The Halloween movies are notorious for their knife-scenes. Most people die in Halloween movies by knife. A lot of the Halloween movie cover arts even featured a knife, including Halloween (1978), Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989), Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995), Halloween: Resurrection (2002), Halloween (2007) and Halloween II (2009). So, how big was the knife used in the movies? What type of knife did Michael Myers use? Was there any reasoning in choosing a blade? Horror Enthusiast has searched the annals of Halloween movie horror to find the truth!
What Kind of Knife Is Used In the Halloween Movies?
Most Halloween fans understand that an encounter with Michael’s blade normally means instant death. Most Michael Myers fans, however, do not know much about the knife itself. A lot of fans have suggested that it is a chef’s knife and they are correct: Michael’s knife is a wide bladed chef’s knife.
Michael Myer’s first knife in John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978) was a 17” Lamson chef’s knife. The measurement is the full length of the entire knife, tip to end of handle. The knife is so long that when Michael deeply stabs a victim, he can penetrate through their entire body and actually ‘stick’ them to the wall.
Every movie has featured a different knife. Some fans have even pointed out that different knives are used even in the same movie (sometimes it is necessary to show a bigger knife in some scenes for it to be visible at all). It has been speculated that the largest knife Michael has ever used was in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). It is said that he had used a 19” knife in this sequel!
Final Words About Michael’s Blade
The Halloween movies tapped into a fear extremely close to home: that even a small child could become a stone cold slasher. No one wants to see innocent turn evil, which is exactly what happens with Michael. That said, Michael Myers would only be half as scary without his knife.
Michael’s creepy mask and stalking nature may inspire fear in anyone; however, his huge, shiny, reflective blade may be the biggest reason to RUN!
Tritone’s love of horror and mystery began at a young age. Growing up in the 80’s he got to see some of the greatest horror movies play out in the best of venues, the drive-in theater. That’s when his obsession with the genre really began—but it wasn’t just the movies, it was the games, the books, the comics, and the lore behind it all that really ignited his obsession. Tritone is a published author and continues to write and write about horror whenever possible.
The famously silent Halloween horror slasher, Michael Myers, has been mentally probed and analyzed for decades (both within his movies and also by real life psychologists). And up until recently, there has only been generalized speculation, rather than factual analysis; Thus, Horror Enthusiast has broken down the specifics of Michael’s personality to come up with the most accurate Myers-Briggs personality type possible for the killer. After all of his killings, he deserves a proper personality assessment!
What Myers-Briggs Personality Type Would Michael Myers Have?
Michael Myers is an INT-J Myers-Briggs personality type.
There are a lot of factors to consider when determining Michael Myers’ Myers-Briggs personality type. These broken down personality traits have contributed to his suspected personality type.
A Quiet Killer
Michael Myers is notoriously mute. Unlike other horror movie slashers, who often enjoy taunting their victims, Michael prefers not to speak to anyone, killing or not. His withdraw from the world and quiet-like characteristics greatly contribute to his personality type, and especially the fact he is an introvert (hence the “I,” in his personality type).
Inward Delusions
The masked killer is highly interested in one thing and one thing only: seeking out his family for intense therapeutic killings. He is hardly concerned with the rest of the world and usually slays anyone in his way without hesitation. Most importantly though: he only seeks out the one thing he wants and is concerned with: killing his family. Michael’s inner delusions also contribute to the “I” (Introversion) in his personality type.
Michael Lacks Strategy
Michael may stalk his victim, he may chase his victim, and he may kill his victim…but his strategies are left lacking. He is often outsmarted by his victims several times before he gets his hands on them long enough to kill. He probably spends far too much time thinking about the overall goal of slaying his sister or other family members…leaving him more impulsive in the present. Although it’s a close call between “S” sensing or “N” intuition, Horror Enthusiast speculates Michael relies on his intuition more than his factual judgment of situations, contributing to his score as an “N” Intuitive.
A Little Unrealistic
Ultimately there are many survivors in the Halloween movies, meaning Michael sets his goals a little too high! In fact, his plans for killing are often so simple it’s a wonder how any of them work out. Expecting to take out anyone standing in the way of a heroine in any horror movie, is typically unrealistic…as they always bring out the big guns towards the end of all the films. Yet he keeps coming back based on inner desire to kill, further locking into place the score of “N” Intuition.
