and the blackest dies the devil sign his
childhood psychiatrist dr. Loomis once
said that Myers has the devil’s eyes
though it’s unlikely that you’ll ever
get close enough to see them as a result
of the modified William Shatner mask he
wears sleek in his movements Michael is
able to blend into the shadows and
emerge unexpectedly and when he’s
knocked down he’s always able to get
