This Shape Looks Different

The Boogeyman is back as we get our first teaser poster for the insanely-anticipated Halloween sequel. This poster is simplicity at its best, but I personally think this teaser is trying to tell us something. While I am aware I am about to break down and over-analyze a mask, I can’t help but think I am on to something. First, here's the poster.

Tragic and sympathetic: two words one would not typically attach to a character like Michael Myers, but this poster is telling a story. The lighting and positioning of the mask truly convey the look of someone who is going through a personal tragedy. Examining the eye holes even closer does in fact reveal Michael’s eyes, which is not something we typically see. Are perhaps subtle clues to a different avenue never quite traveled for this storied and iconic slasher? There is something deep going on in this poster and the more I look at it, the more I see it.

I want to believe that the Michael we get in this movie is unlike any Michael we have gotten to date, which is why I want to believe that these are hints to something different. We are 6 months away from the new Halloween and I can’t wait until the marketing for this film starts to ramp up.

Do you see a different Michael in this poster or am I just losing my mind? Sound off below.
