SIX TIMES WAS NOT ENOUGH. Dr. Samuel Loomis was psychiatric doctor assigned to one Michael Myers after the boy attacked his older sister Judith on Halloween night in 1963. There are many versions of this character, but for the purposes of this video, I'll be focusing on Dr. Loomis from the original timeline, which includes Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers and Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.
In this video we will analyze his behavior in order to better understand his motivations, how his life was forever altered, and how he became obsessed with stopping his masked adversary: Michael Myers.
I'll start with Loomis's earliest known details, then discuss his time taking care of Michael at Smith's Grove Sanitarium from 1963-1978. This time period is only documented in the non-canon Chaos Comics Halloween issues which are not considered canon, so I won't officially be counting them as part of his story, however, most of it is non-contradictory, and it can be interesting to discuss to help potentially understand his motivations.
In Horror History, I analyze everything in the canon, in this case, the canon of the original timeline, which includes the first five Michael Myers focused Halloween films.

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.

[@Mrshadowmind14]

I like to think after his death Haddenfield would put up either a statue or a memorial to him, but i'm doubtful, they'd probably have people desecrating his grave blaming him for Myers when he did everything he could to keep him locked up.

[@patrickmuscia9007]

I’d like to see a prequel made about the life and career of Dr. Sam Loomis. His youth. His entry into the psychiatric field. The psychos he encounters along the way. And the movie can end in 1963 when he’s introduced to a six year old Michael Myers

I would argue he is more important and synonymous to the series/Michael than Laurie/Jamie Lee. And, yes, a better character than Laurie Strode. Of course, a great final girl is vital, but it doesn't need to be Laurie; Jamie and her step sister in 4 and 5 were good would-be victims, too. Loomis is more irreplacable, and a constant throughout.

I'd love to see a comparison of all the Michaels and Lauries, and their different drives for survival.

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

"He who loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal."-John 12:25 DRV. This verse now makes me think of Loomis. In a way, he cared less for his own life than he did for fighting evil. It kind of made it hard for Michael to kill him.

[@Noobie2k7]

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.

I like to think there is a force that is taking over the shape. I mean we see it in the first movie when he goes to kill his sister the camera in michaels perspective looks up at his hand as he’s knifing his sister… almost as if he doesn’t know why he’s doing it or in surprise that he is doing it… it’s his first kill. 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.

Imagine michael at Court Loomis: "He is pure evil, he should be locked up!" Michae: heavily breathing.

H20 originally was supposed to mention the events of 4,5 and 6 and they left in (almost by accident) a pair of bloody scissors in the crime photos intro. Which were only used in part 4 and 5..I believe Laurie faked her death, gave Jamie Loyd up for adoption before leaving for California to start a new life, new name and son. Her being in California was also further explaining her absence in the other films when they could of just had her back in Haddonfield, which is also why it's the only one to not be in Haddonfield.

Dude your History videos are AMAZING id love to see you go over Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street franchises

[@ashtonmarteniz1586]

[@jhovanymontor437]

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

[@bentramer682]

I'm praying for you to complete this series without going insane, the Halloween continuity is hella fucked up

[@TheAlexMassaad]

Great video! Thank you for the amazing quality as well!

[@UltramanExplained]

I love this background you use.. the chalkboard one. Its so much cooler than the apartment one.

[@1000000man1]

Actually Loomis' stroke happened when he collapsed after hitting Michael with the wooden plank in Halloween 5. Originally, he was supposed to die there. That's why he's not there at the end.

[@dajourtaylor3643]

He showed up in 6

[@tayloranderson7547]

That is so true

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.

[@well-dressed-bird]

This has been my favorite video you've ever made.

[@Devitron87]

This was actually a really well done video!

[@dustyhurst8195]

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

[@DrDolan2000]

I do like the theory that this Sam Loomis is the same one from Psycho. The actors even look alike; and I like how the comics expand on his history But even without those things being canon, Dr. Loomis is such a great character and I wish Pleasence didn't die when he did. 75 is too young

[@samanthahobbs8578]

Fabulous Breakdown As Always! The Sarcasm is On Point!

[@mariothomas102]

Cool nods and homework on the TV version of H1 say but I noticed you covered it good job with H6 as well I just recently watch 2 of these from you keep up the good work on them

[@insertnameheretopleae]

"shots him in the eyes to temporarily blind him" XD

[@mikey62382]

Also it helps that Jamie Lee Curtis mother is Janet Leigh and it helps to Link her to Psycho in her own movie.

[@crystalshaw8744]

Just discovered your channel...love it!!

[@yinyangphoenix]

This vid was really well done! I would like to see the Rob Zombie timeline version.

[@fernworm511]

A Dr. Loomis series would be sick.

[@brandoncard5586]

I always love your posts! Especially the Stephen King and Halloween Franchise. But just a small tidbit and it really doesn't or takeaway from the movies or video but Dr Loomis gives Laurie one of his guns in the operating room.

[@r3ptile584]

This channel is criminally underrated.

[@MissSavvy]

Man, that Goblet of Fire comparison you made was on point 😂😂😂

[@bonsaiwater6880]

I feel like loomis really truly did care about Micheal. Even though at the time he was evil and out of control, somewhere he still kinda knew that micheal was just a child

[@virgie4715]

Right. Well Loomis understood better than anyone that there was an evil living inside Michael, probably also along side Michael. The actual Michael is in there, but I kinda look it at like possession. Except a very different view of it than what we normally get from movies. I think Loomis claimed he’s the embodiment of evil to detach himself from the boy that he knew. To make it seem like there is no Michael, that just happened to be what his parents named his flesh and everything inside is evil. Like there was never a human soul there, but then when he talks about Michael as a child he talks about him like a person kinda. We get a much bigger look into Loomis’s mental health than we ever will Michael’s. I think the more time Loomis spent with Michael and cleaning his messes the easier is was to justify his own insanity (his alleged beliefs ab Michael) and the harder it became to let go. He became more like Michael’s father than his doctor.

[@tayloranderson7547]

So true

[@Roberte9834]

He does care for him, I feel like he has a sense of duty to him as his doctor.

[@abelquinones3646]

I enjoyed this video a lot. Dr. Samuel Loomis (the one played by Donald Pleasence) is my favorite character in the Halloween franchise. And in the entire horror universe. This franchise specifically is my favorite because it's mysterious and leaves the audience wondering until the very end of the original franchise. 1978- 1995. Micheal Myers is the most mysterious and interesting charterer in the entire horror universe in my opinion. On a side note, I get this very strong energy when it comes to the character Dr. Samuel Loomis (the one played by Donald Pleasence.) He's a character that I strongly, deeply admire, and love a lot.

[@srstockard]

your videos are always awesome, but this one had me cackling like a witch! I paused probably a dozen times to recover from your jokes 😂 keep up the great work

[@ElJefeS4]

Hell yeah, a 30m video! Thanks!
