He is definitely in my top 5 favorite film characters of all time, and my favorite horror film franchise. He wasn't some buffed out Stallone or Schwarzenegger (I do love both of them don't get me wrong) type of character, just a middle/old aged, over-anxious, court psychiatrist with a gun and a trench coat. When I was younger, as much as I liked the other sequels, he was always my favorite part of them and was excellent, even in the ones that are looked down upon, and I still stand by that. Not trying to knock Malcolm McDowell, but I felt his portrayal of the role wasn't that good in my opinion. Donald Pleasance was absolutely phenomenal in his portrayal of this character, his 'Devils Eyes' monologue is the stuff of horror legend and he loved playing the role. When he passed away, the series (to me) just didn't feel the same, and I do like H2O, but not Resurrection. There will always be one Loomis to me, and that's all I need. R.I.P to Mr. Pleasance.
Same here! Wonderfully said and totally get what you mean =D. He is what made Halloween perfect, the way he pronounced his lines, just phenomenal. Malcolm did a good job but replacing Donald is impossible, he's a true Legend. Same here, I actually like Halloween 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 best, the remakes, 3 and H20 are solid, but Resurrection is quite poor indeed. Beautifully said!
Loomis is one of my all-time favourite heroes. What a badass. There's also something of Van Helsing and Captain Ahab in him that makes him intriguing. Pleasance was a master actor and I agree with every word you said.
Christopher Walker Couldn’t agree more. The series should have ended when he passed away, it’ll never be as good. Myers and Loomis worked like Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty or the Doctor and the Master. Donald Pleasence is the one and only Dr Loomis!
Rest In Peace Donald Pleasance For Acting In Halloween Movies And Other Films I Have. Which I enjoy And Also keep his memories alive in my heart.Thank You 💘 ChristineSixteen.
What I love about Dr Loomis is the fact that he was willing to let Michael kill him if it meant he wouldn't hurt anyone else, the man is a selfless hero
agreed but I also think Danielle deserves one for her performance as Jamie in H5, the way she portrayed a traumatised girl, wow just wow, don't think an actress like Hilary Duff could done that
You want HER!!! Here's your little girl!! Michael! Let's play a game! Catch the little girl!!!! Man that scene was terrifying! Donald Pleasance played that role! The best ever! R.I.P DP
“An hour ago I stood up and fired six shots into him. He just got up and walked away. I’m talking about the real possibility that he is still out there!” Love that line!
It's probably been already said in comments below, but I'll say it again with nothing but love and appreciation for the man's skills: My GOSH but Donald Pleasance could act. He could deliver a line, he could give a presence, he could show emotion both in a restrained fashion and unrestrained fashion. He could do so much and I think the reason the Halloween series is the thing he's most known for is because it's the only real film or film franchise that he could REALLY show all his acting abilities. Throughout the Halloween series, I've seen him display fatherly direction and kindness, frustration and rage, despair and resignation to something he disapproves of, fear and shock, obsession and determination. He's just AMAZING as Dr. Loomis because he's shown so much you really believe you've seen a real person. In EVERY role, big or small, Donald Pleasance has done very well. But in Halloween...I got the honor to see a truly amazing actor bring INCREDIBLE skills and talent, bringing a NECESSARY and CRUCIAL element to the Halloween franchise. John Carpenter and some pretty good actors made the Michael Myers character but I assure you....Donald Pleasance MADE the Halloween franchise. I'm 33 and I've missed you for over 20 years. Thank you for everything you've done, Donald Pleasance.
Haha love it! My Mom introduced me to "Halloween" years ago and, whenever I used to ask her, "So is Loomis actually afraid?" She always gave the best answer: "No. Not anymore. Now he's just PISSED." RIP Mom 🎃
@@danpartridge8584 tbh I hate the new Halloween like a lot, I do watch the remakes for Danielle and H20/Resurrection cause it came out in the 90s/early 2000s which is a big thing for me cause I am a 90s kid myself. But I love the parts with Loomis the most. And I respect 3 cause I had a nice time with Tom Atkins when I met him in 2017.
