Through the course of the Halloween sequence’ 12 movies, Michael Myers has been shot, stabbed, run over and blown up on multiple event. It’s honest to say he’s just about unkillable, and a brand new fan idea that’s doing the rounds on-line has tried to elucidate his obvious invincibility utilizing science.
The idea means that the masked killer shows the signs of Congenital Insensitivity to Pain (CIP), a uncommon dysfunction which renders victims impervious to ache. This might probably rationalize why Myers is ready to shrug off gunshot wounds and different accidents, however how effectively this idea holds up underneath scrutiny will depend on which Halloween movies we’re speaking about.
Let’s say you think about solely the primary two films canon. If that’s the case, then Myers’ ‘invulnerability’ might be the results of CIP however because the sequence turns into extra outlandish, the idea fails to carry water. Among the wounds the slasher icon suffers within the later sequels would virtually definitely have killed him, no matter any uncommon medical problems he suffers from. The hospital explosion on the finish of Halloween 2 and his fall down the mineshaft in Halloween 4 are however two examples.
As ScreenRant factors out, CIP diminishes the sufferer’s potential to really feel ache. It doesn’t make them invincible, so any deadly accidents inflicted on Myers ought to nonetheless kill him, albeit painlessly.
Flawed although it’s, the idea nonetheless has some benefit as there are various alternative ways to look at the Halloween sequence. Because of all of the remakes, reboots and retconning over time, the franchise has develop into the horror film equal to these ‘Select Your Personal Journey’ books. And for those who stick with the extra grounded movies, the idea works, to a sure extent.
In any case, Myers having CIP makes much more sense than him bearing an historic druidic curse, don’t you suppose?
