Dr. Loomis discusses Michael Myers' evil.

[@narrativenoob]

I just love how the way he’s describing Michael being pale, emotionless, and having black eyes, it’s almost like he’s describing his mask rather than his actual appearance. That easily shows that the mask will forever be the face of Michael Myers.

[@Filthy_Larry]

More like Myers chose that mask because it expresses him perfectly. Under the mask is a human who has no expression and powered by a supernatural force.

[@albertwesker2695]

I've said for years the mask is a symbolic figure displaying Michaels face. Blank, pale, emotionless face and the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes. It's him 24/7

[@OGStarlightKY]

I think both interpretations are valid

[@marlincatlos6268]

We shouldn't be judging him. We should show him the love and compassion he needs.

[@chriswright6245]

Exactly. How upset would he feel being described as evil and a "beast" we need to do better as a society 😂

[@BrocktonLazarus3397]

I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this 6 year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes; the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply… evil.

In that speech Loomis gave us enough backstory for Michael and enough motivation for the doctor. Great writing, great performance. We didn't need all that backstory on screen during the Zombie remake as you say. Monsters are scarier in the dark, when they have an unknown quality. Michael Myers, Darth Vader, Hannibal Lechter, and the Alien xenomorph were all scarier without the expanded backstories of later films. This 1 minute (at most) speech makes Michael more terrifying than Zombie's 40 minute boring exposition.

Exactly. It's much better and creepier for Michael to grow up in a good family and still become the monster he did and be a boy there was clearly something wrong with from the beginning like in the original or else he would never have randomly picked up a knife and killed Judith with it than to have the stereotypical "He was abused as a child and bullied at school, had a stripper for a mother, an asshole for a stepdad and a slut for a sister" crap remake Michael had as a backstory.

That's what makes Michael Myers such a great horror villain. He doesn't need to be right there in front of you to freak you out. The mere mention of him combined with the almost folkloric way people talk about him is enough to give you the creeps. They don't call him the Boogeyman for nothing. 🔪🎃

[@moxxiiscarlett7141]

If the others fumbled with the ball in trying to do this, the remake completely dropped it within the first nanosecond. I don't know why new horror movies try to make us see the villain as a "person of circumstance". What happened to the Evil person being evil just because they wanted to? That they love to cause evil? It reminds me of a scene from a movie I had scene years back. The title eludes me, and I know it wasn't new, it was old. There was a woman talking to the heros, while looking at the monster, literally being Infront of it. She was spouting off how, "it was misunderstood" or "it's like this because of this/that" and the monster just hauls off and decapitates her before running after the heros who turn tail.

And this scene alone makes Michael Myers much scarier character in the original version than in 2007 remake. In Rob Zombie version Myers was simply a neglected and abused child who holds a grudge against the whole world based on his treatment as a child. In the original version Myers didn't need any excuses to do things he did. And while it might sound lazy to write the villain as pure evil, it really works in the original Halloween. He is scary and he kills because he wants to, not because he needs to only because he is a angst-ridden character with a cliched exposition, like in the Halloween remake.

[@brandonspain12345]

Essentially, Michael Myers is the modern day Grim Reaper on every October. Walks in dark clothes with a pale eyeless face, carrying a elongated blade to kill innocents. Always becoming the shadows as the shape. Jason kills for vengeance and Freddy kills for pleasure but Michael (at least in the original.) kills for no reason and that's what's makes Michael scary, he's just this thing that appears for no reason without any signs whatsoever like Death coming to it's prey. And it's certainly scarier when we don't know who he is or why he can't die. Not knowing how a monster is made is scarier than knowing.

I'm only 21 but what makes me unique is that I go deeper into context and clues. I'm only 21 and I gotta say John Carpenter thank you without you there's no Jason or Freddy.
