Washington [US]October 20 (ANI): It’s Halloween season and even the most notorious horror villains are getting involved.
Michael Myers, the legendary Halloween killer who has been terrifying audiences since 1978, made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL) tonight – with a twist, according to Deadline.
In a funny skit, actor Jaxson (played by Mikey Day) wears the mask of Michael Myers in a fictional sequel titled Halloween Rises.

The scene takes place as the cast and crew prepare for a classic horror moment. Chloe Fineman and Ashley Padilla play the roles of Haley and Sasha, who are sitting on a couch at home watching a scary movie when Michael Myers sneaks in through the sliding door behind them.
This time, however, Jaxson’s Michael Myers doesn’t do a typical horror move, but instead puts his hands on his hips and starts dancing to the film’s theme song. The unusual appearance quickly leads to the director (Andrew Dismukes) stopping filming.
The director steps in and says, “Okay, so Jaxson, your movements are just a little too theatrical.”
Jaxson explains, “Oh, I’m sorry. So I worked on it with the stunt movement coordinator Beau (Michael Keaton).”
The director and Beau discuss how to adapt Jaxson’s performance, but when he tries again, his version of Michael Myers still doesn’t quite fit the horror tone. While the director is unconvinced, Beau is impressed by Jaxson’s killer Broadway-style moves.
The skit ended with a dramatic but humorous version of the killing scene. (ANI)
