It says he had abusive parents (step dad) and his mom was a stripper when in actuality his parents were intact and were going to a halloween party that night. He killed like 4 people that night instead of just his sister. It has nothing to do with the celtic seed thing and in the book it even said he loved his parents (but because of the seed thing) he hated the idea of his sister reproducing and thats why he killed her. Thats just the bulshit in the first 10 minutes. Most of the killings happen in michaels old house when no one stepped foot in that F****** house until halloween 2.

Garbage film, garbage director, and if i ever see rob zombie i'm gonna F****** beat his a** and ask for my $8 back. F****** peice of S*** ruining a classic film like that. He better not try to make a F****** sequel.
Isn't that celtic seed thing revealed in one of the latter sequels? I think Zombie probably doesn't accept that as canon- perhaps just the first two movies. I personally liked the idea that there was absolutely NO explanation as to why Myers did what he did just why there was no explanation as to why he was practically indestructible.

Now when you see a remake you have to accept the high possibility that SOMETHING's going to be different. Hopefully some things will be better, but often times they're not (anyone see the "Hitcher" remake?). But nonetheless, it was explained well in advance that this is a reboot, a reimagining of Michael Myers rather than a run-of-the-mill remake. You had to have seen it coming.
The seed thing wasn't revealed until H6 (which is the best one and I understand that 5 movies is a lot to wait to explain the basis of the first movie). It doesn't matter if zombie didn't like that idea in 6 because that was pretty much the intro in the book (which is what the entire series is based off of).

I'm not sure what you mean in bold. Do you like how zombie explained it that he was abused and all that and basically went thru the motions of being a killer (at age 10) or in the original how he was age 6 and something just took over him (later revealed to be the emrgence of the celtic seed thing) despite his good upbringing and no abuse of any kind? I perfer the original because he's essential the embodiment of evil and has 0 humanity/emotion at any point in his life (until a part of 4 or 5 where he breaks away from it for a brief second).

Again I was gonna avoid seeing this at all cost but i heard it may have only been a different version of the first not an entirely different movie.
