Quoted from Venom77:Hummm not sure I agree on the backstory I would say its 50/50 in most movies. Agree but neither the Original or RZ version play by really by the believable rules here so have to take that with a grain of salt. The original Myers is a real Ninja if so.
Disagree on people who kill are weak and vulnerable.. Some people find strength in compassion.. outward feelings.. other people find strength in solidarity and the ability to separate\suppress their weakness hence inward feelings. No human mind is the same in all honesty we truly are all wired different. It truly is a fascinating subject when you throw in variables as guilt, morals, life experiences and or just no thought process on one particular feeling, and nature bakes a cake...
However agree no human takes 6 rounds to the chest and gets up and disappears. Unless they under influence of PCP lol.. So in Horror some imagination is required.
John Carpenter and Debra Hill have always stated that Michael Myers was a "Force of nature". What made him scary was not knowing the entire back story. Carpenter has always hated the RZ remakes and has even said as much because Tyler Mane was too big of a guy to play him at 6'-8" The RZ remakes are decent on their own but should have never taken up such a holy grail of horror. I still enjoy them but in a different light.
My favorite is the original 1 & 2 with the recent remake of 2018. Taking the nostalgic route with doing the original 1978 version is the smart move.
