Sam Loomis' journals

The journals of Doctor Sam Loomis were written by the noted psychiatrist between 1963 and 1971 during the time that he worked at Smith's Grove Sanitarium in Warren County, Illinois. The journals contain his dissertations on mental patient Michael Myers, who had murdered his older sister Judith Myers on Halloween night in 1963 when Michael was only six-years-old. The journals take note of a string of mysterious deaths that took place among the other patients at Smith's Grove, including the falling death of Loomis' fianc, Jennifer Hill. Although there was no direct connection linking the deaths to Michael Myers, Loomis remained convinced that Michael was responsible. He spent the next eight years insuring that Michael would never step outside the halls of the institution ever again.

In the late 1990s, a man named Tommy Doyle, who had only recently survived his own harrowing encounter with the adult Michael Myers, put in a request at the Warren County Records Office to acquire the Loomis journals. He spoke with a man named Michael Cyphers, who agreed to send them to him. Moments after Cyphers sent off the journals, Myers appeared in his office and murdered him by stabbing him in the chest, pinning him to the door.

Tommy Doyle received the journals, and poured over them, learning everything he could about the mental history of Michael Myers.
