The legendary Donald Pleasance gave Michael Myers that aura and Mystique while playing Dr.Loomis so much so that I’d dare say without Loomis the franchise would not have reached such success. Some of the best dialogue I’ve ever seen in film build up a character so powerful.

[@dommoore6180]

Without Loomis all we have in Myers is a character design, people seriously underestimate how significant Loomis is to the series. There's a reason they've twice now tried to rewrite Laurie into a "new Loomis", why Kills has the whole town talking like Loomis despite it being totally illogical and coming off as pretty dumb. Problem is, without the specific relationship to Myers, the background/personality and the history that Loomis has, this role doesn't work. But without this role, Myers is literally just a character design walking through sets. The inherent forward momentum of the character also adds a hell of a lot to the sequels he's allowed to feature prominently in, whereas with say Laurie, they have to artificially inflate her role in order to retain her relevance to a plot (sister twist, Sartain in h18, etc.) I'm all for a full reboot of the series after Ends that excludes Laurie at least for a while, but whilst many fans say we should have all new characters, I really think that Loomis is a must to some capacity in each new iteration - without him the whole story and villain fall apart.

[@chrisdavis4387]

That would be awesome

[@barbiechirose9717]

[@revisionistfrontier]

That would be cool. Fun fact: According to John Carpenter, Dr. Loomis in Halloween is the same Dr. Loomis in Psycho. That would mean that in addition to stopping Michael Myers on multiple occasions, he also stopped Norman Bates at least once in 1960 -- just a few years before Michael was to also be committed. And according to Wes Craven, it is insinuated that Billy Loomis and his mother from the Scream series are also related to him -- meaning that Dr. Sam Loomis literally came from a family full of crazy people, and therefore knows how to handle people like Norman Bates and Michael Myers.

I have a theory that over time Loomis due to his close proximity and working with Michael over such a long period of time somehow allowed him to absorb some of the curse of thorns into himself. Would explain a lot of things like how he was able to survive the hospital explosion and stabbing along with the other times he takes a beating despite being so old and also why his mental state seemed to deteriorate and he became so obsessed with stopping and killing Michael, just as Michael was obsessed with killing his family members.

[@deannawoods1985]

Donald Pleasance played Dr. Loomis so well and he is my favorite character in the Halloween franchise. It's unfortunate that there is no clear cut answer to his fate, but I would like to think the same thing that you pointed out here. That he died trying to protect the people of Haddonfield. I think that you need to do the history of Laurie Strode next.

[@DoodlePad101]

I'd love to see a comparison of all the Michaels and Lauries, and their different drives for survival. Personally i'm loving the newest ones, where there's no relation between Micheal and Laurie and he's just driven by some unknown need to murder. Makes him far more frightening than some posessed lad knocking off the relatives.

[@themadrapper101]

No he hasn't become far more frightening since only a few years ago in 2018. And Halloween Ends shown that the Michael Myers in 2018 can be weakened , humanized and defeated. The Thorn Michael Myers never died. And even though he was targeting family members 99% of his victims weren't

I love the idea of not knowing and it’s up to the viewer. But I like to assume there’s a unknown unexplainable force of evil that has taken over such a pure soul. I like to think Michael was a pure soul at birth. When his parents take the mask off after he killed his sister he is a boy, his parents look to have had a good household. I would like a timeline where they show young Michael 3-5 before he turns 6 and the show ends with how Michael ended up on the other side of the street alone lurking at his own house. I have so many questions yet it’s probably best that we leave this up to the viewers. But maybe keep everything that has worked… they already have world building in Halloween kills the officer that *SPOILER ALERT YOU HAVE BEEB WARNED* died said in a line that he knew Michael and that he was a very quiet weird kid who always stared out the window… maybe when making this show they should just have parents concerned about their quiet kid who never spoke a word and acts weird and they bring him to see help… psychiatrist and all… idk it would be amazing.

I think the opening of Halloween Kills was my favourite part of the film. I thought it was awesome. It was like Donald Pleasance was there! Couldn't believe it! Really well done

[@dustyhurst8195]

Doctor lommis is one of my all time favorite characters and rest in peace Donald pleasance your a legend 💯🎃🙏

In the original ending of the original timeline, the "curse" of Michael Meyers gets transferred to Loomis. Implying that he'll become an immortal killing machine while Michael retires.

[@JuniorJuni070]

No.

[@tayloranderson7547]

Immortal killing machine while michel retries.

[@jhovanymontor437]

Loomis and micheal , Laurie are my favorite characters in halloween franchises 🎃 .

[@matthewvaldez6046]

Your Harry Potter impersonation literally made me laugh out loud. Well done!

[@smbonner22]

Micheal Myers is 63 years old according to the original timeline. That's wild!!

[@ashwinidesai4051]

Well, he's not human, so age don't matter to him.

[@virgie4715]

@@ashwinidesai4051 true but his body will age and eventually give out. Guess that’s when we’ll finally know if Michael is truly evil or if something evil dwelled inside him. Edit: his body *is* aging already

[@JuniorJuni070]

@@virgie4715 Omg have yoi ever watched the movies.. There is no demon in him.. He is.. the demon.

I like to think that Loomis never dies because just like evil, good never dies (even if he does get pretty crazy in Halloween 5 and 6)

[@TF2Scout..]

amazing video pure gold

[@filmshow_7615]

I know Mr. Donald Pleasence passed away but when I watched Halloween Kills and I seen that flashback scene and Loomis came in the door I actually thought that was Donald Pleasence. That was my favorite scene of the whole movie!

[@darinhicks7132]

I am satified with this time line

[@jennifercardwell258]

The comics and novelizations are cool but I feared the Shape. I'm just saying.. late 70's, loads of serial killers, fear of the possibility that we are not safe, even when you hide. He could be anyone. Nothing to bring attention to himself. That is what made me love the original Halloween 1978.

[@ShayneStatic]

Love the way the video came out! Can't wait to see what's next!

[@fernworm511]

A Dr. Loomis series would be sick.

[@tranangkhoapham2695]

It better be..... "Jamie !!Jamie !!! Did you put your hands on the serial killer ????"
