[edit] Boyfriend of Judith Myers
Appears in Halloween (1978) by John Carpenter as well as the novel Halloween (1979) by Curtis Richards.
The boyfriend of Judith Myers (portrayed by David Kyle). His name is never revealed and he only appears in the opening scene at Judith's house on Halloween (October 31, 1963). During this time, he makes out with Judith in the entry way and in her family's living room after she says "My parents won't be home until ten." At some point he gets the feeling that they're not alone. However, both are unaware that six-year-old Michael Myers is watching them through a window. He asks Judith if they are alone and she replies "Umm... Michael's around here some place." While Judith briefly looks around the living room for Michael, her boyfriend picks up a clown mask and starts goofing around which distracts Judith from her babysitting duty. Eventually he and Judith go upstairs to have sex. After they have sex, he tells Judith that it is getting late and that he has to go. At the last minute Judith asks him to call her the next day and he promises to do so. While all of this takes place, unbeknownst to him, Michael is hiding from behind a wall and peeking around the corner waiting to see when the boyfriend will leave. Once he does, Michael walks up the stairs and murders Judith. The boyfriend is never seen or mentioned again in the film.
In the novel, his name is Danny and his role is more substantial than the film, but not by much. Much like the movie, he shows up when everyone is out of the house. Judy plays hard to get instead of just rushing upstairs to "discuss homework" for various reasons, including carving a jack o lantern. Afterwards, they head upstairs to have sex. Michael enters the house and watches from the parlor as Danny and Judy come down the stairs, talking in front of the front door. Judy tries to persuade him to have sex again, but out of fear that her parents will come home and catch them, he declines before promising her he will call her tomorrow. He is only mentioned briefly later. He was initially the prime suspect in Judy's murder, but after Michael's admission and the lack of evidence to contradict his statement, Danny is let go. He is never mentioned again.
[edit] Brady
Appears in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Brady (Sasha Jenson) is the boyfriend of Rachel Carruthers. When he was told by Rachel that their date was off because she had to babysit Jamie Lloyd, he decided to spend the evening with Kelly Meeker. During a scene when Rachel takes Jamie trick or treating, they stop at the Meeker family home and Rachel finds out that Brady is cheating on her with Kelly. Later in the film, Rachel tells Brady that Jamie is the niece of Michael Myers. Brady eventually becomes one of Michael Myers' murder victims when Michael lifts him up and snaps his neck while he tries to protect Rachel and Jamie.
[edit] Bucky
Appears in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Bucky (Harlow Marks) was a worker who encountered Michael Myers as he wandered around an electrical power plant. Bucky told Michael that he was not permitted on the grounds. Seeing that Michael would not leave, the technician told him to stay where he was and not move while he walked towards the building. However, Michael did not listen and picked Bucky up and threw him into one of the electrical towers. The murder caused a blackout in Haddonfield, Illinois.

After the groundskeeper expressed how shocked he was fifteen years ago when Michael Myers murdered Judith, he began telling Dr. Samuel Loomis an equally shocking story about Charlie Bowles, who had been a resident of the nearby town Russellville. The groundskeeper said that Charlie had excused himself from dinner and went out to the garage. He then returned with a hacksaw and kissed his wife and two children goodbye. However, the groundskeeper's story ends abruptly when Dr. Loomis interrupts him and reminds him that he needs to find Judith Myers' gravesite.

She and her husband Mason Strode are longtime inhabitants of Haddonfield and know much about the town's affairs. Both Cynthia and Mason become two of Michael Myers's murder victims early on that evening. After Michael outright kills Mason, he pursues Cynthia further into the residence and locates a picture of Laurie in the family study. Cynthia figures that the man attacking her is really after her adopted daughter, and she exclaims, "No, not my baby!" Cynthia Strode dies soon after Michael breaks her back.

Danny's grandfather John is abusive towards him and his mother, referring to Danny as a "bastard". Danny sleeps in Michael Myers's old bedroom and is being taunted by the "Man in Black", who is the leader of a druid cult, saying "Kill for him". As a result, he draws violent pictures including the Mark of Thorn, symbolizing an ancient druid curse that was inflicted on Michael by this cult. On Halloween, he is befriended by Tommy Doyle, who lives across the street from him. Tommy warns Kara of the danger she and her family are in if they remain in the Myers house, and is proven right when Michael massacres the other Strodes. Danny was to be the next child inflicted with the curse of Thorn, but is seated away in the meantime while the man in black Dr. Terence Wynn and a team of surgeons perform a medical procedure in the operating room. This is interrupted when Michael bursts into the operating room at the last minute slaughtering Dr. Wynn's staff and possibly Wynn as well. Danny later helps his mother and Tommy protect Jamie Lloyd's newborn son Stephen from Michael and Dr. Wynn and his staff at Smith's Grove Sanitarium.

