Why are people attracted to Myers?

Well, considering he has the newer looking mask of the original film series, as opposed to the aged mask of the 2018 soft-reboot film, he should be somewhere between 21 to 41 years old.

Michael was six when he committed the murders, and escaped from Smith's Grove and returned to Haddonfield fifteen years later. Then, there were the H20 and Resurrection films, which continued him and Laurie 20 years later.

I'd say the Entity took him and Laurie from the Halloween H20 and Halloween Resurrection era, when she was 37 and he was 41.

Neither of them are from the 2018 film soft-reboot era, where Laurie was 57 and Michael 61. Even Laurie's in-game model doesn't match that. But she does fit the H20 era.

All that aside, he was licensed and added to the game in October 2016. The soft-reboot was a 2018 film. The Laurie and Michael in DbD have zero relation to the 2018 film reality. The story they're connected to ended with Halloween: Resurrection. So, he isn't that old.

(Note: There were more planned sequels for the Halloween H20 era, but Resurrection did so poorly that the sequels were cancelled and the H20 era abandoned, and the license was eventually granted to Rob Zombie, instead).

@Kilmeran No problem, I'm actually more of a killer main myself, but I love the Halloween franchise, especially that first movie.

I agree though, Laurie definitely looks older in DBD, but I think that's more because they didn't have Jamie Lee Curtis's permission to use her likeness, so they had to change the model up a bit.

@ShirtlessDwight What? Why are speculating about the size of Michael's dick?

As for the OP, I don't think people are actually attracted to him (at least not many of them, people are weird after all). I imagine it's more just him being a beloved horror icon.

Strong silent type with heavy breathing. What is not to be attracted to?

The terror radius of his makes him a jump scare champeeeeeeen in this game. Specially when u doing your first gen and swivelling your camera to keep an eye out and you see him just standing so damn quietly there, stalking you.. No heartbeat warning period from the good ones.. A head floating in the fog and then up comes the kitchen knife and you like,"awwwww sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Run Forrest, RUN!"

we'll have to excuse DBD for that one, their graphics weren't too great from the get-go, im sure they would've been able to make Laurie look far better if it was 2019 and not 2016

I imagine the attraction to Myers is based on a number of factors.

First off, Myers is one of the few killers that by default doesn't have any major deformities. He's just a very tall silent muscular guy.

Secondly we have to remember that this is a video game. Video games are stereotyped as appealing to outcasts so it's reasonable to assume that a number of people who play DBD are either single or lonely.

Finally as @Coriander stated above. Myer's power is paying attention to you. Not directly stabbing or charging, but looking at you, with hungry, wanting eyes.

So combine a bunch of potentially lonely people with a tall silent muscular man who is interested in you and it becomes very easy to understand why some people lust after him so much.

Might as well ask why so many people send love letters and fan mail to real life serial killers... thirsty people be crazy.
