There are horror fans.
There are Halloween fans.
And then there is Jimmy Champane, a man who appears to have looked at the entire horror genre, pointed directly at Michael Myers and said:
“Yeah. That guy. I’m going with that guy.”
If you spend enough time wandering around Horror YouTube, you're going to encounter plenty of people who love John Carpenter's Halloween. But Jimmy Champane doesn't merely love the franchise.
Jimmy Champane has seemingly achieved a level of Halloween fandom where Michael Myers isn't just his favorite horror character anymore.
He's basically family.
At this point, if Michael Myers called Jimmy and asked him to help move a couch, there's a very real possibility Jimmy would say, “Sure. Which house?”
And that's precisely what makes the Jimmy Champane YouTube channel so much fun.
Welcome to Haddonfield, Population: Jimmy
Jimmy has built a reputation as one of YouTube's most recognizable Halloween fanboys, covering the franchise with the kind of enthusiasm normally reserved for people discovering that they have just won the lottery.
Except Jimmy's lottery ticket is a copy of Halloween 1978.
And Halloween II.
And Halloween 4.
And Halloween Kills.
And probably a VHS tape somebody found in a basement that contains three seconds of footage of a guy who might be Michael Myers.
His channel has covered Halloween news, retrospectives, reviews, theories, Easter eggs, fan films and just about anything else that can be connected to the Shape. Other horror YouTubers might occasionally make a Halloween video.
Jimmy appears to wake up and ask:
“What did Michael do today?”
