Factual error: As Laurie, Linda and Annie are walking home after school, they pass several palm trees which are not typically found in Illinois.
Continuity mistake: 10-year-old Michael has just returned home from trick-or-treating and is eating candy in the kitchen. The black handle of his pumpkin basket is raised in close-up shots while down in other shots.
Continuity mistake: Michael goes to his last meeting with Loomis bare faced and wearing a robe. Then he's sitting there not wearing the robe and wearing a mask.
Chosen answer: In the original "Halloween" movie series, the Michael Myers character is evil personified. He is SO evil, in fact, that he is bulletproof and killproof. He survives all attempts to destroy him much like Jason Voorhees in the ALL the "Friday the 13th" a series.

Yes, but that is because of all that cult of Thorn crap that is revealed in part 6, The Curse of Michael Myers. In Rob Zombie's version, Michael seems to be a "normal," as in human, kid.
But the cult storyline wasn't in their wheelhouse when they made the original. Michael would have had to been a regular child before the murder of his sister. He wasn't regarded as super human in the first two movies. In the original and Rob's remake, Myers survives being shot multiple times.
