Nothing spells out that Michael is something other than human more than the fact that something which should be instantly fatal only moderately handicaps him.

** One moment in particular, Michael while pursuing Laurie, Loomis and Marianne walks straight through a plate glass door, without so much as a flinch, really starts to solidify Loomis maybe not so unfounded belief that the guy ain't even human.
** Going along with this, the shot of Michael walking on fire before he dies. It's just so creepy to watch Michael be so determined to fulfill his objective that his imminent death doesn't faze him.
** Michael lifting up a nurse with a scalpel one-handed, as well as him breaking through a thick, locked door later on in the film certainly adds to this. Not only does Michael not stop, he's got strength that he can use even after all the abuse he's taken throughout the night. No one and nothing will get in his way.
