Researched the whole cult aspect revealed in the SIXTH film (ha). This is the 6th film. The sixth. In a franchise used to rake in the cash. John Carpenter was not at all involved with this production; writting, directing, anything. I'm not sure if such a researcher of film as yourself is aware... but when a film turns into a franchise and the original creator drops out... the story is taken on by independant writers who give the film their own twists. The fact that Michael was "chosen by a cult" in the sixth has nothing to do with the original; you CANNOT say that John Carpenter intended from the start to have Michael be in a cult. He very well could have deemed him as he was presented in HIS VERSION (ie. THE ORIGINAL)... as a confused child with a knife.
