Michael Myers is the main antagonist of the 2018 timeline of John Carpenter's Halloween franchise, which acts as a sequel continuity to the original 1978 slasher film of the same name while ignoring all its previous sequels. Just like in the original film, he is an emotionless and enigmatic serial killer who terrorized his hometown in Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween night of 1978. And just like all of his other incarnations, Michael of the 2018 timeline is so dangerous, powerful and terrifying, that he can easily be seen as one of the most iconic and horrifying characters in fiction ever; with only the likes of the various incarnations of Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger being able to contend with him.
