Halloween H20: Someone in the writing room became very enamored with the idea of Micheal Myers being so single minded that the car he arrives in has all four tires blown out. He drove from Illinois to California. That means The damned Boogyman had to stop for gas. How does Micheal Myers get gas? Does he kill people and siphon it? Does he bum rush people and take their fillup at the pump? They don't tell us that there's a trail of bodies between the two states so the best I can figure is the owner of the car had a credit card he's using. But how does mute Micheal Myers order gas at a station that doesn't have the swipe outside?
Wouldn't it have been better for him to hop car everytime one runs out, killing the owners, leaving a body trail? This way Laurie could hear about it on the news and dig in when everyone is like "It's been 20 years, he's not coming for you". Everyone else could be like "Not every murder hobo is Micheal Myers, it's been 20 years, it's not him." at that point acting like Laurie's losing it. She would be vindicated for preping when Myers shows up and starts dropping her kid's friends.