Singular Thoughts
Many speculate that Michael has no compassion, including Dr Loomis himself. Many (both on screen and off screen) have also speculated that Michael is not even human, or capable of human emotions. He does not seem to care about any of his family, less for a few scenes here and there (most notably reaching out for his sister before she decapitates him in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later [1998]). Ultimately, these very few instances of empathy do nothing for his overwhelming identification as a “T” Thinker.
Problem Solver
Although he may be a little mentally slower than other horror movie slashers, Michael is still a problem solver. When he is met with a defiant victim, someone who is willing to defend themselves, he is systematic in his ensuring their definite death. Michael has a way to break through any barrier, get through any door, and is even willing to hijack and drive cars to get what he wants…contributing to his ranking as a “T” Thinker.
Down to Business
Michael Myers does not waste time when pursuing a victim. He will stalk his victim until the time is right for killing. He kills as quickly as possible and hates to play games. His energy is consistent in pursuing his victims and his kills, methodically fatal…in fact, he rarely leaves any time for suffering. This ‘down to business’ mentality contributes to Michael’s final letter ranking as “J” Judging.
Robotic Nature
Michael enjoys things being decided and is a very structured, task-oriented killer. Regardless of his emotional impulses to kill, he still procures everything necessary to do so, even vehicles when necessary. He also seems to understand the importance of killing in the order that eliminates the greatest threat first. His robotic-like movement throughout the film (meant to describe his choice of actions, rather than his actual on-screen movement) are a huge part of Michael’s “J” Judging rank.
Final Mental Health Notes on Michael Myers
Michael Myers may exhibit many personality traits, but his more dominant characteristics as a quiet, obsessed, down-to-business systematic killer are what award him the INT-J personality type. This type of personality has made him much harder to catch, as he is very determined to see through his goals, always at any cost. Still, regardless of his personality type, Michael has become a horror icon and his on screen killings will be applauded for years to come!

We’ve all seen it…the survivor is taking a break, resting behind a tree. Their warm breaths pouting in the brisk, fall-time air. As the survivor pants, trying to catch their breath, a machete emerges out of their stomach from the other side of the tree!
How many victims has your favorite horror movie slasher claimed? With so many movies out there and so many deaths…how can anyone keep up? Indeed, there are a lot of horror movie slashers out there with some pretty high body counts! Thus, Horror Enthusiast brings you the bonafide, official body count for your favorite horror slashers.
Horror Movie Slasher Body Count
Everyone has their favorite horror movie slasher, however, the favorite does not always have the highest kill count. Having the highest body count does not necessarily mean stronger, faster, or more powerful…only that the killer has claimed the most victims. Here is the official list of the highest horror movie slasher body count!
So, Which horror movie slasher has killed the most victims? Let’s take a look!
Jason Voorhees, 146 kills
From the Friday the 13th Franchise
Killer Highlights: 12 movies (including Freddy vs Jason), Machete Master, Loves to Camp!
The Friday the 13th killer takes spot #1 on the Horror Movie Slasher Body Count! Jason’s body count is one of the most controversial as well, however, as many sources would easily argue Jason’s body count much higher. This is because many people attribute his mother’s killings in the first movie, along with several other accidents and anomalies as Jason kills. The true kill count at 146, is still really high and places him at the top of the list!
Michael Myers, 111 kills
From the Halloween Franchise
Killer Highlights: 9 movies (not present in Halloween III: Season of the Witch), Knifing Lunatic, Hates His Family!
This slasher was made famous in the Halloween franchise, chasing his family and killing anyone in his way. Unfortunately for the small town of Haddonfield, a lot of people got in his way, helping Michael Myers secure the #2 spot on the Horror Movie Slasher Body Count! Michael’s body count is generally uncontested, as his slayings are pretty clean, and almost everyone understands that he is the killer.
Jigsaw (aka John Kramer), 60 kills
From the Saw Franchise
Killer Highlights: 8 movies (kills even after he is dead), Mechanical Genius, Abhors Wasted Potential!
John Kramer is a “break out” killer, in that he lived a mostly normal life until he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. After the diagnosis, he was never the same and decided to leave behind a legacy that would save as many hopeless lives as possible. Only Jigsaw would end up killing more people than he would ever save, making him the #3 most deadly killer on the Horror Movie Slasher Body Count!
