Halloween's Michael being the prime example .. shot multiple times, stabbed in the eye ... etc ... since then every bloody movie does the same thing .. shoot him, put him down, but he'll always sit up and grab your ankle when you walk past.

if the victims were this hard to kill the maniacs would be nothing more than a mild annoyance.

i know you arent supposed to dwell on these things - you just put your brain in neutral and watch in a state uf numbness - but after a while it starts to grate on me..
I agree to a point. It never bothered me about Halloween though; Michael Myers is obviously intended to represent an unstoppable evil. He isn't simply a mortal slasher, but something more. And I think it works really well in the first Halloween film. In other movies, it doesn't always seem to be defined in that way.
