RIP, great actor.

Sad that he had to slog through all the mediocre sequels and miss out on H20 when Jamie Lee Curtis finally came back to the series. It would have been SOOO great to have him and Jamie Lee fight the Shape one last time.

If you look at Halloween 6, he looks really tired. It's no wonder since only a month or two after production wrapped, he passed away. Kinda sad watching 6 since it's the last few months of his life, but at least he put his ill-health aside to appear in one more Halloween film for the fans.

Yea I knew he died before halloween 6 came out.Hey I know THIS is a blonde moment I just got that wes craven gave a little shout out with naming his main killer in scream billy loomisafter Dr Loomis lol

'Will Penny'? Pleasence's best performance was in 'The Caretaker', and when he did it on Broadway he was a hit. Either won or was nominated for a Tony as Best Leading Actor.

In some earlier posts some people talked about how old they were when they saw the Halloween movies. I first saw it when it came out on regular tv and at the time i think i was 7 or 8. On the tv version they cut out some of the gorier stuff though.

eBayit's a bootleg version.

plate of shrimp

Where can I get the Producer's Cut version?

You probably mean Halloween 7 and 8 dusteater. 9 isn't out yet it's still in early works. To answer your question ZooLander Dr. Loomis never was killed off in a movie it was mentioned in H20 that he had passed away. The movie company changed the ending of 6 to leave it open as to whether or not Michael kills Loomis but if you have ever seen the original version which is known as the producers cut not only is the ending different but almost the whole movie. The producers cut is much better than the final version I'd recommend seeing that version over the theater version.

oh i didnt know sorry!! i was about 11 or 12 when i started watching that stuff. i never even heard of half the good movies that i know and love today. but of course i had no taste back then. all i ever watched was disney movies which are also good but not all the time!!

You should know because he was missing in Halloween 8 and 9.

I only knew he died when I rented "Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers" at Blockbuster video. I read the back of the video box and it stated, "Donald Pleasence appears as Dr. Sam Loomis in his final film."
I agree that he has had many wonderful roles and he was a very versatile actor LONG BEFORE "Halloween", but Dr. Sam Loomis was most likely his best known role. That being said, his long career has not been tarnished because of Loomis. His other roles are still remembered and appreciated by those who love his films.
The important thing is that he is remembered and missed by ALL of his fans, "Halloween" or otherwise. Don't you agree?
"I shot him six times!"

He was originally supposed to be in Halloween 7, but since he died after Halloween 6, they had to refilm the ending, so his character was supposed to die in Halloween 6. Originally, he didn't.

I agree 13 is too young to be watching rated R horror movies. I was 15 and if my parent knew they would have killed me. I am a lot older than that now! I feel stupid being on this board with 13 year olds!
If you all want to really know what is going on you need to start with the original Halloween 1978 with Jamie Lee Curtis and watch in order to the last movie!!! It has been so long since I saw all of them so I don't remember a lot.
