It’s August which means the countdown to Halloween has already begun. Pretty soon the leaves will change colors and our endless horror movie marathons will begin. No horror marathon would be complete withoutJohn Carpenter’sHalloween. The classic 1978 slasher is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. To help mark the occasion various companies have announced newaction figures, board games, andapparel linesbased on the iconic franchise. NowLoungeflyhas unveiled their chilling newHalloweencollection that will leave anyMichael Myersfan bloodthirsty.
Exclusively revealed byDread Central, the first item in this sharp collection is Loungefly’s Compass International Michael MyersHalloweenCosplay Mini Backpack. The front of the leather backpack sees “The Shape” in all their sinister glory. The way the bag blends in with Michael’s classic blue overalls as their expressionless white mask contrasts off it will leave a very eerie impression on you. It’s stunning to say the least and the killer’s face even glows-in-the-dark. There’s so much amazing detail featured throughout the bag like the metal zipper being in the shape of a knife, Michael’s house awaiting horror fans on the back with the film’s now infamously spine tingling tagline “The Night He Came Home”, and the interior is filled to the brim with knives, jack-o-lanterns, and Michael’s mask. Just like with Michael’s mask on the front, Michael’s house can also glow-in-the-dark. If you look closely at the murder house there’s a small little jack-o-lantern on Michael’s front porch that is reminiscent ofCarpenter’s legendary opening first-person sequence. The backpack is priced at $80.
The last part of this collection is Loungefly’sHalloweenMichael Myers Mask Cosplay Zip-Around Wallet. Just like the backpack, the piece made of leather features Michael’s ghastly portrait on the front that glows-in-the-dark. Also, on the back the same image of Michael’s house with the tagline “The Night He Came Home” andHalloween logoabove it can be seen. Just like most wallets of this type there’s an ID holder, but with the added bonus of theBoogeyman’s signature knife cut out of the plastic cover. In addition to that, there’s once again knives, jack-o-lanterns, and Michael’s mask lining the interior. This wallet will be $40.
“The Night He Came Home”
For the last 45 years,Halloweenand Michael Myers have been instilling fear in the minds of small towns around the world.

It’s a piece of music you just hear every time you see an image of this monster in action or a newHalloweenthemed product. That includes this new collection. Loungefly has always done an amazing job with their highly detailed bags and wallets, but they’ve out done themselves with this Boogeyman sized treat. Now, you can transport all your favoriteHalloweenfilmsin style to a friend’s house or make every person at your next horror convention extremely jealous. It’s a collection that would even make Michael’s emotionless face turn into a scary fun smile.
