli." Loomis' extensive notes provided clues that Michael's "catatonia" was an ingenious cover for what he truly was: a remorseless, predatory psychopath. Loomis realized he couldn't win the debate, and so finally agreed to keep Michael as his patient; as he didn't trust anyone else to look after him.

During the 15 years Michael spent at Smith's Grove, Loomis tried for the first eight to get him to speak and reply, but soon became convinced that the young man was truly evil. The remaining seven years were spent desperately trying to convince the superior doctors to transfer him to a facility with tighter security. At the time of his 21st birthday on October 19th, Michael was to be presented to court in his home county. The verdict was going to determine further incarceration or freedom. The trial date for the murder of his older sister was pushed two weeks later for November 1st. Michael realized his younger sister Laurie was now age 17. He also knew that Dr. Loomis would do everything to keep him locked up, so he made up his mind to escape. Even though he tried to convince the doctors a man named Dr. R.J. Black spoke with Dr. Loomis; Black told Loomis that Michael was cursed with "The Thorn," where a young man must kill his own family for survival (Dr. Black neglected to mention how dangerous Michael could be if he escaped.) Loomis considered this.

October 30, 1978, Michael hijacked the car meant for his court transfer. The car was driven by Loomis' medical colleague and assistant Nurse Marion. After nearly attacking Marion, Michael got into the car and speedily drove off. His destination was his hometown of Haddonfield.

On the following day, October 31st, Michael had returned back to his childhood house, which is now vacant, run-down, and on the market under Strode Realty. That morning from inside, he saw a teenage girl leave a key under the front door mat.

He followed Laurie while she was in school, while she walked home from school with her friend Annie who shouted "Speed Kills!" and Michael followed them as they rode along to baby-sit in another neighborhood. Laurie sits for Tommy Doyle while Annie sits for Lindsey Wallace. Later on, to pick him up. Lindsey is taken across the street to continue watching The Thing from Another World with Tommy and Laurie. Soon after when Annie returns to her car, Michael kills her.

Later on, Annie's other friend, Lynda, and her boyfriend Bob showed up at the Wallace residence, where Michael also killed them. He then propped the three bodies in the upstairs bedroom. Just before Lynda's death, Laurie had received a strange phone call from Lindsey's house. Laurie decided to go across the street and investigate. When she arrived, she thinks her friends are playing pranks on her. To her horror she discovered the gruesome display of his victims and his sister's headstone. When Michael was within reach of Laurie, he stabbed her in the left shoulder. Laurie fled and Michael pursued her.

He stalked her all the way to the Doyle residence. Laurie instructed Tommy and Lindsey to call the police from a neighbor's house. After they took off, Michael once again went after Laurie, now attempting to strangle her to death. Loomis, who had been on his patient's path the whole day, appeared in time and shot Michael six times at point-blank range. Michael then fell from a second-story balcony. Despite his seemingly fatal injuries, however, he mysteriously disappeared.

Continuing on the night of Tuesday October 31st, 1978, Dr. Loomis exits the Doyle house and walks onto the front lawn. He inspects the spot where Michael had landed and finds a patch of blood, and by the body outline on the lawn he instinctively knows that he shot Michael in the heart. Before others suffer the fate of death at the wrath of his patient, Dr. Loomis resumes his relentless search for Michael along with Sheriff Leigh Brackett. The traumatized Laurie Strode is taken by ambulance to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital for her injuries obtained during the chase and attacks.

Interrupting an annual television broadcast of Night of the Living Dead, Haddonfield reporter Robert Mundy has arrived on the scene of the Wallace residence located on Orange Grove Boulevard. He confirms that three teenagers, two girls, one boy, have been found murdered in an upstairs bedroom. Soon after, Loomis and Brackett spot a mysterious man wearing a similar mask slowly walking down a sidewalk. Loomis gets out of the sheriff’s car, equipped with his personal firearm, and trails after the costumed figure. Brackett follows closely behind Loomis, but a speeding police vehicle slams into the masked individual colliding him into a parked van. The two vehicles explode, trapping the man in an inferno. The police official leaves his car virtually unharmed, but Loomis wonders if Michael was the victim in flames. Brackett forcefully screams to Loomis "Is it him? Is it him, or not!”. Brackett’s police deputy Gary Hunt quickly arrives on the scene to confirm that there are three youths found dead across the street from the Doyle house. He believes that one of the teenagers is the sheriff’s own daughter, Annie.

