Those scenes were definitely the most tragic/heartbreaking parts of the series imo. Even though the movies played on the idea that Myers was the embodiment of pure evil, it was nice seeing small glimpses of human Michael in that shell. It brings up the possibility of there still being some humanity inside him that did want to stop killing, and did want to get help from Loomis.

Not gonna happen in that genre, sure, but that could make a heck of a good fanfic request for Yuletide or some kind of writing fest.

I would read the shit out of that fic too.

I'm totally with you on this, OP.

[Picture is Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis from the movie "Halloween". Michael is a man with short brown hair combed back wearing a white mask, a black jacket and wielding a knife in his hand, with the blade down. Dr. Loomis is a man with tanned skin, a balding head and a light gray beard and mustache wearing a brown jacket. He is looking at Myers. They are standing somewhere with poor illumination.]

I know it would never have happened, but I was always disappointed that Dr. Loomis never got through to Michael Myers. The scenes where he almost did were the best parts of the movies in my opinion.

I'm always fascinated by scenarios like this, OP, when something that's supposed to be purely evil have those flecks of humanity in them that at least one person tries to reach. I like that Loomis tried for so long.

As an aside, I don't know how much the 'reboot' Zombie movie was well received, but I really liked that Michael seemed a little bit more human in his version. Not sure why.

The downside of the Zombie remakes, for me personally, was that while they made Michael more human, they destroyed the brilliance of Pleasance's Loomis. >(

Have to agree with you there, I don't get the choices made with that version of Loomis in the least.

tbh i hated it because it made him more human. though the whole "he's evil because he was abused" backstory made me roll my eyes so hard they nearly fell out of my skull.

I'm not sure they were saying that, though. Although I thought the 'stripper mom' and 'loser stepdad' were totally lazy writing on the part of Rob Zombie, I didn't see any suggestion that he was evil because of his abuse and being bullied (or because he was dirt poor and living in a ramshackle house). I thought they made it pretty clear early on that he was already that way.

It's been a while since I saw the movie, so I might be remembering wrong.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure if it was intentional but that's the impression I got from the film. I think Zombie wanted to make his own movie (by hinting that Michael the result of an abusive childhood) but he also wanted to stay true to the original (which portrayed Michael as a force of evil from birth) so the message got a big mixed up in the middle. But the whole abusive-childhood thing could have been done without imo. But hey, it's a Zombie movie, so he has to populate them with the most heinous of assholes (the necrophiliac ambulance drivers were particularly charming).
