There is certainly an other-worldy nature to him, he’s almost capable of breaking the 4th wall, like being able to disappear when the camera cuts away, his breath being able to be heard anywhere. He’s paranoia incarnate, but you come face to face with him, yeah it’s just a dude in a mask. You can run, but he can keep up by just walking.
Loomis is adamant about what Michael is, but that’s only his opinion, it’s more like prolonged exposure to Michael required him to come up with an explanation that made some kind of sense to him.
Yeah, in my opinion, Michael is something more than just a normal human. Not sure “supernatural” is the word…maybe it is but in H1 Loomis called Michael an “it”.
Hopefully JC will keep Michael’s “force” status alive and well.
i mean i just dont want him to get shot or stabbed and die. and i sure as hell dont ant him to yell in pain like he did in the garbage remarks. michael was always realistic so idk what danny is talking about. thats what made him more scary then anything else out there in horror movies.
Not bad news at all, Myers was always human. Look at H1 it showed him as a child and growing up. He was inflicted with a curse or demonic power that made him unstoppable, but still human
Sorry but no, In the original Halloween, the curse was not part of cannon for a long, long time. John carpenter HIMSELF has said in interviews refers to Michael as a force of nature/larger than life being. I find it so weird how people can say Michael is a normal human, it makes me wonder if those people have even seen the original halloween, did you not see how manny times they refer to Michael as something other than human/say he isn’t human. Or how he acts as a shadow, being able to appear behind bush’s and then varnish, being able to appear behind your cloth lines and in the next shot it was as if he were never there, how obvious can it be the movie is trying to tell you Michael is an unknown entity, he’s the boogey man.
Like I said, the curse thing was not even tiny bit apart of the original 2 halloween movies, in the original, Michael is just the boogey man no argument.
Lol, he bleeds doesn’t he? He is human! And for appearing and then not there?? Well the camera shows a screen shot of him then the next shot gone, not hard to move from the corner of a house then step back 5 inches and be gone. He was in human form, driven by a force but still human lol. Remember he got shot at the end?? Yeah he still bled, if that’s not human I don’t know what is. And as far as seeing H1, I was around when shown in theatres lol
so because you were around when it was in theaters means? Michael is a man no doubt about it, im not calling him a mutant alien creature, oh so i guess pinhead and every horror character that bleeds is human. Michael is a man, the boogeyman. not hard to step back 5 inches? for the cloth line shot he is in a wide open space behind the sheets it cuts to laurie for 1 second and cuts back and hes gone! and for the bush scene it would be pretty hard to disappear around the bush in the matter of 10 seconds when annie goes to check, i guess he must have sprinted? lol. lets also note the fact he picks a man up by the neck with one arm and stabs through his body into the wall, gets stabbed in the neck and eye and gets up and keeps coming. im glad you brought up him getting shot, thats even the most valid point the fact he gets shot 6 times with a revolver and disappears. you are literally arguing with john carpenter on what Michael is.
Well you were stating that you were starting to wonder if some people had even seen it, so thought I would enlighten you kiddo. And your not getting my point, he is human, but a driving element of evil. He still bleeds as a human, but his body is driven by a force larger than him. Not trying to argue, but you seem to think your point is the gospel of myers and everyone else’s is irrelevant. I’m surprised you’ve seen the original at 20, maybe your thinking of RZ H1
I’m not seeing the “bad news” honestly i think most people put Jason and Michael in the same boat when they actually are very different…Jason has actually changed from human to zombie/immortal almost Michael was never shown to be anything other than a mentally unstable human being so with that said while being shot at and numerous attempts to take his life he’s not feeling it like a stable person would and that’s probably a connection on how he doesn’t die but who really knows but that’s what makes him Michael…ok crazy fan rant over lol
not sure how old you are makes a difference if you’ve seen the move or not. I’m not trying to argue either with you dude I mean no disrespect towards you. Also I’m using facts and statement from interviews I’ve seen with john, I’m not just saying my point of view is law of the universe, lets just settle on he’s an evil incarnation in human form, because that is exactly what he is, I get where you are coming from but ‘‘human’’ to me is more than being a certain physical anatomy. Are you honestly surprised I’ve seen it or is that just a subtle insult? I know manny young kids who have seen the original Halloween and love it, anyways like I said no disrespect towards you man.
He’s never done horror before, but I wouldn’t discount him over that. Rob Zombie had done exclusively horror before his Halloween remake, but that didn’t help him.
he’s a very good screenwriter. Not known for horror but he’s a huge horror fan, and David Gordon green is a great director, They collaborate together a lot.
Michael Myers is/was without a doubt a mortal human being. Throughout the whole film of Halloween 1978, Michael is a psychopath and just that. The end where he is getting stabbed in the neck and gut, are realistically things one could survive. Not saying you could just carry on without being in pain like Michael did (or maybe he was in pain but hes just so mentally fucked that hes also become disconnected from pain as hes just so emotionless). At the end when he gets shot and then disappears, was simply for the film. Like a cliff hanger. Hes a man but he just walked off after getting shot right after dr.loomis said that he was in fact the boogeyman. So was he the boogeyman? Was he a man? Those are just questions ment to be asked by the audience and never to be answered. That was John Carpenters idea and thats exactly what the film managed to do. But ultimately, Michael is just a man. The fact he survived 6 shots was simply for the end of the film. To scare you. Its simple and pure genius at the same time.
If however, you include the Halloween films from 4-8 then yes Michael is just immortal pretty much. But as for what Michael Myers originally was and what John Carpenter created him as, he is just like you and me but completely gone, mentally. He is disconnected from reality, pain, fear and sanity which I suppose makes him almost supernatural in a way because if you were to be disconnected from all the things you are pretty much a dead person. Hes like a dead person walking the streets among us, and dead those will be who are unfortunate to cross his path.
So I guess John Carpenter was wrong when he also said and has said multiple times that he is a man. Hes a man with a supernatural FLAVOUR. Like a force of nature. Not LITERALLY supernatural…
Well youre not too bright are you… Hes ultimately, ULTIMATELY a man (do I need to explain to you what that means?) but the end makes you question whether he is or not for the EFFECT of the film. You think being sarcastic makes you sound smart but you know exactly what I mean when I say its for the film. Stop being a jackass. Ive explained it to you now and if you still dont get it, I honestly cant be asked.
