Some of those are interesting explanations, maybe I do need to rewatch? I remember this film scaring so many of my friends and family as kids, but it NEVER scared me. I just didn't get it. It wasn't gory as the Friday series, nor was it "flashy" as the Nightmare series. I do appreciate it now, as it is more psychological horror, on a simpler level, but for some reason, it just never made me afraid. For what its worth Poltergeist was far scarier to me than most slasher films...but I digress
From what I recollect, none of the injuries Michael sustains in the original film are really significant, until, yes the end, with the fall and "I shot him six times..." etc... That I believe was the significant turn at the very end, up until that point, there was nothing that indicated to me, that he was anything more than a disturbed individual. Of course there have been studies of people IRL with extreme adrenaline levels, or under the influence of powerful drugs that have suffered far worse, and still lived, but I know Michael was (as far as we know), not any of those cases.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