The end of Halloween 4 always gives me chills. He tried to kill evil just for it to come back. You can see the facial expression and how hurt he sounds when he sees Jamie had killer her mother. Top tier actor
Still miss this awesome actor. The Halloween films have never been the same.😢😢😢😢Never got any Oscar nominations for his work. A career that spanned over 40yrs.
One of the best lines ever (Love all Loomis' lines). BTW I cannot find that comment you posted about the blinking/moving eye, but at that point Jamie was not dead, she was just unconscious. In the Producer's Cut Jamie lives for most of the movie ;-], and the moving eyes is to show how much she has to deal with in her dreams, since she suffered for 6 years continuously. Thought I'd let you know =3
Donald Pleasence was brilliant to play Dr Sam Loomis and he did such a memorable role :) . I love the original Halloweenmovie and the scene when he talked about Michael Myers and said he is simply evil and it was nerve chilling and eerie . Halloween still haunts me even today and it's my favorite horror movie and i like the other movies also :)
+lalaxbo Cannot agree more. That was indeed such an amazing scene! Must say he had great lines in all his Halloween movies, like Daniel Farrands says: "The Halloween movies haven't been the same without him". Same here, although I am not a fan of Resurrection.
lalaxbo True, although I am not a fan of H20, I am more into the first six movies, I really love Donald's character, Loomis and I also loved Rachel (Ellie) and Jamie (Danielle & JC).
I really tried to like 4,5 and 6 but i just thought 6 didn't make any sense at all . But it was really fun to see Dr Sam Loomis appear in the movies :). So that's why i prefer the order Halloween 1 and 2 and H20 20 Years Later . I can't wait for Halloween Returns :).
The Theatrical Cut is indeed quite a mess and they treat Jamie like dirt =|. But the Producer's Cut is far more logical and a solid movie, even though Jamie's still recast it's a great movie. I love the character of Loomis and also the character of Jamie, so I guess that's why I prefer 4-6 over H20. Plus in H20 they made Jamie non-canon, which I really found sad since she's my favourite character along with Loomis and Rachel. Me too, although I am not so fond of the plot so far, still hope for a Halloween 9, but still a new Halloween movie is already good ^.^.
The Shape and the Franchise would not of been what it was without him. Having that 1 character who knew what Michael was and letting him build up the evil that was upon them was more than any jump scare or kill. The speeches were always masterclasses in acting. To this day he is still missed. What an actor Donald was 👏👏
He was frightened of Michael Myers. He even comes out & says multiple times throughout the films that he's scared. What he is though is courageous. For courage is NOT the absence of fear, but doing what's right even in the presence of fear.
Fantastic actor, he was the reason i kept watching the Halloween movies and nobody could have played Doctor Loomis better. His passion for the role made it all the more memorable and he always gave more than 100%!! Doctor Loomis is probably my favourite horror character of all time, badass but at the same time very human!!! RIP Donald.
Donald Pleasance left an impact wherever he went, he was awesome, and no one will ever replace him, in my opinion he was the best part of the entire series
He was always my favorite character. His will to survive to capture Michael alive and the dedication he put in was perfectly portrayed by Donald Pleasance. R.I.P.
Halloween is my favorite movie of all time. To this day I believe Dr. Loomis is the most important part of the movie. Loomis is %50 Laurie is %25 and Michael is %25. Donald Pleasence is one of the greatest actors ever. I've said for years that without him there is no movie....
Donald Pleasence truly gave his heart in the role of Dr. Sam Loomis, The line deliverence, the acting etc. Is just incridible R. I. P. Donald Pleasence You're gonna stay in our hearts forever
First ran into Donald at Shepperton Studios in England when he was shooting "From Beyond the Grave" for Amicus. Later met with Debra Hill when she and John Carpenter had just finished the first Halloween. Everyone loved him! - Brian McFadden, author "Amicus Horrors," and "The Real Woman Behind Halloween," Debra Hill.
