I disagree. He is a demon or monster of supernatural strength and so far cannot die no matter how many times he is shot burnt or ran over. What's his purpose? Just to kill family he for no reason at all and anyone who gets in the way. Yes that's pure evil but no explanation except he is a lunatic that was in mental hospital most of his life but gets out on Halloween just to kill again.
He is no better than Jason Voorhees and Jason has more kills and if it weren't for those damn camp counselors that should have been watching him instead of letting him drown his mom wouldn't have had to kill and then he had to avenge his moms death that he witnessed get beheaded. Poor Jason but Michael Myers is just a killing lunatic with no purpose other than to kill.
Halloween III Season of the Witch has more to do with Halloween than the Michael Myers that just kills for the sake of killing on Halloween but SOTW tells a more sinister tale that is bone chilling to think about masks that turn kids into maggots and worms. It has way more dark value and the essence of Halloween.
