Loomis
Background
Sam Loomis is a psychiatrist in Illinois.
During the events of Halloween (1978) played by Donald Pleasence
Loomis is driving with Marion to the Illinois State Hospital. She tells him that the only thing that bothers her is when the mentally ill speak in gibberish. Loomis tells her that Michael hasn't spoken a word in fifteen years. He warns her not to underestimate Michael and that he never wants Michael to get out of the mental ward. Marion notices that some of the mental patients are just wandering around and Loomis tells her to hurriedly drive to the main gate. He gets out of the car and runs to the gate and Michael jumps onto the car and attacks Marion who manages to get out of the car. Michael then climbs into the car and drives away.
Dr. Wynn tells Loomis that he isn't responsible for Michael's escape and blames Loomis for not telling the authorities how dangerous Michael was. Loomis uses a payphone to call the police department in Haddonfield and warns them that Michael is on his way there. He notices an abandoned truck and finds the matchbook that Marion had in the car. Loomis goes to the cemetery and the Graveyard Keeper takes him to Judith Myers's grave and they find the headstone missing. Loomis drives up to Brackett and tells him that he needs to speak to him.
Loomis and Brackett drive to the Myers house and they find a partially eaten dog inside and Loomis tells Brackett of when he first met Michael who he describes as emotionless and pure evil. Richie and Keith dare Lonnie to go inside the Myers house and Loomis scares them away. Brackett walks up to Loomis and tells him that he thinks Loomis is wrong about Michael coming into town. Loomis notices the Illinois state vehicle parked nearby and starts walking towards the car. Brackett finds Loomis walking down the straight and Loomis tells him that Michael is nearby. Loomis sees Tommy and Lindsey running and screaming and goes inside Tommy's house. Michael attacks Laurie and Loomis shoots Michael numerous times until Michael falls out of the window. Laurie tells Loomis that Michael was the boogeyman and Loomis tells her it was. Loomis then looks out the window and Michael's body is gone.
