Michael Myers, the fictional character in the new film Halloween Kills movie, has been accused of being ‘homophobic’ by viewers.
In the latest instalment of the franchise, the serial killer, played by James Jude Courtney, breaks into his childhood home where a gay couple lives and murders them, which hasn’t sat right with viewers.
Taking to Twitter to complain, one viewer wrote: “Saw that new Halloween movie, didn’t expect Michael Myers to be so homophobic.”

Another added: “They really had to kill the gay couple[?] Michael Myers is homophobic as f***.”
While a third commented: “I think the way he killed the gay guys was so homophobic and I think we should all not watch Halloween Kills.”
Others defended the movie, saying the character was not homophobic and would kill anyone in his path.
One person said: “I need to get this off my chest. Hey #LGBTQ community, MICHAEL MYERS IS NOT HOMOPHOBIC.

“Gay people moved into HIS home, and if you’ve seen the damn movies, NOBODY IN HIS HOME MAKES IT OUT ALIVE.”
Another added: “In Halloween Kills alone Michael Myers kills: black couple, white couple, interracial couple, 2 children, 11 firefighters, at least 4 senior citizens, oh and HALF OF F***ING HADDONFIELD, but Michael Myers is homophobic for killing a gay couple. This world is f***ed.”
Someone else said: “So people are saying that Halloween Kills is Homophobic because *SPOILERS* Michael Myers kills a gay couple. If you think this, you’re a f***ing idiot. Michael Myers has no concept of Racism, sexism or any of that. He just kills whoever is in his path.”
Halloween Kills was released on October 15, three years after the last film in the series.