One of the aspects of the Halloween movies I like is Donald Pleasance playing Dr. Loomis. I think he gives the original Halloween movie more stability. It seems without his character that the movie would have been another scream teen movie. The speech he gives about Michael Myers when him and the cop are upstairs in the Myers house is amazing. The musical score from the Halloween movie is second to none. Originally the movie was going to be called "The Babysitter Murders". One of the people involved with making the movie checked old movie titles to see if any movie had used Halloween in the title and no one had. The rest is history.
Halloween isn't the same without the late, great Donald Pleasance. His presence in this role commanded attention, not in the same way as Schwarzenegger or Harrison Ford or Sylvester Stallone, but still commanded the attention of the audience. Pleasance's roles in Prince of Darkness, You Only Live Twice (as SPECTRE leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld), and The Great Escape (opposite Steve McQueen) were also solid performances. Thank you Donald for making the Halloween film franchise what it was.
The fact that Halloween 4 actually had a Ben tramer mask...and they couldn't make it into the Shatner mask.. Baffles my mind!!! It's gotta be the Biggest editing GAFF in Horror movie History...omg
Damn man RIP Donald Pleasance, there is not another character matched To him as Dr.Loomis every Halloween movie with him in it is amazing especially the original 1978 best acting thank you Legend!! 🎃🖤
He was what kept these Halloween movies in check and that's why everybody loved them, ya they kind of got cheesy after part 2 but he expresses his obsession with michael and he feels bad because michael escaped and is now killing, even though he warns people, they all looked at him like he was dumb, and crazy but after they find out they come running to him.. just like a lot of movies people want a explanation and he gave it for michael myers, just like Jason, jeepers creepers, Texas chainsaw massacre, freddy Kruger, people always want a explanation and somebody who knows how to kind of defeat them or at least stop them in a way, that's why Halloween has always been more successful and frightening, I mean everyone thinks michael is human but the evil that possesses him is immortal
well I work just a few hours a week along with school, but I am having a break from it for 2 weeks now ^.^. So had time to relax much =3. How was work for you?
There will never NOT NEVER be another out of this world actor like Donald Pleasence a.k.a Dr. Loomis. This amazing man put extreme hard work in H1,2,4,5,6,7 & I applaud 👏👏 him to it all. Continue to rest in paradise Loomis. #Gonebutwillneverbeforgotten
Donald Pleasance was so awesome! His mannerisms when describing Michael. His spiel about Michael, saying how he has the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes. Everytime a sheriff or someone calls Michael a man, or a human, Loomis says something like "this isn't a man!" or "you talk of him like he's human. That part of him died years ago." So awesome, and this whole video gave me CHILLS!!! I will watch 3 or 4 Halloween movies, based on the original movie, tonight. Probably the first movie, the second, the fourth, the fifth, and if time permits, the 6th. I already watched H20 last weekend. I won't watch Resurrection, as i thought that was the worst in the series.
Loomis knew more than anyone what an unholy monster Michael Myers was. He was prepared to do everything it took to make sure no one would die again by his hand.
As much hate as Revenge and Curse get, i loved them a lot, because of Donald Pleasence, he did an amazing job as Loomis, even tho he's gone now, we still have the movies to see his amazing acting skills. R.I.P. Donald Pleasence
same but also cause I love the characters Jamie, Rachel, Tina, Kara, Tommy, Danny and Jamie's baby Steven. Also love how Wynn's the villain. May Donald rest in peace
I like all the halloween movies he's in just a great actor & character in the franchise he makes you get chills every time he talks about michael myers #RIP
I'm surprised Michael didn't drive poor Dr. Loomis to the crazy house. It's almost like he didn't have a life outside of trying to convince everybody how evil Michael was,keeping him locked up and trying kill him to prevent him from killing others smh. His dedication was honorable.
