Michael Myers is a fictional character from the "Halloween" film series. He is a masked serial killer who first appeared in the 1978 movie "Halloween." The character is not based on a real story; he was created by filmmaker John Carpenter and has since become a well-known figure in the horror genre.

Is 'The Conjuring' based on a true story? That depends on whether you believe in ghosts. But the movie is based on the Perron family, who moved into the house in 1971, and said they began experiencing paranormal phenomena.
