Michael Myers is the original horror movie stalker. We’re not saying it as a matter of fact, but because people tend to forget. All those other scary protagonists—antagonists?; the films are usually named after the creature and not the victims, so we’re not sure what to call them—characters, whatever are stealing is style slash for slash and scream for scream. In honor of the OG life takeaway-er, we have some Halloween Decor to pay tribute to the spooky slasher.
Nothing against those other scary movie characters; we simply want to give Michael Myers and, by extension, our 15-foot Michael Myers Halloween Inflatable Decoration the love they deserve. If you agree or have an affinity for movie decorations, check out this Halloween decor.