In an early draft of halloween 6, Dr Loomis is now a patient at the sanitarium where Michael stayed all of those years. Tommy then takes over as Michael's opposite number. That idea was scrapped.
I love his actor. He is my favorite. In my opinion the best, talented, charismatic actor of all time. Of course "Halloween", but not only that. Also many other wonderful roles of this unique man.
Donald pleasance was an incredible role in this movie he and Michael couldn’t not be in the same film together it’s almost like they were actually really just after each other loomis was the only man that wasn’t afraid to go toe to toe with Michael. Loomis was the only one who knew Michaels motives and what he would and would not do and where he would go and would not go.
He is definitely in my top 5 favorite film characters of all time, and my favorite horror film franchise. He wasn't some buffed out Stallone or Schwarzenegger (I do love both of them don't get me wrong) type of character, just a middle/old aged, over-anxious, court psychiatrist with a gun and a trench coat.

He was the movie. Michael didn't talk.
Me too
“This isn’t a man” lol

Donald Pleasance gave 1000% in every role he plays, he is awesome
So true!
Presley Kraus true
Great Escape was great.
People forget he was one of the first villains in the 007 series!
EXACTLY brilliant actor
Dr Loomis is as mysterious, dark and badass as Michael. The combo of Dr Loomis and Michael is what separates the Halloween franchise from others.
Perfectly said!
Yes. Jason had nobody challenging him
@@VOTE-HARRIS Well, Tommy Jarvis sort of did.
@@Admuto87 yeah but if it weren’t for Tommy. Arguably. Jason would still be dead in a grave.
I agree. He’s like a Dr. Frankenstein in a way and Michael is his monster out of control
Dr. Loomis is, hands-down, the greatest horror movie character ever. His captain Ahab style persona should have become a horror trope itself.
Like what Van Halen is to Dracula!
Maybe the best character ever in film history! Dr. Loomis for life! R.I.P. Donald Pleasance.
I agree, plus all the Halloween movies without him miss something. May he rest in peace.
He even took on James Bond
(You Only Live Twice).
Lonnie get your ass away from there just watched halloween last night jamie lee curtis was a fox.

In my opinion , Donald was much of an iconic character as The Shape.
An actor to be cherished, bond, great escape, loomis, twilight zone, everything
He was pretty much the only reason I looked forward to the Halloween films.
I get that, the ones without him feel empty
Yes miss the real loomis
May he rest in peace😪
Such a great actor
Keep making movies donald you are missed by fans

“You don’t know what death is”
The most memorable part of the Halloween franchise is when Loomis looks over the balcony after shooting the boogeyman, and seeing that he is gone.
Also a very memorable part, but I recall Loomis words about Michael the most, they were so haunting and perfectly delivered.
It confirms even to Loomis himself that Myers, who he used as a metaphor for not being human, was IN FACT actually not human.
I so wish I could have met him

I miss this man so much! 😔 Thanks for making this video.
A wonderful actor
RIP
one of the best actors in halloween donald pleasence
+Juan Rosales true ^.^ and the franchise hasn't been the same without him!
Right
hey how was work
well I work just a few hours a week along with school, but I am having a break from it for 2 weeks now ^.^. So had time to relax much =3. How was work for you?
Im glad that went good for u i had a horrible day at work.
There will never NOT NEVER be another out of this world actor like Donald Pleasence a.k.a Dr. Loomis. This amazing man put extreme hard work in H1,2,4,5,6,7 & I applaud 👏👏 him to it all. Continue to rest in paradise Loomis. #Gonebutwillneverbeforgotten
agreed
Donald Pleasance was so awesome! His mannerisms when describing Michael. His spiel about Michael, saying how he has the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes. Everytime a sheriff or someone calls Michael a man, or a human, Loomis says something like "this isn't a man!" or "you talk of him like he's human. That part of him died years ago." So awesome, and this whole video gave me CHILLS!!! I will watch 3 or 4 Halloween movies, based on the original movie, tonight. Probably the first movie, the second, the fourth, the fifth, and if time permits, the 6th. I already watched H20 last weekend. I won't watch Resurrection, as i thought that was the worst in the series.
coolcatrick ,
Loomis knew more than anyone what an unholy monster Michael Myers was. He was prepared to do everything it took to make sure no one would die again by his hand.