Angela Baker, 55 kills
From the Sleepaway Camp Franchise
Killer Highlights: 6 movies, First Gender Change Killer, A “Just” Killer.
Society may not agree with Sleepaway Camp horror murderer Angela Baker’s killings; however, Angela herself believed the campers deserved to be punished based upon their behavior. Although she may be one of the more boring killers, not outfit with any awesome attire, she is most definitely one of the most deadly, ranking in at 4th most deadly slasher on the Horror Movie Slasher Body Count!
Ghostface, 49 kills
From the Scream Franchise
Killer Highlights: 4 movies (and a TV series), Famous Stalker, Multiple Killer Identities.
Ghostface is the only killer change identities throughout the franchise (as the killer is revealed within each movie). Ghostface uses a voice changer, ghost-like mask, black cloak and a scary looking dagger to stalk and haunt his victims until their inevitable death. Some die faster than others, however, many people have been slain, as Ghostface locks in the 5th most deadly slasher on the Horror Movie Slasher Body Count! Very impressive for only 4 feature films!
The Hatchet franchise is a really interesting horror series. The movies are produced in more recent years…but feature an old school-like horror feel similar to the 80s slashers everyone has enjoyed. Victor Crowley, a deformed swamp-dwelling killer, has claimed the lives of 47 misplaced or stranded travelers who have wandered into his swamp. Victor lacks the same infamy as his horror counterparts, however, with time, the legend of his killings will make a claim to fame.
Lubdan is the little ugly, green slasher from the Leprechaun movies who loves playing with his gold. In fact, he loves his gold so much, he has killed for it countless times! Lubdan is often underestimated as his franchise was much less popular than some of the other slashers on the list. Still, he has taken out many more victims than some of the most respectable villains in horror, coming in towards the top of the Horror Movie Slasher Body Count!
Freddy Krueger, 42 kills
From the Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise
Killer Highlights: 9 movies, “Knives for Fingers,” Nightmare-Dream Killer.
Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, has been one of the coldest killers of them all. His reign of terror started in the fabled house on Elm Street. Freddy loves to taunt his victims, often high school children, before harvesting their souls for all of eternity. Most horror fans believe Freddy’s body count is higher, however, Freddy considers the hunt more exciting than the kill itself, dragging his victims deaths out much longer than his slasher peers.
The Child’s Play villain, Chucky, is really serial killer Charles Lee Ray. Charles used a little voodoo to possess the doll in order to avoid the fate of the law. While a Good Guy Doll may be only a few feet tall at best, Chucky’s kill count is more respectable than some pretty evil villains, and he most certainly has earned his fair share!
Pinhead is one of the most powerful of all the horror movie slashers, and he is also ranked as one of the smartest of all horror movie killers. And with 9 movies, surely a horror movie villain would have an opportunity to really rake in the kills! That said, it is shame that Pinhead has only claimed 35 kills in his horror movie career! Especially considering he has traveled so far to get here…
Leatherface, 31 kills
From the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Franchise
Killer Highlights: 9 movies, Wears Masks Made of the Faces of Victims, Chainsaw-Wielding Butcher.
Most of the time, Leatherface is pretty happy minding his own business and keeping to himself. He has a lot of toys and gadgets he likes to play with. Still, his family demands he hunt for dinner and he is most definitely the family’s most qualified butcher. Thus, Leatherface still rakes in a 31 kill career across his 9 Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.
Hannibal Lecter, 23 kills
From the Hannibal Franchise
Killer Highlights: 5 movies, Super Intelligent, Cannibal Serial Killer.
Hannibal Lecter is one of the smartest horror movie killers to rack up an on-screen body count. Hannibal, like Freddy Krueger, prefers to take his time with his victims…dragging each death out much longer than a normal horror slasher. As entertaining as Hannibal’s killings may be, he still clocks in a respectable 23 kills throughout his horror movie career.
The Candy Man, by legend, has to be summoned in order for the slaughter to begin. And although the Candy Man might come in rather low on the list of Horror Movie Slasher Body Counts, he most certainly does not rank lowest in show, as he has a very respectable ‘kill per movie’ ratio!
