I always liked Michael Myers more when he didn't have a motivation for killing. it's much scarier, to me, that anyone, at any time, could just flip out and go on a rampage. when they started delving too much into his backstory (motive, what drove him to it, etc.) the franchise lost me big time. it just lets the audience breathe a big sigh of relief like, "OHhhhh, he was abused! that'swhat drove him over the edge! whew! for a second I thought anyone could be a killer at any moment!"

so my killer would be like that. no backstory. just one day flips his shit and starts murdering people in brutal ways (a la Hatchet). except he'd be skinny and not ugly or malformed in any way. just to, yet again, get back to the "regular joe" ideal.
