Michael Myers is one of the most terrifying slasher villains in horror history. The masked killer attacks without a motive, and can appear and disappear with relative ease. You never know when or where Michael will pop up, but rest assured, once he has his sights on a victim, he will do whatever it takes to hunt them down.
However, some aspects of Michael's character are wildly unrealistic. To be more specific, the killer's ability to transport instantly from location to location is just a little bit silly.
The best example of Michael's apparent superpower is when Laurie spots him outside of her window. Though Carpenter cuts to a reaction shot from Laurie, at no point does she break eye-contact with Michael. Yet somehow, when the shot switches back to show Michael, he's gone. Based on Laurie's reaction, Michael must have disappeared. Since Laurie was watching him, there is no way she wouldn't have seen Michael wander off between shots.
In another example, Michael pursues Laurie to the Doyle house. Laurie secures herself only a few feet away from the front door she just came through. Somehow, Michael jumps out from behind Laurie as if he has been positioned there since before she entered the home. Unless he suddenly turned into the Flash, how exactly did Michael get inside before Laurie? Based on the angle, he couldn't have gone through the door or window, so Michael must have just... warped inside.