The End in Halloween 4 is the best!!
Must confess I love the endings of H1,H4 and H5 just as much, they are all very strong and give you the feeling you want more.
xImpossibleGirl I just watched H resurrection as you messaged me xD
As much hate as Revenge and Curse get, i loved them a lot, because of Donald Pleasence, he did an amazing job as Loomis, even tho he's gone now, we still have the movies to see his amazing acting skills. R.I.P. Donald Pleasence
same but also cause I love the characters Jamie, Rachel, Tina, Kara, Tommy, Danny and Jamie's baby Steven. Also love how Wynn's the villain. May Donald rest in peace
Every time Loomis showed up in one of the movies, I felt safe haha. Like everything was in control whenever Loomis was around.
This is why the Halloween movies are so good. His acting is fantastic!
I like all the halloween movies he's in just a great actor & character in the franchise he makes you get chills every time he talks about michael myers #RIP
I like the ones with him the most, not a fan of the new one, not that it was bad, but the first 6 (or 5 without 3) were perfect
brilliant collection of clips
Thank you, actually got them from my own blu-rays =]
A character like loomis is what all the other slasher movies are missing. And equally crazy good guy
That's why Halloween rules
Donald was hands down the best
agreed
I'm surprised Michael didn't drive poor Dr. Loomis to the crazy house. It's almost like he didn't have a life outside of trying to convince everybody how evil Michael was,keeping him locked up and trying kill him to prevent him from killing others smh. His dedication was honorable.
In an early draft of halloween 6, Dr Loomis is now a patient at the sanitarium where Michael stayed all of those years. Tommy then takes over as Michael's opposite number. That idea was scrapped.
I love his actor. He is my favorite. In my opinion the best, talented, charismatic actor of all time. Of course "Halloween", but not only that. Also many other wonderful roles of this unique man.
agreed
Donald pleasance was an incredible role in this movie he and Michael couldn’t not be in the same film together it’s almost like they were actually really just after each other loomis was the only man that wasn’t afraid to go toe to toe with Michael. Loomis was the only one who knew Michaels motives and what he would and would not do and where he would go and would not go.
If there was ever an actor to portray the human spirit it's him! R.I.P. Mr. Pleasance... as for you Dr. Loomis...you were throughout it all human.
Great escape 😂 from Michael Myers! RIP 😢
No other doc Loomis comes close. He was that good he seemed really obsessed with Myers for real 👍 legend
Michael had my boy Loomis stressed. RIP to a GOAT
a goat?
Awesome video thanks for making it. Can't wait for Halloween 2018!
Cliff Brower xxx
He was the best actor in Halloween love all the movies big fan
like Daniel Farrands stated it's not the same without him
Loomis added a layer of depth to the Halloween films that will forever be lost with Donald’s passing 😞
tbh I love the films with Donald the most
That smirk at 3:00 was golden
agreed
One of my many favorite scenes from this amazing man! He was simply the best!!
Besides Michael Myers, he was the best character! RIP 1995
Can't help seeing traces of
Dracula here, with Dr. Loomis
as Van Helsing.
how could you miss the scene where he talks to Michael, and Michael puts down the knife in h5 :(
tbh the video was so long I just didn't think of it
DONALD Best Actor Ever 💙💙 Rest In Peace Dr.Loomis in my Heart ❤
Fantastic actor, set the scene for the movies. Sadly missed.
agreed
Screw Malcolm McDowell there's only one Dr.Loomis and that's Donald Pleasence he will always be my favorite Dr.Loomis
Same
Malcolm played a decent yet more naive version of Loomis. Can't beat the real thing.
Descances en paz Señor Donald Placense UN GRAN ACTOR 📹📹📹
