Zombie did NOT create why Michael Myers was scary. All they did was create how a serial killer created. Michael Myers is pure evil. Zombie seem to try and make us feel bad for Michael Myers to a point of justifying his early killings especially of his family. What you're saying is WHY the Zoimbie movies are not liked especially by real Halloween fans.Sorry but the zombie movies are just packaged better and created why Myers was scary.
The other movies he was never a threat back then at all.
Plus boring as all fukk to watch.
The zombie movies are better because it really went in depth to the character and explained why he was Myers we feared.
The other movies is about duke in the trench coat and Jaime running around with no real establishing element to latch on to why Myers is so scary.
Best thing about the early ones is the score.
Which carpenter made himself.
Past the mythos of the score. I watch the zombie flicks.
As a matter of fact I would put zombie's first four movies up against any horror flicks all time too.
You just have an emotional affinity for those early movies but they don't really do shyt and real talk. I was a shawty watching them all come out and be dumb as fukk too. So, zombie took care to eliminate the cheese from the originals.
As carpenter will cheese the fukk out of a movie and we can cite all of them for reference on the cheese.
Except escape from my and in the sequel he cheesed that shyt to high hell. Although I love it but it is a fine line between that and mars cheese factor wise. That same cheese is found in all those old Myers films. Plus they are boring and Michael is not intimidating for the time when stacked against Freddie, chud, Jason, etc.

You're NOT suppose to go in depth in Myer's character. Thats what makes him creepy. Them being boring is subjective(yet in the originals Myer's was more original with his kills). And I don't get what you mean with cheesey? I felt the Zombie one to be way more cheesey? The Original Myers not intimidate ? What? Jason is an undead retarded killer in the forest where most of his kills are due to his victims(teenagers) being stupid and I love the Friday the 13th movies. Jason had to get all these silly upgrades to make him intimidating. Freddy has to go into your dreams to kill you and he has a big advantage. Anyways two of those killers are unrealistic compared to Myers. I don't know about Chud.
Myers is more immediately because he doesn't need brute strength like Jason or going into your dreams like Freddy. His intelligence and being more skilled scares you. In the first films Myers was sneaking up behind you in your own house in the suburbs. More scary than a killer in the woods or a demon in your dreams...
