"Sure Micheal Myers can be insane for the sake of the film but what caused it.Whats Carpenter trying to say?"
Okay, this is petty crap, but his named is spelled MichAEl. My name is Michael, so perhaps I'm too sensitive to catch that mistake. ;)
Carpenter didn't have some great deep meaning. In all the interviews I've seen with him, he stated he just decided to make a movie about the "boogie man" trying to kill the baby-sitter. He didn't even come up with the fact they'd be related until he wrote the sequel.
I think you're looking for something deeply hidden that is not there.
"Why dont black people feature in horror films?"
Well, perhaps it is supply and demand. Most of my black friends aren't in to horror movies for some reason. Most of my friends that love horror movies are all white. Perhaps the black race generally doesn't support horror movies financially by going to the theater, so many writers don't write characters to appeal to black people.
That, or it could be the fact most people making horror movies, and most movies, are white people and they tend to identify with white characters and tend to write movies with characters they are familiar with.
Man I am too damn sober to get in a deep mood to come up with better arguments. Perhaps when I'm wasted Saturday night I'll give these questions another stab. lol
