The various hatreds of the slashers do tend be centered around things traditionally related to life, e.g. Freddie hates children, Jason hates sex, and Michael Myers hates his family. In the various sequels they might stray somewhat from their original purpose in order to up the ante or the like, it seems to come back to the idea that the dead do indeed hate the living.<BR/><BR/>While we're on the subject, I think the creators of Halloween really should have conceded at some point that Michael wasn't human. The guy was shot, stabbed, burned, blown up, and decapitated I don't know how many times. He never spoke and was focused only on killing. I know the idea is that he's a man of pure evil, but being human carries certain things with it they never seemed to give old Mr. Myers. I think he might have been more interesting if he was human.
