Comparing Two Michael Myers characters...?

I totally agree with the point you're making. I have only seen Zombie's Halloween twice, and both times it wasn't on the best TV, (Still waiting for a decent dvd of it), so i feel that i don't have the right at the moment to comment on which i felt was the better film, as i didn't get the full experience with Zombie's version. However, i still did pick up on Michael Myers and the point you made. With what i have managed to work out so far, i do enjoy Zombie's version of Michael Myers. To me, he does feel more human. Like you mentioned, Myers in the original film was not really that lifelike. He look exactly the same throughout the whole film (with the exception to when his mask was removed). Nice hair, nice clothes (kinda) and a nice mask. As well as the backstory to his childhood in the new film which helped make him more human, i did enjoy the battered look he had. It did come across more effective to me that there was actually a real man under it.