[edit] David Loomis
David Loomis appears in the comic Halloween: One Good Scare. He is the son of Samuel Loomis, and like him, is a doctor at Smith's Grove Sanitarium. Although continuing his father's work, David is careful not to inherit his obsession with Michael Myers. However, when Lindsey Wallace is admitted to Smith's Grove claiming that Michael is stalking her, he finds history repeating itself. David neglects his other patients to interview Lindsey, investigates Michael's history, and even visits his childhood home in Haddonfield. However, on Halloween night in 2003, Michael arrives at Smith's Grove, murdering his way through the staff to get to Lindsey. David tries to protect her, but his fear gets the better of him and he hides as Michael drags Lindsey away to her death. Michael is sure to leave a cracked picture frame containing a photograph of David and his father, a message that he plans to return for him. David is also mentioned in the comic Halloween: Sam, set in 1995, when Marion tells Sheriff Brackett that he has not visited his ailing father. The character's name and appearance was actually derived from the 1998 fan-film Halloween:Inferno.
[edit] Dawn Thompson
Appears in: Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers

[edit] Deborah Myers
Appears in: Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007) and Halloween II (2009)
Deborah Myers, in the 2007 remake, is the mother of Judith and Michael Myers, as well as the biological mother of Laurie Strode (née Angel Myers). She is played by Sheri Moon Zombie.

After this, Michael is put into custody and Deborah later witnesses him attacking and killing a nurse. When she returns home, Deborah commits suicide by shooting herself while watching old home movies of Michael, resulting in Laurie's adoption by the Strodes.

[edit] Deirdre
Appears in the novel: Halloween (1979) by Curtis Richards
Deirdre was a 15-year-old Celtic princess who lived in northern Ireland during the time of the ancient Celtic race. She was the third and youngest daughter of the druid king Gwynwyll and an unnamed queen. She was said to have been very beautiful as she had sand coloured hair, sea green eyes, white cream skin and lips as red as wild rose. She was also said to have been taller than her older sisters. It was also revealed that she was the love of a disfigured boy her age named Enda, who once tried to tell her that he loved her while she was collecting water from a small stream; she then almost fell into it while Enda tried to save her, but she yelled that he was trying to [[Ra[e|rape]] her before running back to the village. Later, on Halloween night, she and her fiancé Cullain were dancing at the joy of their betrothal, with Enda watching them with a knife in his hand as what Deirdre said to him earlier broke his heart so much that he was driven mad and became bent on revenge. As they danced right next to him, he slit Cullain's throat while Deirdre did not notice until Enda stabbed her in the breast, killing her. Enda was killed by the enraged villagers a short time later.
- In the film Halloween II (1981), Michael Myers breaks into Haddonfield Elementary School. While in a classroom, Michael writes Samhain in blood on the chalkboard.

[edit] Don Myers
Appears in the novel Halloween (1979) by Curtis Richards
Don Myers is the father of Michael Myers and Judith Myers in the novel, as opposed to Peter Myers in the film. In the novelization it does not say that he is the biological father of Laurie Strode since that was not revealed until the Halloween sequel of 1981. During a conversation between his wife Edith and her mother about Michael's psychological problems, she says that Don would like to have Michael examined by a psychiatrist. Sometime after Judith's death, he and his wife move to Indiana as life had become unbearable for them due to the media frenzy and stares they received from the townspeople of Haddonfield, Illinois. Fifteen years later, they continue to make payments on the house because it hasn't been sold.
- In the film, Halloween (1978), Mr. Myers can only be seen at the end of the opening scene. He is the first person to approach a young Michael and speak to him after Judith's murder. In the scene, he removes the clown mask and says "Michael?!" in a surprised voice. Also, like his wife, he stares at his son in shock.
- The disappearance of the parents is not explained in the Halloween film of 1978 but in the sequel Halloween II (1981).

- In the novel, the absence of the parents on Halloween 1963 is explained by Judith when she tells her boyfriend that they went to see a movie because they can't stand the constant doorbell ringing caused by trick-or-treaters. In a scene exclusive to the novel, both parents are in attendance at Michael's sentencing to Smith's Grove Sanitarium and are described as tearful.
- In the sequel, Halloween II (1981), Michael broke into the elementary school and drew a picture of his parents, himself and his sister, Judith, standing outside his childhood home. He left the drawing behind after he used a butcher knife to stab his drawing of Judith. It was discovered by the police and brought to the attention of his psychiatrist, Samuel Loomis, who briefly examined it and identified Michael's sister as being the figure stabbed with the knife. This occurred before Dr. Loomis learned that Laurie Strode was Michael and Judith's younger sister.

