As much as I really enjoyed House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects I absolutely HATED Zombie's Halloween. He destroyed EVERYTHING about Michael that made him purely evil. In Zombie's version Dr. Loomis refers to him as a "psychopath", that is NOT Michael Myers! In Carpenter's well done masterpiece Michael is referred to as "purely and simply, evil" and THAT is the real Michael Myers. I thought the whole backstory and origin behind him was aweful as well. The whole white trash poor homelife thing was the most terrible cliche I could ever imagine. Michael Myers in the original Halloween has NO purpose, NO motive and NO remorse, he is just evil in human form. What I loved about Michael in the original is he didn't have a backstory, he just snapped one day and the evil came out. I think the correct way of doing a backstory to Michael would to have him never talk, never have really been normal, never to have really showed emotion, like something was always wrong with him in a sense. He would just be that really weird creepy boy who still ate, still slept, but didn't ever have friends or interact sociably too much at all, always to himself. He would of course still be loved by his family but they would be highly concerned with him and his well being. THEN things just escalate with his emotions, his actions would get more disturbing and then he kills Judith while his parents are gone and there ya go, there's your backstory. But hey, that's just me. Zombie's Michael was too human, nothing at all creepy about him. Daeg was a terrible actor too.
