No offense, but I don't think you're completely aware of the intent that Carpenter had for Michael Myers. The Shape is not some wise-cracking dream demon or machete-wielding dullard, he's the Boogieman, the embodiment of evil. As such, the character achieves the status of legend and the movie the status of a cinematic folk tale. The same cannot be said of Jason, who was simply created to continue a franchise intended to cash in on the success of Halloween. The sequels have done the character a tremendous disservice (including Halloween II), but as presented in Carpenter's Halloween, Myers is a force of nature, unrelenting death in the Shape of a man. That's as "A-tier" as they come.