[edit] Edith Myers
Appears in: Halloween (1978) and the novel Halloween (1979) by Curtis Richards
Edith Myers is the name of Michael Myers and Judith Myers's mother according to the Halloween novelization from 1979 by Curtis Richards (a pseudonym used by author Dennis Etchison). In the novelization it does not say that she is the biological mother of Laurie Strode since this was not revealed until the film's sequel premiered in 1981. It also mentions that sometime after Judith's death, she and her husband moved away to Indiana due to the media frenzy and rude stares they received from other townspeople. It goes on to mention that they continue to make payments on the house which hasn't been sold after the death of their eldest daughter.
- Michael's mother could be seen briefly in the original Halloween after Judith's murder. She is seen with her husband after they find Michael holding the knife outside the family home. The mother stares at Michael, apparently in shock. After this scene in the original, the parents are never seen again. It isn't until the release of Halloween II (1981) that the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Myers is explained. In the sequel, nurse Marion Chambers tells Dr. Loomis that two years after Judith's death (1963), Mr. and Mrs. Myers died (1965) and Laurie Strode was eventually adopted by the Strodes. Mrs. Myers is also the grandmother of Jamie Lloyd and John Tate. She is also the great grandmother of Stephen.
- In the 1979 novel, the absence of both parents on Halloween 1963 is explained by Judith when she tells her boyfriend that they went to see a movie because they can't stand the constant ringing of the doorbell caused by trick-or-treaters. In an exclusive scene in the novel, the parents are in attendance at Michael's sentencing to Smith's Grove Sanitarium and are described as tearful.
- In the sequel, Halloween II, Michael broke into the elementary school and drew a picture of his parents together with his sister, Judith. He left the drawing behind after he used a butcher knife to stab his drawing of Judith. It was discovered by the police and brought to the attention of his psychiatrist, Samuel Loomis, who briefly examined it. This occurred before Dr. Loomis learned that Laurie Strode was Michael and Judith's younger sister.
- The comic "The First Death of Laurie Strode', also uses this name - Edith appears pregnant in a flashback scene in which a young Michael fantasises about killing his unborn sibling.

Appears in Halloween III: Season of the Witch
[edit] Enda
Appears in the novel: Halloween (1979) by Curtis Richards
Enda was a 15-year-old boy who lived in northern Ireland during the time of the ancient Celtic race. He was apparently disfigured as he had a shrivelled arm and a twitching mouth, and was born from his mother in the wrong position. He was passionately in love with Deirdre, a Celtic princess his age. His father and brother cruelly mocked him for this, but his uncle was kinder to him and said that Deirdre was a wretch and he rather see her marry his goat or the family dog. Enda, however, tried to tell her one-day while she was collecting water from the small stream near their village. She almost fell in and he tried to save her, but she yelled that he was trying to rape her before running back to the village. This broke his heart so much that he was driven to insanity and, on Halloween night, he grabbed a sharp knife and brutally killed Deirdre by stabbing her in the breast and had her fiancé's throat slit while they were dancing. He was then killed by the enraged villagers shortly afterwards and his soul was cursed to wander the land until the end of time, repeating the same events of that night as his ghost possessed Michael Myers and was the reason why he was a murderer. It is unknown what happened to Enda's father, brother and uncle after his death, but its possible they were so enraged at the curse he received may have also cursed Deirdre's soul to wander until the end of time repeating the same tragic heart break she caused him.
- In the film Halloween II (1981), Michael Myers breaks into Haddonfield Elementary School. While in a classroom, Michael writes Samhain in blood on the chalkboard. Later on, the police and Dr. Loomis enter the school and examine what Michael wrote. Dr. Loomis does his best to explain to the police what Samhain means.

