Question: Why was Vincent (the guy who shot Malcolm) in his underwear? Couldn't he have shot Malcolm wearing his clothes?

Chosen answer: There's no explanation but someone being dressed only in their underwear while they are in someone else's home to shoot them would indicate a severe mental problem, which was the case with Vincent.

Answer: It is actually explained in the bonus features of the movies, it goes something along the lines of: he saw dead people for so long that he tried to hide from them by wearing different types of cloths. When he decides to commit suicide, this is the end. There was no need to wear something to hide who he is. He wore nothing at all, as if to be free, or to show that he doesn't want to be afraid any more.

Answer: May be to show the scars on his body given by ghosts.
