A scarily proficient parody of horror movie icon Michael Myers has got people screaming on social media for birthday dissimilar reasons.

With Halloween Kills slashing its way through the competition at the box office and Oct 31 fast approaching, a TikToker by the proper name of Gavinblake23 has decided to take the character in an inspired new direction.

The effect is a 67-second video titled "An within interview with Michael Myers" that has already been viewed 2.6 one thousand thousand times on TikTok and a farther 2.nine million times on Twitter. The clip can be viewed here.

Ostensibly offering a behind-the-scenes look at the life of the fictional series killer, the clip introduces viewers to "Michael Audrey Myers" a "globally famous killer" who proclaims himself every bit "one of the greatest ever."

As much a spoof on the kind of hype videos put out past celebrities and elite athletes as it is the Halloween movie icon, the video sees Myers take fans through his entirely fictional daily routine.

"Every morning I wake upward, two raw eggs, in the gym 2-three hours, sauna, cardio, training, weight lifting, y'all know I do it all," he explains alongside clips of someone, dressed as the character, doing weights, relaxing in a sauna and running manically on a treadmill.

"I cutting off all distractions," he tells the camera, pointing to his mobile and an unread spoof message from a bizarrely bikini-clad Annabelle, the haunted doll from The Conjuring cinematic universe, which reads "Come to Miami."

"Left her unread," Myers says. "I ain't coming to Miami, I'thou working."

The video goes on to address a familiar trope from the Halloween movies.

"Everybody e'er asks me 'how do you get in that location? When they run into you they are running across the edifice, they are running downwards the stairs, they are running across the parking garage, they are in their auto, they recall they're safe, you're already in that location. How practice you do that?"

On the video the query is accompanied past footage of a potential victim running at full pace from Myers to the safety of their car only for Myers to pop upward in the backseat.

A hilariously exaggerated take on what is a mutual complaint amongst fans of the franchise, for this version of Myers the answer to the question of how he does it is simple.

"Piece of work ethic," he says. "Nobody works like me. Nobody."

Myers goes on to take aim at another horror movie icon, Pennywise the Clown from the big-screen accommodation of Stephen King's It, commenting: "Pennywise talking about 'oh I'm big time.' You live in a sewer. My condo is $4,800 a month, you are non moving like me."

He concludes past declaring himself among the four greatest: "Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Michael Phelps, Michael Myers" earlier asking that they wrap things up every bit he had "gotta go murder some motherf***ers."

A pitch-perfect lampoon of Halloween and modernistic media every bit a whole, the clip conspicuously struck a chord with fans online, who flocked to praise the video as one of the funniest of recent times.

Itsryanbetz.pt3 ranked information technology amidst the "summit v" best videos they have seen on TikTok while Foodies declared: "this video will go down in history." Felipe-Cano Silva jokingly branded it the "best interview of the twelvemonth" while Terrence Mccain said they had "gotta make a part two."

One37pm wrote: "Bro this is fire," with Taking the Poin+t one of several to depict the prune as "i of the greatest TikToks I accept ever seen." Yahanna Dee agreed: "This gotta exist the best TikTok I've ever watched."

"Best video on TikTok hands downwards," added ohhzzy. Inseansmind, meanwhile, suggested: "This needs to exist a documentary on Netflix."

Newsweek has contacted Gavinblake23 for comment.

While the video is designed more than for laughs than scares, Newsweek has helpfully compiled a list of the best horror films to watch this Oct 31.
