Michael Myers, the iconic Halloween series villain, is receiving flak not for being the psychopathic killer the world knows him as, but instead for being perceived as homophobic. The scene which has sparked criticism features Myers breaking into his childhood home. Spoiler alert: He found that a gay couple now lives there, and in usual Halloween fashion, murders them, according to Screen Geek.
Twitter users were quick to call out the fictional killer for being homophobic, though some may have been making a mockery of the backlash.