Jaws, 21 kills
From the Jaws Franchise
Killer Highlights: 4 movies, Water-Dwelling, Great White Swimming Death Machine.
Jaws has never had a problem finding prey in his waters. Jaws has only starred in 4 movies, but still has found a way to chomp through 21 victims…leaving a legend behind that is even bigger than himself!
Killer Highlights: 6 movies, Hotel Owner, Psychopathic Inn Keeper.
The original psycho movie dates back to 1960, making Norman Bates the oldest killer on the list, even with his last movie a ripe couple decades back. Interestingly enough, Norman is the only killer on this list who is a business owner and has thus officially made his business “killing”!
The Creeper, 20 kills
From the Jeepers Creepers Franchise
Killer Highlights: 3 movies, Loves Driving a Rusty Truck, Ancient Creature Killer.
The Creeper is one of the only “ancient” killers to grace the horror genre. Still, he has claimed a high number of victims per movie, and it would be considered bad luck to run into him.
And The Kills Continue On…
While there may be rumors that some of these horror slashers are deceased and never coming back, many of the horror movie villains listed above are still alive and well to this very day. And despite the number of kills some of these horror slashers have claimed, their movies will continue to be made. No one seems to care, as production continues to go on! The body count for some of the most favorite killers, in fact, will likely rise for decades to come.

Famous Actors and Actresses that Started In the Halloween Franchise
The Michael Myers Halloween films date back to 1978 and have featured some pretty radical kill scenes…however, there were some truly talented actors and actresses who got their big break from starring in one of these horror slashers. The franchise was such a success, right from the start, that it spawned success that would be experienced across a number of careers! Check out some of the biggest winners from the horror favorite that is the Halloween franchise.
Actors Made Famous From Starring in the Halloween Movies
Jamie Lee Curtis
As a horror movie icon from her time spent as Laurie Strode in 7 of the 13 Halloween movies (including the in-production 2018 film), she cannot be ignored as a clear number one winner emerging from the franchise. Jamie’s first role of any real notoriety absolutely boils down to the first Halloween movie in 1978. She put on a fantastic performance fleeing her brother back then, and has since graced the horror franchise with her presence in subsequent chases throughout the years. Jamie Lee Curtis’ character might be one of the only people able to truly understand, control, trap or otherwise kill her famed Halloween-killing brother, Michael Myers.
Josh Hartnett
Josh got pretty good traction in the horror genre, and specifically was very positively received in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later. Playing John, the son of Laurie Strode, he is one of the prime targets when Michael Myers returns to wreak havoc! Josh and Jamie have a seemingly instinctual dynamic between them that makes their mother-son relationship in the movie feel extremely natural and real. Honestly, Josh does so well that it is pretty unbelievable that Halloween was his first feature film.
Jodi Lyn O’Keefe
Like Josh Hartnett, Jodi Lyn O’Keefe’s first hollywood movie credit rests well with Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). Jodi Lyn plays Sarah, who suffers one of the most terrifying deaths of all of the Halloween movies, including the use of a dumbwaiter! Sarah’s character may not have survived the entire flick, but her death was not in vain…for Jodi Lyn’s performance would launch the successful career she enjoys today.
Tony Moran
The first actor to play Michael Myers in the Halloween original (1978), was Tony Moran. Although he would receive a small amount of work throughout the following few decades, it seems the last few years have been much better to Tony. Perhaps he is finally getting the recognition he deserves for his stellar performance as one of the first most horrific slashers, who changed the horror genre forever!
Nancy Stephens
Crazy Dr Loomis’ nurse, Marion can be found in 3 of the Halloween films. Before the 1978 Halloween hit, Nancy would only achieve success in TV…making Halloween her break out movie role! She reprises her role in Halloween II (1981) and again in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). Unfortunately, Marion is killed off rather early in the beginning of the 1998 film, along with the explained death of Dr Loomis. Still, Nancy died with dignity and put on a heck of a show!
LL Cool J
It is true that LL Cool J had a small handful of roles before Halloween H20…however, many attribute his break out “on-screen” role to Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). LL Cool J played a likable protagonist (Ronny), an inspiring erotic novelist working as a very convincing security guard. He almost gets murdered by Michael and narrowly escapes an almost fatal accident to end up surviving! After the experience, Ronny decides to write a romantic thriller.
