[edit] Dr. Sam Loomis

  • I met him fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no, uh, conscience, no understanding and even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six year old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply evil...He's been here once tonight. I think he'll come back. I'm gonna wait for him.
  • You've fooled them, haven't you Michael? But not me.

[edit] Dialogue

Loomis: He hasn't spoken a word in 15 years.
Nurse: Are there any special instructions?
Loomis: Just try and understand what we're dealing with here. Don't underestimate it.
Nurse: Don't you think we could refer to it as him?
Loomis: If you say so.
Nurse: Your compassion's overwhelming, doctor. You're serious about it, aren't you?
Loomis: Yeah.
Nurse: You mean you actually never want him to get out?
Loomis: Never, ever. Never.
Nurse: Then why are we taking him up to Hardin County if you're just gonna lock...
Loomis: Because that is the law.
Lynda: [concerning Annie] The only reason she baby sits is to have a place for...
Laurie: [realizing she had forgotten something] Shit.
Annie: I have a place for that!
Laurie: I forgot my chemistry book.
Lynda: So who cares? I always forget my chemistry book and my math book, and my English book, and my, let's see, my French book, and... well who needs books anyway, I don't need books, I always forget all my books, I mean, it doesn't really matter if you have your books or not... [Michael Myers drives by] Hey isn't that Devon Graham?
Laurie: I don't think so.
Annie: Hey, jerk! SPEED KILLS!
[The car screeches to a halt, just down the street]
Annie: God, can't he take a joke?
[The car finally leaves]
Laurie: You know Annie some day you're going to get us all in deep trouble.
Lynda: Totally.
Annie: I HATE a guy with a car and no sense of humor.
Graveyard Keeper: Yeah, you know every town has something like this happen... I remember over in Russellville, old Charlie Bowles, about fifteen years ago... One night, he finished dinner, and he excused himself from the table. He went out to the garage, and got himself a hacksaw. Then he went back into the house, kissed his wife and his two children goodbye, and then he proceeded to...
Loomis: Where are we?
Graveyard Keeper: Eh? Oh, it's, uh, right over here... [they see the headstone for Judith Myers is missing] Why do they do it? Goddamn kids! They'll do anything for Halloween.
Loomis: He came home!
Sheriff Brackett: I have a feeling that you're way off on this.
Loomis: You have the wrong feeling.
Sheriff Brackett: You're not doing very much to prove me wrong!
Loomis: What more do you need?
Sheriff Brackett: Well, it's going to take a lot more than fancy talk to keep me up all night crawling around these bushes.
Loomis: I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, looking past the wall, looking at this night, inhumanly patient, waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off. Death has come to your little town, Sheriff. You can either ignore it or you can help me to stop it.
Sheriff Brackett: More fancy talk.
Tommy: Was it the boogeyman?
Lindsey: I'm scared!
Laurie: There's nothing to be scared of, now get changed.
Tommy: Are you sure?
Laurie: Yes.
Tommy: How?
Laurie: I killed him...
Tommy: You can't kill the boogeyman!
Laurie: [after Michael falls off the balcony] It was the boogeyman.
Loomis: As a matter of fact... it was.
