Since Carpenter only planned on making one of these films and never intended on the sibling angle, why was it Laurie that Micheal stalked and tried to kill?
shareHe first spotted her when she dropped the keys off in front of his old house. He immediately started following her. Also notice he followed Tommy around for a little bit too, and he was with her at the Myer's house.
shareNO OBSESSION...JUST PURE DUMB LUCK.
shareMichael Myers is the personification of evil. No reason needed. He just saw somebody and enjoyed toying with them. There was no specific reason he picked Laurie.
shareI wonder if Annie never yelled "speed kills!", would he still want to kill them? I'm thinking yes, but maybe that insult pushed him over the edge.
shareIt could of been for many reasons the same with why he killed his own sister.
Movies back then they didn't really think of long term and do movie deals so you know you have a set amount of films guaranteed otherwise I expect we would of seen a trilogy which was a lot different
She just rubbed Michael in a wrong way...
Seriously, the randomnes of Michael choosing his victims made him more scary than the artificial sibling angle in the sequel. Its one of those unexplained things in the movie, like how Michael was able to drive a car.
