during the release of H20 and Resurrection do you think its possible he may have reprised his Loomis character in either film even if only for a small cameo? what makes H20 and Resurrection seem so lackluster to me is the absence of the "Dr. Loomis" character imo opening up with Dr. Loomis being killed off instead of "Nurse Marion Chambers" who was in both Halloween 1 and 2 for 11 minutes total wouldve made for a much better movie imo
I love the entire series even both RZ remakes but not having Loomis in H20 and Resurrection just feels weird to me the original H20 script originally featured Loomis daughter being killed off

He probably would. I don’t know exactly how they’d incorporate him in those movies, though. I think H20 works better with Laurie in the forefront.

I could see a plot thread in H20 where Loomis hunts/follows Michael to California, but I like the idea of that less than what we got. One of the good things about H20 is how uncluttered and to the point it is.

It is devoid of all the convoluted stuff in Halloween 5 and 6 (and I actually like 6), which helps the movie a lot. |

Yeah it was a big help to clear the way for Creed songs and LL Cool J's romance novel side project. |

Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of H20, and as bad as some of the sequels were, I don't think any of them suffered from having Donald Pleasance appearing. |

I hope you don't think I was trying to say H20 was a better movie for lack of Pleasence, but rather, the film's lean story and runtime are a big part of its appeal for me and I don't think a film as flawed as it is could possibly have stood any additional digressions. |

I could see him dying at the beginning of H20. Based on having that lady that shared two scenes with him and his daughter rotating as the opening kills, they obviously wanted someone connected to Loomis in lieu of Loomis himself.
The only thing is, I wonder how Pleasance would take that. Before he died, he said he'd like to do 22 Halloween movies or something like that. He might've considered dying in the first 10 minutes a slap to the face.

I mean, he was pushing 70 by the 90s, so I'm not sure how physical his role really could have gotten. There is a comic that ties up Halloween 2 up to H20 and one of the last scenes featuring Michael and Loomis was with Loomis in his deathbed in the hospital and Michael had abducted his wife and tortured her and left her for dead in front of Loomis tied up in a chair just to taunt him. Loomis goad Michael that he'd never find Laurie (because she moved and changed her identity). Loomis tries to save his wife but sees that Michael carved the name Keri Tate on the back of his wife and he realized Michael always knew that Laurie faked her death and ends up going into cardiac arrest. If something like that was filmed for the prologue of H20, it would be a nice closure to him and Michael's rivalry.

What's the name of it and where can I find it?! |

Yeah, I was responding to the ideas in the thread more than anyone specifically... I could have been more clear. I don't love H20, but the first movie is also a very lean story and that's certainly a strength.

What's the name of it and where can I find it?! It's called Halloween: Sam. Here's the synopsis of that final scene. Corrections, it wasn't his wife. But I think if we got something like this if he were still alive and returned for H20 as Loomis one more time, it'd be fitting.

What's the name of it and where can I find it?! there are docs on youtube talking about the making of H4 and H5 and how Donalds role in both films had to be reduced slightly as he was a much older man and tired easily during filming, I just always wonder what if he were still alive I think he would've definitely appeared in both H20 and possibly Resurrection even if only for a small cameo. but those would've probably been his last
