I hear you Jonny. I kind of like the story behind the mask too. Little Mikey looks so damn creepy in it. I just hope that if there are any more sequels, they will keep some continuity with the mask and use it over and over. I hated the way the mask always changed from the classic look, to the white pasty part 4 mask (on a fat Micheal no less!) and the absurd attempt at a mask in part 5. The first time I saw the trailer with little Mikey with the mask on, I was creeped out. Well Friday is the day Jonny. I'll be here Friday night to call it either way. If it is good, then I hope RZ comes back for a sequel. If it sucks, then put Mikey on the shelf. Either way, I tend to think that even if it sucks, but is a cash cow, they'll make another. RZ can say he's not coming back, but for the right $$$, he'll be back. I just hope he again goes in a different direction and not a Hospital sequel. Personally I did not like part 2 as much as others like it. It wasn't scary, just gory. Michael was no longer in the shadows, but was too visable. Again a testement to how the original is in a league by itself.