Larisa Miller
Larisa also received her first feature film role in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), like many others. She played Claudia, who barely survives an encounter with Michael Myers while taking her daughter to the bathroom in the beginning of the movie. She would go on to have a small bit of success in TV, however, must have chosen to retire after 2007…despite a career seemingly on the uprise from her part in the movie.
Other Hollywood Icons and Legends Who Got Their Start in Halloween
John Carpenter
John Carpenter is an extremely talented individual, contributing a number of credits to so many titles throughout his career. He even contributed to the Halloween soundtrack, writing the main theme song to Halloween that still makes the audience tremble today. It is more than arguable that Halloween could have been Carpenter’s true break out role as a director…as it is much more widely known than his only real prior hit, Assault on Precinct 13. And Carpenter, without a doubt, was the spine of the original Halloween movie.
Rick Rosenthal
Another famous director responsible for a lot of hits that are enjoyed today, Rick Rosenthal, got his big feature film break directing a Halloween film. Rosenthal was responsible for Halloween II, which is amazing considering the success of the first film and Rosenthal only having a single episode of TV as experience in directing. Regardless, he would produce an incredible scare that has been admired for years to come that is the first sequel in the hit horror franchise.
Final Notes About the Halloween Franchise
It would not be right to address famous actors and actresses getting a big break from the Halloween movies without mentioning the actor who famously played Dr Loomis. Donald Pleasence is a huge part of the story line and suspenseful drama throughout the movies. While Donald was widely known and quite famous before assuming the role of the demented killer’s mental doctor…there is no questioning his notoriety and glory living on larger and more vibrant than ever through the Halloween films.
There is absolutely no doubt that the horror franchise, especially the slasher sub-genre, would ever be the same without the influence from the Halloween franchise horror films. Each person played their part (pun intended), creating the legend the still haunts the screen on the occasional Halloween. And while Michael Myers may be immortal through his on-screen terror, he could not have done it alone. Without the collaborated effort of all the crew and cast involved in the making of the Halloween movies, these movies simply would not be the polished horror we know them as today!

How to Escape and Survive a Real Life Michael Myers
Michael Myers is one of the scariest figures in the horror slasher genre…and has claimed one of the highest horror movie killer body counts of them all! He is ominous, seemingly immortal and possesses terrifying presence! What if Michael Myers were chasing you throughout his childhood home? What if you found yourself at a hospital late at night alongside Laurie Strode? What if you found yourself in Haddonfield on Halloween?
Would You Survive Michael Myers In Real Life?
Horror Enthusiast has created the Michael Myers Survival Points system in order to track your progress during a real life Michael Myers escape. Making favorable decisions earns you positive points, while making mistakes may cost you your points (or much worse!).
You start out with Zero (0) points, unless your last name is “Myers” or “Strode,” in which case you start out with negative five (-5) points!
After you complete the quiz and tally up your score, you will be able to determine whether you would be likely to survive a real life Michael Myers chase or be the next resident of the Haddonfield cemetery!
Weapon to Use Against Michael Myers
Most survivors are not strong enough by themselves, thus a weapon in a horror movie is an invaluable asset. Michael Myers almost always has a large kitchen knife which can be seen gleaming in the background as he stalks his a victim. Having a weapon has sometimes helped a Michael Myers survivor find their way to safety. You may choose one (1) weapon to use against Michael Myers to aid your survival!
If you would attempt to inject Michael with a powerful sedative that would knock him out instantly, add 8 points to your score.
If you would choose to use a knife or piece of broken glass against Michael, add 10 points to your score.
If you would attempt to hit Michael with a car or other vehicle, add 12 points to your score.
If you would attempt to knock Michael out with a piece of furniture or other heavy object, add 15 points to your score.
If you would attempt to shoot Michael with a pistol or a shotgun, add 8 points to your score.
If you would attempt to wrestle Michael’s knife out of his hands to use against him, add 6 point to your score.
If you choose to avoid an encounter, do not modify your score.
