Zombie had said on at least one occasion. He feels that Jman, Bubba and Myers are not scary anymore. Since they appear on lunchboxes and toys are being made of them. They are not feared by children and young adults anymore (BS), the way Myers scared us as kids. I think Rob feels he has to amp-up the icon to make him scary again.
I think his approach maybe too extreme but nothing is on film yet. I also agree with many of you that state Myers motives should remain a mystery. The fact that a seemingly innocent young boy decides on Halloween night to murder his sisiter for no reason and the doctor who becomes obsessied with trying to understand why and what he is as well as seeing that he is never set free, makes for a better film. Giving to much back story to the killer takes away from all that. Classic 70s horror rarly over-exposed the killer on screen or revealed their motives. Hell the lure of Myers was he never was seen in clear view but was always present in the background and was evil incarnate.
Making Myers just another serial Killer like Bundy or Ramirez is not going to make him scary again to a new audience in my option. You are going want to be able to take your horror pups to see it as you may have had a cool parent or sibling turn you onto the film. Some of the overtly adult elements Zombie may add will make that task impossible for responcible parents. The original film was more scary then dare I say sick and realistic.
I will always have the original Halloween film and no matter what happens. It will simply make the original that much more a classic to me.
I have to say that nothing can be worse then Busta Rhymes besting Myers with a barrage of karate kicks. That was in my option the final nail for Myers. How demeaning was that?
