    Christopher Lee said that turning down the role of Dr. Loomis was his greatest regret, and while I certainly would have loved his take, Donald Pleasence WAS Dr. Loomis in role, voice and spirit. Rest in peace.

      @@RJstudiosYT Wrong, he was a choice for Loomis along with Peter Cushing the man who played Grand Moff Tarkin they both turned it down. Lee did say he regretted turning the role down and that it was his biggest mistake in his career. They both turned it down due too the low pay which isn't surprising since the first halloween film didn't have the biggest budget.
      Just look it up.

    Donald was fantastic here because of the uncertainty in the tone of his voice and the delivery of his lines. He speaks them the way you would expect someone in his position to speak them. Stammering here and there, pensive looks darting across his face, and looking extremely nervous the whole time. This is what it means to suspend disbelief. Amazing acting.

    To me, this scene personifies why Halloween is the king of Horror movies. It's completely and utterly atmospheric, you feel the danger, the fear and harrowing stakes that are here. Some of the most horrifying and most captivating visuals and imagery ever, some shots make the goosebumps come alive and Pleasance's monolouge make the film feel human, grounded but almost sinister and supernatural like. He creates the idea of a real life boogeyman that will stalk you. A perfect film in my eyes, just perfection.

    was nothing left no reasoning, no conscious, no understanding and even in the most rudimentary sense of life or death, 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 what I realized what was behind that boy's eyes was simply, and purely evil."

After seeing nearly every Halloween film in the last 3 years, I can say without a doubt I prefer the Halloween franchise now. A lot of that is due to the Loomis character. His pursuit and obsession of stopping Micheal Myers is what makes this franchise so good in my opinion. This was a very good film for it's time, and this scene here is so memorable. What a great performance by this incredible actor.

Over the years I compare this to the classic story Moby Dick. Michael Myers is the imposing entity wreaking havoc and mayhem and Dr. Loomis is the brave, steadfast and obsessive hero Capt. Ahab. Actually I recommend watching the first 2 Jaws movies and the first 2 Halloween movies. You definitely see a thematic connection.

      That, and where Dr. Loomis spooks the kids away from the Myers' house. (Low voice, but still able to carry), "Hey! Hey, Lonnie. Get your ass away from there!" The satisfied grin he gets from seeing those 3 bolt is priceless!

      One of the best scenes in film history.

    No shade to Rob Zombie's version but this scene alone tells us all we needed to know about Micheal Myers, no background story was needed.

    Tells the sheriff that Michael is purely evil and then says I'm going to wait for him to come back 😂. Straight up G.