Assured he is well out of Loomis’ reach, for the time being, Michael returns in pursuit of his sister Laurie. While making his way on foot in downtown Haddonfield, he overhears a radio announcement declare that the seventeen-year-old Laurie Strode had been transported to Haddonfield’s main hospital.

Michael soon after arrives at H.M.H. and later manages to slowly kill off the hospital’s principal staff: the security guard, a senior doctor, an ambulance driver, and four nurses, including Head Nurse Virginia Alves, whom Laurie befriended. Jimmy Lloyd, an orderly and a student at a local college, reveals to Laurie that the radio and television broadcasts have identified her attacker: Michael Myers. She acts confused in the presence of her new friend as to why that the man who was "that little kid who killed his sister" would be after her at all. Later on, she dreams about a moment she experienced seven years earlier. When Laurie was age ten, she once visited her attacker at the institution where he was being held. She also remembers the day her adoptive mother Pamela Strode confessed she was not her biological mother. Laurie then has flashbacks of her real family and remembers she once had an older sister who was killed by her older brother, then a six-year-old. She realizes that it is her own brother who is after her. Laurie is clued in to the near presence of her feared tormentor when the hospital goes dark and the staff isn’t around. Since the telephone in her room wasn’t working, she decides to search for a working phone and then try escaping on foot.

Dr. Loomis and Deputy Hunt meet a dentist named Graham at his office. The burned corpse is unveiled and Graham checks the teeth determining the man is young, at about age seventeen or eighteen. Loomis says Michael Myers is twenty-one and that everyone must assume he is still alive. Deputy Hunt then instructs his associate patrolman that all police officials do a sweep of the city from Chestnut Avenue to the Bypass checking every street, house, and backyard for the escaped patient.

Later on, Nurse Marion Chambers arrives in town to tell Loomis he is wanted back at the Smith’s Grove–Warren County Sanitarium, not just by his senior doctors, but also by the Illinois governor himself. News of Michael’s first escape, the killing of three teenagers, being shot at, and his second escape had reached all over the state. Loomis feels that he cannot leave until he finds him. Accompanied by Marion is an Illinois state marshal whom is instructed to transport Loomis back to Smith’s Grove. When all hope of finding Michael is lost, Loomis reluctantly agrees to go back with Marion.

While on route to Smith’s Grove, Marion reveals "that girl, that Strode girl, that’s Michael Myers’ sister." Loomis realizes why Michael "came home" to Haddonfield. He killed one sister fifteen years ago, now he has returned to kill the other. Loomis fires a warning shot into the front passenger window, and the marshal swiftly turns the car around and the trio returns back into town to locate Laurie.

At the hospital, Michael is after Laurie once again. Marion and Dr. Loomis arrive and rescue her. Loomis shoots Michael five times, rendering him immovable [momentarily]. The marshal sees Michael’s body collapse, honestly believing Loomis succeeded in killing him saying that "He’s dead." Loomis shouts "No he’s not! Look at him! He’s still breathing!" Loomis then instructs Marion to call for help from the marshal’s Citizens' Band radio. Even after being shot a total of eleven times, Laurie sees Michael lying on the floor wondering, "Why won’t he die?" Loomis shouts for the marshal to get away from Michael, but then the killer rises up and slits the marshal’s throat with a scalpel. Dr. Loomis and Laurie take off in the darkened hospital hoping to find a good hiding place.

Michael locates the pair in a rear operating room. Laurie reluctantly takes one of Loomis’ firearms and shoots Michael in the face, just barely missing his eyes. Loomis and Laurie fill the room with fresh oxygen and ether by turning on nearby tanks. Dr. Loomis frees Laurie from the room and then ignites a cigarette lighter. With the hospital on fire containing the psychiatrist and his patient, it is assumed that the explosion had killed them both.

Laurie soon after sees Michael engulfed by fire walk out of the operating room. She watches in fear as her brother comes increasing closer. But the fire weakens the psychopath and he collapses on the floor. Until twenty years later, watching Michael lying on the floor in flames is Laurie’s last memory of him. For the next score of years, she hoped that Michael had died from being burned to death, but even fire couldn’t stop him from continuing his pursuit of living family relatives.

On the following morning of WednesdayNovember 1st, Laurie is pushed in a wheelchair by Nurse Marion to an ambulance. Laurie is apparently to be taken to a bigger hospital for further treatment.
