Funny how Michael always is able to stab everyone else...but when it comes to Laurie , he misses or grazes her arm. He had a clear shot at the top of the stairs but he scrapes her arm. Was he toying with her? He also missed a stab at the Doyle house when he popped up from behind the couch like a jack in the box lol . Missed his aim again. Perhaps that Halloween party he set up at the Wallace house tired him out.
shareMaybe he was just exhausted at that point. A night of killing and mayhem can really tucker a guy out.

Had he got her first time, the movie would have ended. That's the magic of movies.

Believably? In a horror movie? Come on. He stabs her in the shoulder and she falls off the railing. Keep in mind he was walking behind her, not standing still, so his aim was off. Most people would be stunned or immobile from that attack, but not Laurie, then again, as was said, movie would be over.
Next attempt was behind a couch, where he couldn't see her, again, aim and she wasn't sitting on the couch, she was on the floor. Distance.
Don't try and simulate these scenarios, otherwise the person you're attempting this on might not be too pleased with you.
He had her in his hands, literally choking the life out of her, straight on, not from behind like Annie and Lynda, where Laurie could fight back and she did.
Had Loomis not shot him, she'd be dead.
Why is that so unbelievable? In real life, murders and attempted murders, even with guns, rarely go off as planned, quietly. Haven't you seen crime scenes where there was a struggle? There's usually a struggle. And that's just one house, in this film they struggled across 2 houses.
It builds suspense, it's a fight, not a quick one and done. It's formulaic.
If you had a proficient killer, this would be one quick, depressing movie. Where's the fun in that? No suspense, no tension, no tease, just death. That kills the audience as much as victim.
Moviemaking 101 always make them work for it.

Michael, you seem a little defensive...well, it's been a long day...
Seriously though, when did he rest? He may be pure evil, supernatural even, but he has a human body which bleeds when shot. His day started when he saw Laurie at his house and never stopped. Followed her to her school, robbed a hardware store, followed Tommy, took Judith's tombstone, then followed Laurie and Annie to their babysitting jobs.
That's a long day for anyone. Never ate, except the dog who knows when, never slept, as far as we know, especially from the point of following Laurie and Annie. That in of itself was 4 hours, between watching Annie to his escape. Rigging bodies, setting up the headstone, the kills themselves. All effort.
He's not human!

He missed once.

It is twice actually, as the OP pointed out.

He missed once when he was behind the couch. The first time he did, in fact, hit her.
Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years.
It was not a kill show however, AOI.

Yet it wasn't a miss.

He missed. If he hit her like he wanted too, she'd been dead right there.

Did the knife hit her arm?

It grazed her arm. We see the blood and the scar later on in H2O.
In H20? That's some pretty solid continuity.
