michael ( tyler mane )
a new version of michael myers appears in rob zombie's "halloween" (2007), a reboot of the franchise. the film follows the basic premise of the original film, with an increased focus on michael's childhood: a ten-year-old michael (daeg faerch) is shown killing animals and suffering verbal abuse from judith (hanna r. hall) and his mother's boyfriend ronnie (william forsythe), both of whom he later murders. during his time in smith's grove, michael takes up the hobby of creating papier-mâché masks and receives unsuccessful therapy from dr. sam loomis (malcolm mcdowell). as an adult, michael (tyler mane) returns to haddonfield to reunite with his younger sister laurie (scout taylor-compton), the only person he has ever loved. however, laurie has no memory of michael and is terrified of him, and shoots him in the head in self-defense. zombie's story is continued in the sequel, "halloween ii" (2009), which picks up right where the remake leaves off and then jumps ahead one year. here, michael (mane) is presumed dead, but resurfaces after a vision of his deceased mother deborah (sheri moon zombie) informs him that he must track laurie (taylor-compton) down so that they can "come home". in the film, michael and laurie have a mental link, with the two sharing visions of their mother. during the film's climax, laurie kills michael by stabbing him repeatedly in the chest and face with his own knife, with the final scene suggesting that she has taken on her brother's psychosis as she dons his mask.
