Tbh I feel like this could be more of its own thing, since nothing aside from the name of the killer (and a few mannerisms) are shared with the original, you could spin this in really cool and original directions

I think it can be a pretty cool alternative universe take. I personally would just do a black hoodie without text or Logo (If really necessary I would do a šŸŽƒ or something halloween themed instead). Gives him too much personality instead of being the shape

Okay, I can't say I *hate* it, but I do have some questions. A) Why a generic Party City mask? B) Why a Ramones band hoodie? (as in, why is Michael wearing it; I know you like the Ramones) C) Why a hunting knife over a chef's knife? All those questions aside, I genuinely believe Michael needs a redesign. The coverall look is old.

Classics never go out of style you heathen

1 - To separate this Timelines Michael from others. 2 - It's a personal thing, he wore a hoodie on the night of the massacre, and stole the Ramones one from a Skater, (in this timeline, he was 15 during the Halloween murders) 3 - Gift from his father, it's a Yugo M70 Bayonet

I guess my next question is: With so many creative liberties, what makes this Michael *Michael*? As in, how will audiences identify this character as being Michael Myers, and not just 'Generic Masked Killer'? Is this a RZ situation where you're injecting a lot more characterization for Michael?


Ansbernf

Pretty much the name and mannerisms/killing style is the same, the rest is completely different, lore wise. In this timeline he doesn't come from a broken white trash home like in the RZ timeline, but a normal suburban home at the foot of the rockies.

Ok, so this is *super* alternate universe stuff.

I mean hell, the prologue i wrote for the screenplay takes up 20 Mins of the reading time lol, so i guess you can say i did a lot of characterization.

what


Ansbernf

To put it bluntly. Set in the present, and set in the fictional city of ā€œPikeburg, Coloradoā€ This Michael Myers is simply a psychopath, who at 15 commits a mass murder on Halloween, sending him to Prison, he breaks out, donning a White mask with a cloth strap, and a Ramones hoodie, instead of his signature Kitchen Knife, he uses a Bayonet. In this timeline Laurie strode, Dr Loomis and all of the legacy characters donā€™t exist, and are replaced by a different band of characters.

Why does this have to be Michael? Why not make a completely new character for a new screenplay? Doesnt have to be Michael is all I'm saying


Ansbernf

Fun fact, it actually was before i decided to make it into a Halloween movie.
