Thank you, PaladinNJ. That is probably true. I have just wanted to explore alternate facts, if there are any.
Thank you, BKB. Michael was a supernatural person from the start. He was described and displayed as one in <i>Halloween</i>. John Carpenter might have intended for the audience to make independent decisions about whether or not the slasher was alive at the end of this movie since he had not planned on using the character further. I was glad that Michael was brought back for better films. He was too fun to be immediately discontinued, and this round was awkward and uncomfortable.
Thank you, bobbydallas. That relates to Michael being a perpetual nightmare for Haddonfield.
Thank you, Zarkoff. That might be intensified by the fact that Halloween is highly reduced and downplayed in Haddonfield. Many of the parents go to engagements on that evening, and it looks as though the older children don't even Trick Or Treat. The residents barely want to celebrate, so apparently the town has never moved beyond the history of the Myers house.
Sidha108, I don't think that Michael <i>is</i> stalking Tommy. He just happens to walk past the elementary school when its students are being dismissed, and later wants to be in his original neighborhood, where the boy coincidentally lives. As a stranger and radically different person, Tommy does not reflect Michael. Also, the slasher would not want to share his character and skills. He briefly and weakly does it in part four, but that seems to come from an accident.
Sidha108, your curiosity is reasonable, but the question is purposely left unanswered. Showing the audience only the half of the house in which the murder takes place makes the home seem scarier.
TheLonelyOne86, using batteries is a matter of everything or nothing. You can't operate an item on the wrong type and have limited workability.
I forgot that the radios appeared in part three. Maybe Doc found a way to fix the damaged one, or perhaps the problem at the end of this movie was simply that the high electricity destroyed the signal in the moment. If the unit had been ruined, then batteries would have been useless.
Thank you, HellFire. Yes, but the radio is damaged by the lightning.
Sidha108, in the first movie, Doc plans to drive thirty years into the future, so 2015 is correct.
Marty is just trying to get away from the terrorists, blindfolded. He happens to time travel in the process, and I think that he doesn't notice the booth because of his extreme panic. If the boy had the intention to drive to the past, then he wouldn't give a sentence about outdoing the Libyans. Even with preparation, anyone would be shocked to suddenly land three decades into history. It's the type of event that a person needs to witness to believe.
Thank you, hurricane. 'Doc' is an informal name, not a title, so it is awkward and a bit insolent for it to be delivered by a stranger. Emmett isn't a doctor; he has a doctorate degree in science. You have an interesting and creative point about the possibility of a joke as far as the inventor thinks and knows. Also, Marty is not confused about what to call his parents, he accidentally refers to George as his father out of force of habit and is simply surprised to see his mother as a teenager.
Thank you, acelesson. If you are referring to the young woman with the nickname Domino, then yes, she is the one who has human immunodeficiency virus.
That is the most reasonable and fitting thing that I have heard about Billy's transformation, so maybe you are right.
I have a better idea of what you are saying. The scene is something that I have assumed to be a demonstration of Billy being a weird creature who has more tolerances than humans do without pointing to anything in particular. Perhaps that is the intention, since the servant does not entirely fit with a specific kind. That would support your suggestion that Billy is a monster who has the protective level of a zombie before dying.
Sidha108, Marty wakes in his mother's bedroom, so he knows that his grandparents are downstairs. He, however, has no idea that he is going to meet his parents. Lorraine is a drug addict, her father is a domineering ignoramus, and her youngest brother is in prison. Marty's maternal extended family is riddled with unstable connections, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that his aunt and two other uncles also have major problems. The boy's mother might have stopped talking to her father and one of her siblings.
Thank you, xergan. When Marty goes to the Brown mansion, Emmett does not yet know that his time machine works or even that he has built it. Therefore, the man allows the informality simply due to his visitor being a child. Since you mention that in the fifties Doc is not yet the wild town scientist, do you take the nickname as a derogatory term? The local kids say it affectionately. However, it does seem that by the time Marty is in high school, some residents, including older ones, are using the moniker in an insulting manner.
Thank you, liscarkat. That is what I'm talking about. Adults address Emmett as 'Dr. Brown', but the man lets kids be more casual and use the nickname. Marty is allowed to do it in 1955 only because of his age since he's not yet a friend of Emmett's. The scientist seems accustomed to juvenile strangers calling him 'Doc'.
Thank you, Biggs111Mr. A vampire can't turn a person in to a zombie, but does your cousin believe that Billy is a creature who can be killed easily? There is a hint that Peter's gun doesn't altogether stop the younger guy. If you think that Jerry's servant is dead from the beginning, then what kind of monster do you take him as?
Ticketsplease, I hate Riddler too, but he suits the story well. This is an unusually dark and dramatic version of Batman. The idea is to delve in to the emotional drainage and psychological torment that Bruce can experience from his anonymous position. That wouldn't match Batman fighting a clown.
