Halloween 1978 Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode
Some horror movies became classics thanks to their influence, legacy, and impact on the genre, and among them is John Carpenter’s Halloween, but some harsh realities come up when rewatching it decades later. In 1978, John Carpenter brought the slasher film Halloween, which introduced a new masked slasher villain called Michael Myers.
What followed was Michael being found by his parents outside the house in a state of shock, after which he was taken to Smith’s Grove Sanitarium. There, he became Dr. Loomis’ patient, but he never spoke again. Although subsequent Halloween movies and remakes explored Michael’s reasons for killing Judith, Carpenter’s movie never gave a reason, and a six-year-old boy randomly killing his sister and becoming mute is quite disturbing.
8 Michael Myers Shouldn't Have Known How To Drive Halloween 1978 Left A Huge Michael Myers Plot Hole Halloween infamously left a Michael Myers plot hole that has sparked debate among fans and casual viewers for years. As mentioned above, Michael spent 15 years in Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, meaning that, by the time he escaped, he was 21 years old.
7 Michael Myers Stalked Laurie Strode Like, Truly Stalked Laurie Strode Around Town Close One of the most disturbing elements in Halloween is Michael Myers stalking Laurie Strode, and it’s not something that gets easier to watch as years go by. What made Michael so terrifying in Halloween is that he didn’t have a reason to do what he did: he didn’t have a reason to kill Judith and he didn’t have a reason to target and stalk Laurie, he simply did.
Even when Laurie opened up to Annie about who she would like to go to the school dance with, Annie made fun of her. While this could be seen as two best friends teasing each other, Annie and Lynda had already been mean to Laurie, so Annie’s attitude is seen in a completely different light. 3 Some Deaths In Halloween Are Nonsensical As Creative As Michael Myers Was, Some Deaths Made No Sense Slasher movies get creative with their kills, but even those who do their best to be as realistic as possible have some truly nonsensical deaths. Carpenter’s Halloween fell into this category with some of its kills, and the truth is that they get more and more ridiculous the more you rewatch the movie.
