Quotes 

• Brackett : It's Halloween. Everyone's entitled to one good scare.

• Brackett : I have a feeling that you're way off on this.

  Loomis : You have the wrong feeling.

  Brackett : You're not doing very much to prove me wrong!

  Loomis : What more do you need?

  Brackett : Well, it's going to take a lot more than fancy talk to keep me up all night crawling around these bushes.

  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.

  Brackett : More fancy talk.

• [as Lonnie is about to enter the Myers house] 

  Loomis : Hey! Hey, Lonnie, get your ass away from there!

  [Lonnie and his mates run. Loomis smiles to himself as a hand grabs his shoulder. He spins around, surprised, to find Brackett] 

  Loomis : Oh! Jesus!

  Brackett : Are you all right?

  Loomis : Yeah.

• [referring to a partially eaten dog] 

  Brackett : A man wouldn't do that.

  Loomis : This isn't a man.

• Brackett : Every kid in Haddonfield thinks this place is haunted.

  Loomis : They may be right.

• Loomis : [pulling his gun after being startled by a crash]  You must think me a very sinister doctor... oh, I have a permit.

  Brackett : Seems to me you're just plain scared.

  Loomis : Yeah, yeah I am...

• Sheriff Leigh Brackett : [beginning to believe Dr. Loomis about Michael's escape and coming to Haddonfield]  All right, I'll stay with you tonight. Just for the chance that you are right. And if you are right, damn you for letting him go.

• [inside Myers' house] 

  Loomis : Hey... What is that?

  Brackett : A dog.

  [Loomis and Brackett walk next to dog] 

  Brackett : It's still warm.

  Loomis : He got hungry.
