This is on par with quints monologue in jaws 1975. Both epic

DMX - Tales From The Darkside in the beginning

This is the best speech in any horror film ever and it was the best horror film ever made. 👌🏻🔪 2:26 till end

But me whenever I watch the movie I think of it as only a movie that is all it is just a movie nothing else it does not necessarily mean that I want to be like that in real life no way man I would never want to do something like that not at all

So now he knows exactly what it was that had made him kill his sister it was a voice that he had heard and it told him to kill his sister

How do you know he is evil? Did you ever give him a chance to grow or just lock him up 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Pleasence. Is. Lomis

Lea

Sorry. Pleasence. Ws

Donald was an amazing actor. He made the movie even more scary about the way he talked about Michael.

Pleasance is totally into the role, do you see his eyes glistening as if he would break down and cry any moment? He is at his last nerve, he is nervous, terribly afraid, he just makes this fucking role his own. Now for my two favourite actors of all time. I think could have pull it off but I just cant imagine a commanding person like Lee being so nervous and shaky. This would have been a different Loomis. I also don't think that there would be much threat going off from Michael if 1,96 m Sir Christopher loomed over everyone around him. He would have been great, the movie still would have been a success but I don't know if the Loomis role would have been that iconic. Now for Cushing. Again, selfassured, very commanding. Used to play the hero in such pics. I just can't imagine him, sorry. He is a pitchperfect actor but I just think of Van Helsing. Peter Cushing probably would have delivered that speech with his trademark coolness and trademark lifted indexfinger, also looking more dominant and commanding then the nervous wreck that is Pleasance. I don't know how much Carpenters direction would have been able to change Chris and Peters distinctive styles so in my book, Pleasance was the right choice to go with.

Loomis is one of the most epic characters and movie history, regardless of genre - has some epic speeches and one liners

Fit the role perfectly

The devils eyes of a hermaphrodite and cocaine addict.

Donald Pleasance is pretty great in any role, but this was amazing. Dr Loomis RIP. Loomis character was brilliant versus Michael Myers.

Ain't no sunk , got to eat no dog , dam mike dogs for real, peace and much love

The background theme song of the scene makes it scary when Loomis tells the story. 2:54

“Still warm.” I’m sorry, what was that? I’m already half away Venice, Italy.

The buildup to his honest terror, is the reason Pleasance was the best choice

TRIVIA: Donald Pleasence was not to keen on taking this roll. It was only at the urging of his young daughters. He got paid a pretty decent salary for the short time he was actually on screen. TRIVIA: This movie was originally supposed to be titled "The Baby Sitter Murders". TRIVIA: In the auditions, the ditzy blonde (P.J. Soles) got the roll due to the way she said "totally".

Hey

The pacing in this film was interesting I liked that through each act miachel claimed a new victim slowly and was getting closer and closer to Laurie before she even realizes it that it’s too late and then by the climax of the film look is finally catches up to Michael

Donald Pleasence should have been nominated for an Oscar for his role as Dr. Loom is.

2:28-3:10 One of the greatest monologues!

One of the greatest of all time Donald - this movie is knitted together beautifully by his storytelling

Rip Loomis

Dr Loomis my favorite character he was the best he did great with his role

Fun Fact Michael Myers Eats Dogs

Donald Pleasances remarkably restrained portrayal of his character makes this film a stand out

This part, the chase with Laurie, and the ending are *indeed* the best parts of the movie,

Jmmy Halloween Myers michael 1978

this is how you elevate a character who can’t speak and still make him terrifying.

fun fact this scene was used in Ice Nine Kills' song Murders and Acquisitions

For those of us who have encountered pure evil as policemen, I can attest to Dr.Loomis' words. It sends shivers up my spine each time I watch this video.

U know when I film is perfect when it can live without Christopher Lee. Perfection 👌

Is haunted

Pleasence.... brilliant

I mean shouldn't he be looking for the car michael is driving

Hand dryer Do i go to udf when u there? Negative cause i dont give a fuck bout ur goddamn life

Sirens

Old quiet cars

Traffic

“It’s still warm.” “He got hungry.” Makes me laugh every time.

I've always had to tell truth as lie let you know ...

Halloween and John Wick did a wonderful job of building up these mythical Boogeyman like characters by talking. The person who really outlies this essence is someone credible to the audience (Loomis in Halloween, Viggo in John Wick), but at the same time, you see this essence of fear in them. Instead of being macho and denying it, they admit it. They admit the Boogeyman scares them, and coming from them, it means Something.

This scene is perfection start to finish the way loomis describes Michaels gives me goosebumps every time all these years later

Bracket passed away this year..

No matter how old I get this will always be my favorite horror movie. I am proud to say that my son loves it too. He watched it with me when he was young and loved it. He dresses as Michael Myers every Halloween. :)

Pleasance was the perfect choice of Dr Loomis

Gen x coming for you yep