Hiding Place When Running From Michael Myers
It is impossible for nearly all survivors to run indefinitely…although the slashers seem to have endless streams of energy. Hiding is therefore essential to a good survival plan, and where you hide against Michael Myers matters. Michael is an expert at hide and go seek, so choose carefully! You may choose one (1) hiding place to help you survive a real life Michael Myers chase!
If you would choose to hide in an inoperable vehicle, add 9 points to your score.
If you would choose to hide in a barn, add 12 points to your score.
If you would choose to hide under a desk or table, add 15 points to your score.
If you would choose to hide in a dumbwaiter, add 5 points to your score.
If you would choose to hide in a closet, add 9 points to your score.
If you would never choose to hide, do not modify your score.
Escape Routes to Escape Michael Myers
Although Michael’s total body count is rather high, some survivors still slip through to the end and go on to live for a sequel! Most of the victims have tried to escape, but their escape route turns out to be a poor choice against “The Shape.” Those who get away typically have to run for a while and require a collaboration of creative escape routes to survive. You may choose two (2) escape routes in order to create your preferred combination for survival!
If you would attempt to get into a car, knowing the keys are inside, and drive away from Michael, add 10 points to your score.
If you would choose to call 911 and wait it out in hiding within a building (hospital, school, etc), add 7 points to your score.
If you would choose to jump from a two story window, without knowing what was below, add 10 points to your score.
If you would attempt to seriously incapacitate or kill Michael Myers in order to escape, add 15 points to your score.
If you would choose to trap Michel Myers in any way (with a car, with a heavy object, with a noose trap, etc), add 15 points to your score.
Ways to Die Against Michael Myers
There are a lot of mistakes to be made when a horror movie slasher is chasing you. Michael Myers is a lot less tolerant of mistakes and will typically seize these opportunities to slay his victims. Unfortunately, these common mistakes will diminish the chance of survival!
Assuming He Is Dead
Many characters make the mistake of assuming Michael Myers is dead at one point or another. This is a recurring theme, and one that winds up being fatal for many characters. Whether it is hell reincarnated in human form, simple supernatural powers, Michael Myers does not seem to die.
If you would approach Michael Myers while he lay still in front of you, seemingly dead, with any reason other than to do him immediate harm, subtract 25 points from your score!
Celebrating Halloween
Almost all of Michael’s victims celebrated to some extent. Some victims even went trick or treating! Michael only seems to be interested in killing on Samhain (Halloween day itself), and thus, those out and about celebrating Halloween are at greater risk!
If you are a Halloween lover, subtract 25 points from your score!
Having Intercourse
Like many other horror slashers of his generation, Michael loves to kill those who are in a …compromising position! People who become intimate in the Halloween movies are at an increased risk for becoming part of Michael’s never ending body count.
If you would find yourself in an intimate, ‘compromising position’ on Halloween day, subtract 20 points from your score!
Protecting a Potential Victim
There are a lot of kills that did not have to happen! Michael Myers oftentimes has to tear through a few unnecessary deaths in order to reach his true intended victim. Because Michael is seeking out his family, those who stand in the way to protect or defend the targets, usually die themselves.
If you feel you would stand up for one of Michael’s families, a Strode or a Myers, subtract 15 points from your score!
Curse of the Working Man
Michael Myers is a very mobile slasher, and finds his way around in order to reach his targets. Unfortunately, this means killing a lot of innocent people along the way who are key in him working his way to his victims. He will kill doctors, nurses, paramedics, police, attendants, mechanics, and more.
If you have a job that involves helping others in any way (in person), you might come into contact with Michael Myers by sheer chance (bad luck), so subtract 10 points from your score!
Did You Survive Michael Myers?
Tallying up your Michael Myers Survival Points will indicate your likelihood of surviving a real life encounter with Michael Myers.
+10 points…………… HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF SURVIVAL
4 to 9 points………… POSSIBLE CHANCE OF SURVIVAL
0 to 3 points………… SLIM CHANCE OF SURVIVAL
-9 to -1 points……… PROBABLY DEAD ON ARRIVAL
-19 to -10 points……DEFINITE DEATH
Below -20 points…. DIED BEFORE EVEN SEEING HIM
Remember, Michael has killed a lot of people and not all of them have realized what was happening until it was too late. Many people mistake him for a peer, and many people believe he can be tamed. Michael’s kill count continues to go up, although nearly every kill has been spectacular.
