Michael Myer's House

My brother joked that this is the house that inspired the Halloween movies. Its probably just one of numerous abandoned houses in Pasadena. In part because of the habitual fear that the city will buy up the houses in this stretch to build an extension of the freeway. Id love to live in that house even if it was the Halloween house. Im guessing its an uber expensive property. My brothers reference makes me wonder that Michael Myers might be a metaphor for problems in the cities. Maybe he represents the opposite of gentrification - when middle class neighborhoods turn into rundown when people leave and no one comes in like in huge sections of Detroit and other old industrial cities. Maybe he symbolizes the moral decay of middle class sections of urban or suburban places. Maybe its about the corruption of government and how that turns into conditions of decay and violence.
