Those are actually two of the people I was thinking about in my last post! lol
I don't know if I was rooting for them cause I didn't want the baby to be an orphan or if I admired their relentlessness to try and survive. I did feel for the guy being framed and all. Made him quite interesting and with all the shit he went through you just wanted him to have a happy ending.

Very true. Im glad the Horror genre seems free to try new things, but the slasher got boringly formulaic real fast.

The original Halloween is the only excellent film of the series. (critics/ratings confirm that assertion). A lot of Horror fans like them all. Halloween 2 has some effective moments, but coincidentally, doesnt develop likable characters. Even lovable Laurie is reduced to a blubbering mute who simply moves to different rooms; while even The Bogeyman & Loomis arent developed.

You want character development go watch Schindler's List. Sculpt you might like The Notebook. ::big grin:: The purpose of Michael Myers was an ABSENCE of character smh.

If a villain doesn't have some personality, they're just another boring bad guy. Look at Freddy or Pinhead. They're some of the best horror villains because of their personalities.

Sure, sure, some folks can ride the repetitive titillation of kills &/or titts, & dont need anything else from a film. Thats just more films for them, but that doesnt make them good films, nor good Horror films.

With Halloween 78, I was into the mysterious development of the Boogeyman. (Myers did have character, the supernatural elements, falling & getting back up, wearing mask, tilting his head like a dog, not speaking, stopping until he put his mask back on... made his character not Michael Meyers but a man becoming the Boogeyman.)While it also developed the other characters. You saying Horror is better without it? "Horror" without story is just porn. Im not less of a Horror aficionado because I know porn is lacking.

I like good films from any genre. I like the character development in Halloween 78, Shindlers list, Alien, Fight Club, The Ring, whatever, that only enhances my appreciation for the elements & execution of good Horror. Like I said, char development or likeable chars isnt a requirement, but leaving it out doesnt mean its good Horror either.
