The problem with these movies is that all the original films were made as one-off's. IGN: Given the fates of a few choice characters, we're assuming you viewed this as a one-time gig? ZOMBIE: Oh, yeah, I definitely looked at this always as a one-off. So in this killing-machine of a person, that was the one last thread of humanity left in him. So he's just in search of a sister who, of course, has no idea who he isвЂ¦And so when she turns on him, he's just going to destroy everything. But the only thing in his mind that's left is this bizarre, psycho-obsessive memory of his baby sister. IGN: To your estimate, what is the relationship between Michael and his sister? ZOMBIE: I played it from the point of view that Michael's emotional development ended when he was ten years old.

I couldn't make a statement with this movie if I'd been concerned with the others. I was never worried about what had taken place in the other movies. So I thought that the only way to make that character exciting again would be to flip it upside down and make it a character that you're now involved with. They've already done that with seven sequels that degenerate in quality with each one. So, in a sense, you can't re-demystify something. But then they made seven damn sequels, so that character has pretty much been destroyed. I mean, in Halloween, Michael is a complete mystery. IGN: Given that each sequel gets less effective as you further demystify the character, did you have a fear that in providing that backstory, you risked explaining away the devil? ZOMBIE: I felt that it was ultimately the only possible way to go. But as we were shooting with the young actor who plays him - who is really, really great in this - I realized that it could have been completely compelling. I never thought that young Michael would be compelling enough to carry an entire movie.

IGN: Was that approach something you'd initially considered? ZOMBIE: It wasn't really something that I thought of until we were filming. But people wanted to see Michael Meyers, which is why I really chose to dwell on him and Laurie consequently became a secondary character.

I mean, I could have made the whole movie about young Michael and it could have ended with him killing his family and that, in itself, would have been a compelling enough story. But to take it from a different point of view and ask what this character is really about seemed the best route to take. But that movie already exists, so I thought that to go back and do that again would be fairly stupid. John Carpenter's movie is a movie about a girl named Laurie Strode who is stalked by the Boogie Man. In the original movie, he's not a character he's a ghost. IGN: So what was your guiding principle in trying to reinvent this character? ZOMBIE: I just wanted to make him a character. But feeling that a prequel or sequel or any continuation was not really something I wanted to be involved with, the only thing I thought would work would be a remake or a fresh start. I was approached with the idea of doing something involved with Halloween. IGN: Was this an idea that originated from your appreciation from the first film, or were you approached to do this? ZOMBIE: It wasn't anything I'd ever thought about.
