All that is well and true . . . but I just watched the original Halloween this weekend that I got from Amazon Prime in UHD 4K disc and it's even more implausible than I thought:
1. He killed his teenage sister at SIX years old not 10 years old
2. He was over 150 miles away from Haddonfield, IL (I know the town doesn't really exist but still)
3. It was a dark stormy night when he escaped and stole the state car Dr. Loomis and the nurse were driving to the mental hospital
So with all that being stated
@darkcurry . . . how can we accept the 21 year old Michael Myers driving like three hours on a dark, stormy night with limited visibility all the damn way to Haddonfield where he hasn't been since he was six on Halloween in 1963??
In a strange car which could be stick shift or automatic as they were rather prevalent in the decade of the '70s?
I enjoyed the 4K UHD new release in the various home theatre soundtracks it possesses like DTS Master Audio 5.1 & Dolby Atmos . . . but I still prefer a Michael Myers who even as a very young teenager in the Rob Zombie adaptation . . . does not know how to drive successfully without either getting lost enroute to Hadfonfield . . . or just losing control of the strange car and crashing it along the way. My man lol was driving all over town diligently . . . all damn day . . . observing traffic rules & regulation and everything while stalking Laurie Strode lol
I just didn't remember him doing all that until I rewatched it the other day . . . he was faithfully adhering to right-of-way courtesy, using turn signals and stopping for funeral processions lol . . . afternoon elementary school pick ups lol . . . John Carpenter had his Michael Myers doing everything a diligent responsible motorist should do when operating a motor vehicle in a residential area lol.
