Versus

In 2003, an action/horror film was released called Freddy vs. Jason. It pit the two horror icons, Jason Vorhees and Freddy Kruger, against each other. Mono a mono. So this got me wondering, who would win if I put together some of my favorite movie characters and othe famous people, fictitous and real alike? Let's find out, shall we?

MICHAEL MYERS vs. LEATHERFACE

Michael Myers from the
 Halloween franchise
 Michael Myers was first introduced to us in the 1978 slasher film Halloween. Four years earlier, in 1974, Leatherface was introduced in the horror movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Michael Myers is an uncaring psychopath who kills with ease, usually to get to his main victim. His first murder was committed on Halloween night in 1963, when he murdered his older sister Judith. He was six years old. Myers is practically indestructable, as he has been shot dozens of times, burned, and stabbed, yet still remaining alive. Myers is also cunning. He can hide in the shadows or in plain sight until the right moment, then kill his victim.

Leatherface is a mentally challenged man who lives with his cannibalistic family. Leatherface brutally kills his victims with a chainsaw. Unlike Myers, Leatherface usually remains in one place, in the woods in Texas. However, he is faster moving and more brutal then Myers, and doesn't wait to kill. Leatherface was only killed once (in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2). Usually one victim is lucky enough to escape from him.

Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw
Massacre franchise

But the big question is, who would win? Well, Myers may be psychologically unstable and slow moving, but he's crafty. Leatherface is essentially just a moron with a chainsaw. Myers can hide himself and wait for the right moment to strike. Leatherface would attack relentlessly and restlessly. Plus, there's the big detail of Myers being practically unstopable. I'm pretty sure that's a good quality to have against a chainsaw wielding lunatic.

WINNER: MICHAEL MYERS
