Excited for Halloween? Well, so is he.
Haunting generations on and off-screen in a row and getting away with it, no one does it quite like Michael Myers.
The creepy, haunting slasher is back in town for the festive, spooky season. However, this time around, his motivations are different. Instead of going on a killing spree, Michael is here to spread word of his wardrobe choices—and a little fear. The legendary jumpsuit that Michael Myers has successfully scared hordes of people to their wits’ end is now available to everyone.
The piece became so famous that it was considered a fashion statement. The seemingly simple garment seems to have perfectly captured the most nefarious of inhibitions and the vilest of schemes. A perfectly casual coverall is now a signal of approaching death—bloody, painful death.
Read on below to see what makes the Michael Myers Costume for Adults so iconic and famous.
Night of Terror: Michael Myers’ Origin
Michael Myers is the main antagonist of the slasher film Halloween franchise. There are a total of 13 movies and 5 different timelines involved. The whole story begins with Michael killing his older sister, Judith Myers, at the innocent age of 6.
He is then admitted into a mental asylum to seek treatment. He escapes the asylum 15 years later and returns home to continue the slaughter of his family and anyone who gets in his way. Every year on Halloween, he makes sure that the screams piercing the night are not superficial.
Monster Behind the Mask
He is characterized by his relentless pursuit of his victims, the undeterred and iron-clad will to carry out the execution of his entire family. He’s seemingly able to take more damage than humanly possible and is believed to have supernatural abilities. Michael has survived 6 gunshot wounds and a fire without so much as a scratch.
Michal is depicted as a tall, imposing man, standing at approximately 6’9 ft. He carries a kitchen knife or a chef’s knife as his primary weapon, but switches according to the scenario. Not the kind of adaptability one would want, but okay.
He seems to have a fixation on killing his entire family, and this is set as his motivation to return every time. Michael Myers’s suit with this white, expressionless mask has become the staple of terror. His terrifying gait and appearance play up the fear factor immensely.
In the starting movies, his attacks and murders don’t have a clear motive behind them, and paint Michael as a rogue serial killer. But in the following movies, various reasons are unearthed. The story is given a cultic theme with Michael being the victim of a curse that makes him go crazy with bloodlust. Some variations suggest his sociopathic psyche led him down the path of murder.
Uniform of Death
Michael Myers is a legendary villain in the world of villains. His unredeemable actions, coupled with his elusive and scary appearance, have made him stand out in the crowd. Many serial killers come and go, but only some stay. And Michael isn’t anything if not relentless.
Michael’s terrorizing antics are well beyond the point of human understanding. His evil is somehow perfectly captured by the seemingly basic coveralls. But it is the simplicity that also enhances the evil.
Michael Myers is seen in a blueish-greyish mechanic’s coveralls with a white, expressionless mask. The combo is so lethal that it invokes fear in everyone on the pilot. His weapon of choice is a large kitchen knife, but he adapts if needed.
The streamlined, unruffled outline of the Michael Myers blue jumpsuit without any markings makes for a dangerous vibe. It allows Michael to blend into the night and the shadows and attack silently, playing it terribly to his advantage.
This shapeless, dark void of a jumpsuit also helps when Michael transforms into The Shape. This is when Michael loses all sense of self and whatever shreds of humanity he possessed, becoming an utter and complete monster. The suit is a physical representation of that transformation.
Slasher Style: Michael Myers-Inspired Looks
Jumpsuit Breakdown
Michael Myer’s costume jumpsuit is a highly fashionable and equally terrifying piece. The designer made it as a one-piece coverall from cotton. The coverall features a comfortable viscose lining that helps you wear the garment for extended periods. The coveralls also feature a zipper closure that provides a fitted silhouette and shirt-styled collar.
The jumpsuit is dark in terms of its color palette, style, and symbolism. It is the attire of a heartless, undefeatable murderer who won’t quit until he’s killed his entire family and everyone in his path. Every year on Halloween, a monster in deep blue coveralls emerges from the shadows to rain hell.
Every Halloween, Michael Myers’s jumpsuit is the highlight of the night on the other side of the screen. Fans celebrate the psychotic murderer for his unhinged, gory, and ruthless plots. He might have stopped many hearts on-screen, but off-screen, he has won countless hearts.
