Abstract :
This study aims to analyze the psychopathic character of Michael Myers. In the Halloween movie
script, the character has a psychopathic personality which is reflected through his behavior. I use
intrinsic and extrinsic approaches to analyze this movie script. Through an intrinsic approach, I use
characterization through showing method, plot, setting and theme. In my extrinsic approach, I use
the concept of psychopathic personality disorder. This research is conducted with a qualitative
method because this study draws conclusions based on the data that has been obtained. The data
object of this study is the character Michael Myers who is the main character in David Gordon
Green's Halloween movie script. The theme in this movie script is developed through an intrinsic
and extrinsic approach. All these elements are elaborated to reinforce the theme of this movie script.
I found that the psychopathic characteristics possessed by Michael Myers' character in this movie
script are lack of empathy, lack of remorse, manipulative and anti-social behavior. Michael Myers
is a malevolent psychopath because he has the characteristics of this type of psychopath, namely
stalkers, murders, serial killers and sadists.
