1978 Halloween Movie Quotes

Creepy Quotes from Halloween the Movie 1978

Karen Curley
The original 1978 Halloween movie has some of the creepiest quotes of any movie production. The Halloween movie created Michael Myers, a six year old boy who murders his seventeen year old sister. He is sent to a mental institution for fifteen years and escapes right before Halloween. Michael Myers is depicted as the essence of evil that keeps returning over and over again, reeking terror and death wherever he goes.

Many more Halloween movies have been produced but none is as spine chilling as the original 1978 Halloween movie which gives the world the infamous, Michael Myers and his physiatrist, Sam Loomis.

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 what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... *evil*.

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...

Dr. Sam Loomis: I- I- 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. Now you can either ignore it, or you can help me to stop it.

Dr. Sam Loomis: You've got to believe me, Officer, he is coming to Haddonfield... Because I know him - I'm his doctor! You must be ready for him... If you don't, it's your funeral!

Dr. Sam Loomis: You've fooled them, haven't you Michael? But not me.

Boy: Yeah, our pumpkin?

Boys: (laughing) Boogeyman, boogeyman, boogyman!