[edit] Grandmother
Appears in the novel Halloween (1979) by Curtis Richards
Grandmother of Michael Myers, an exclusive character to the novel only appearing in the first chapter. Earlier on Halloween 1963, Michael is with his mother, Edith, who is visiting her mother. During the visit, Michael's grandmother tells him a "bogeyman" story but is interrupted by Edith, who says, "Enough is enough!" At this time, Edith then tells Michael to put on his clown costume and model it for his grandmother. After Michael leaves the room to put on the costume, Edith tells her mother that Michael has been getting into trouble at school and at home. She reveals to her mother that he's been having violent dreams, wetting the bed, getting into fights at school, and not getting along with his sister, Judith. The grandmother reminds her daughter of her great grandfather, implying that he had done something terrible. However, Edith has heard the story before and the grandmother doesn't go into detail because Michael is about to enter the room. After Michael models his clown costume, his grandmother says, "Edith, please fetch me some cold cream and lipstick from the tray in my bedroom. Might as well complete the picture." Michael then replies "I don't want makeup." His grandmother says, "Of course you do. You don't want anyone to guess who you are when you go around playing pranks." Michael then answers back saying "I'm not going to play pranks. I'm just going to ask for candy."
In another chapter in the novel, hours before murdering Judith, Michael goes trick-or-treating with a group of other children and they stop at his own house. After Michael knocks at the door, Judith answers. She jokingly refuses to give the children candy and asks Michael what he and his friends will do to get some. Michael answers her by saying, "We'll kill you", shocking Judith and prompting her to ask "Who said that? Michael Myers, was that you?". Michael responds by saying "I'm not Michael Myers. I'm a clown."
[edit] Great Grandfather
Mentioned only in the novel Halloween (1979) by Curtis Richards
Great Grandfather (maternal) of Michael Myers. The character Sheriff Leigh Brackett provides more background on Michael's family history. He tells Dr. Loomis that when Judith was murdered, the sheriff at the time was Ron Barstow who overheard Edith saying "He's come back" or "It's come back". Sheriff Brackett goes on to say that Sheriff Ron Barstow asked Edith what she meant and was given the answer that a thing or something had possessed her grandfather. With that answer, he then went to the town hall and researched Edith's family history through old newspaper clippings and records. Brackett then said "It seems the man went berserk back in the eighteen-nineties. It was at a Grange dance, I think Ron said. He pulled a revolver from his belt and blasted a dancing couple. They hanged him." Later on into the conversation, Sheriff Leigh Brackett reveals that former Sheriff Barstow had said that the great grandfather's crime occurred on Halloween.

- Main article: Laurie Strode
Appears in: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, Halloween: Resurrection, Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007), and Rob Zombie's Halloween II (2009), as well as in the novel Halloween (1979) by Curtis Richards (pseudonym used by author Dennis Etchison)
Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) from the original Halloween film series is Michael Myers's and Judith Myers's younger sister. Fifteen years after Judith's murder on October 31, 1963, Laurie is stalked by Michael who tries to murder her. But Laurie manages to escape in the original Halloween film of 1978, the sequel from 1981, and in Halloween: H20. Michael succeeds in murdering Laurie in Halloween Resurrection. In the original Halloween and its sequel, she does not know that she is related to the Myers family. However, she does know that she was adopted and has a few dreams that offer vague insights into her real identity. The first dream she has is of when she was a little girl, with her adoptive mother saying with a tone of annoyance "I'm not your real mother! Stop asking me questions!" The second dream shows her walking into a large room where a male pre-teen is seen sitting in a chair and turning to look at her. But as soon as that happens, she wakes up. When she does find out that she is being stalked by Michael Myers, she asks "Why me?!" The only people that know she is related to the Myers family are Dr. Samuel Loomis and also Nurse Marion Chambers, who tells him so in the sequel of 1981. However, it is revealed in Halloween: H20 that she had learned of her relation to the Myers family sometime after the sequel, as she tells her boyfriend that she is the younger sister of Michael Myers and Judith Myers, which led her to change her name to Keri Tate so that her brother couldn't find her. How Laurie finds out that she is related to the Myers family is never shown in any of the original Halloween films. She is the mother of Jamie Lloyd and John Tate. She is the grandmother of Stephen Lloyd from Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.
Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) in Rob Zombie's version of Halloween is revealed to be the younger sister of Michael Myers, which she discovers in the following film, Halloween II. Her name before being adopted by the Strodes was Angel Myers, and she was nicknamed "Boo" by a young Michael.
- According to the information provided by Marion Chambers in the sequel Halloween II (1981) with regards to Laurie Strode's true identity, she was two years old in 1963 at the time of Judith's death and Michael's institutionalization in Smith's Grove - Warren County Sanitarium. Laurie Strode most likely would have been born some time in the year 1961.
- Laurie Strode is featured in novelizations based on the movies as well as in comic books.
- The novel Halloween by Curtis Richards (1979) contains elements not seen in the film. Michael Myers stalks Laurie Strode because he thinks she resembles Judith Myers; earlier in the day, when Laurie drops off the key to the Myers house, she is plagued with thoughts about Judith's murder for much of the day.

