Feed Me Brains posted a pretty wild article some time back, discussing a life sized Michael Myers that if you found in your house, you’d would probably stick your head in a garbage disposal and grind away. This is one tough looking hombre with bloody butcher’s knife held firm in a pasty white hand.

While not sharing the same magnetism that makes Jason Vorhees the ladies man, Michael is more of the Energizer Bunny of serial killers. Plus, I enjoy his theme music. If I were on a babysitting gig and the music kicked into high gear, sure I’d be a little disappointed about leaving this world, but I wouldn’t have any complaints about the tune.

About the prop itself:

The body and head movement is great. It feels very random. He turns his body side to side, and he turns his head and eyes. He also raises his arm, but I was disappointed with this movement for two reasons. First, the up and down slashing of his arm looks very robotic. It’s too slow to come across as a threatening movement. I knew it would be like this from seeing the online video. The other bothersome aspect is the position in which he holds his knife. The knife points upward. It should be pointing downward as if he were stabbing someone. It just looks awkward. Now that I think about it, I might have been able to reverse the knife when I placed it in his hand. I’ll have to check when he comes out for Halloween 2010. One final complaint about the knife. I don’t know if this was a defect with my model or a problem with all the Myers out there, but getting the knife handle into his hand was difficult. The pre-cut holes didn’t line up nicely and it was a frustrating job to say the least! They should have done a better job cutting the holes or better yet, the knife handle should have come already placed in his hand. (The blade gets attached to the handle after assembly to keep it from getting damaged.)

Can you imagine coming home and seeing this bad boy in the door? It’d be the gag of the century.