Michael Audrey Myers (born c.1957) is the main antagonist of the film series and a serial killer. He targets his family and anyone who is in the way. In John Carpenter's Halloween, it appears that Michael comes from a middle-class family living in the suburbs of the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois. There is no background to explain why Michael, at the age of 6 years, killed his older sister, Judith Myers and stopped talking (October 31, 1963). As a result of his heinous crime, Michael is institutionalized in the fictional Smith's Grove - Warren County Sanitarium. But in an exclusive scene in the novel, a judge says that Michael will go to trial at the age of 21 for the murder of his sister. In a scene in the movie that takes place fifteen years later (October 30, 1978), it is implied that Michael is mentally ill and suffering from schizophrenia when Dr. Loomis tells Nurse Marion Chambers that he wants Michael to be on thorazine when he is seen by the judge. Presumably, Michael would be going to trial for the murder of his older sister. However, it isn't until the sequel of 1981 that the film alludes to the possibility that Michael has something more going on with him than mental illness when he writes the Celtic word Samhain in blood on the elementary school chalk board. In the 1979 novel by Curtis Richards, Michael's need to kill is caused by spirit possession and relates to the festival of Samhain. This is conveyed through a dream that Michael has, which happens to be very similar to a murder that took place during a Samhain festival in ancient Ireland (it is mentioned in the novel's prologue). Also, in the novel a young Michael hopes that by killing Judith, the voice inside his head will go away.
In the remake by Rob Zombie, Michael's urge to kill is caused in part by his dysfunctional home life. His mother, Deborah Myers, works as a stripper and is in a relationship with Ronnie White, who is a drunk and verbally abusive. Judith Myers has a larger role in the film and is an outspoken and promiscuous teenager. However, it is revealed from the beginning that Laurie Strode is his sister and that Michael is very fond of her. Michael's first murder victim is a school bully, Judith being his fourth and last before being institutionalized.
- Known relatives of his based on 1978's Halloween, Halloween II (1981), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers and H20, include Mr. and Mrs. Myers, Judith Myers (his first victim), Laurie Strode, Jamie Lloyd, Stephen Lloyd, and John Tate.
- According to the information provided in Halloween (1978), Michael Myers, based on the date of Judith's murder (October 31, 1963) and his age at the time in which it occurred (6 years old), he would have been born sometime in the year 1957.
- In two scenes exclusive to the 1979 Halloween novel by Curtis Richards, Michael, after murdering Judith, walks into the kitchen to drink milk and eat some cookies. After he has a snack, he then walks out the front door where his parents find him holding the knife. In another section of the novel after Michael has been institutionalized, Michael talks to his psychiatrist, Samuel Loomis, about having a Halloween party. This contradicts the original 1978 film, where it is said Michael stopped talking after murdering Judith in 1963.
- Also in the novel, after Laurie drops off the key to the Myers house, Michael watches her walk down the road and takes an interest in her because he thinks her features resemble Judith.
- Following Rob Zombie's Halloween reboot, relatives include Judith Myers, Laurie Strode, and Deborah Myers.
- In Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, it is revealed when Dr. Hoffman is typing a report on him, that his middle name is Audrey. The same middle name is given in one of the additional scenes created for the network-TV airing of the original film, as one of the doctors at the Smith's Grove sanitarium reads to Loomis a judge's ruling that Michael be remanded to their custody.
- In the original Halloween from 1978, Michael is 6 years old when he commits his first murder and has light brown hair and brown eyes. In Rob Zombie's remake, Michael is 10 years old when he commits his first murder and has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Dr. Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasence) first appears in the 1978 film Halloween and is a psychiatrist. His patient is Michael Myers. He goes to Haddonfield, Illinois after Michael escapes from Smith's Grove Sanitarium. Once in Haddonfield, he goes to the local cemetery and discovers that Judith Myers's tombstone is missing, thus confirming his suspicion that Michael returned home. He later informs Sheriff Leigh Brackett about the danger that Michael poses for the residents of Haddonfield. Throughout the film, he searches for Michael and successfully finds him at the Doyle residence. There, Dr. Loomis shoots Michael, who is strangling Laurie Strode, which causes Michael to fall out a second floor window and onto the front lawn. But when Dr. Loomis peers out of the window, he discovers that Michael is gone. This character returns in Halloween II, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, and Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. In Rob Zombie's Halloween from 2007, a new incarnation of the character would be introduced, portrayed by Malcolm McDowell. This character appeared again in Halloween II from 2009 and was portrayed by the same actor from the 2007 film.
Dr. Loomis is a character in the Halloween novelization by Curtis Richards as well as in many of the Halloween comics.
